3.1.5 Registering IRP instances using tokens
Creating a GMI token authorizes the Global Management Interface (GMI) to access an IRP instance. Here’s an outline of the registration process:

- Generate a Token: Use the IRP Management Tool (Irpmng) to generate a GMI token. This token acts as a secure authorization key for GMI access (for detailed instructions follow Creating GMI Tokens section.
- Save the Token: It’s important to save the GMI token immediately after generation, as it cannot be retrieved once lost. Keeping the token secure ensures it’s available for future authorization of the IRP instance into GMI.
- Register the IRP Instance: In the Figure: GMI authorization form, enter the token and the IP address of the IRP instance to complete the registration.
