Some organizations prefer to host a standalone instance of the Baseline server. Because a BaseStation controller is pre-configured to connect to the cloud-based Baseline server, some configuration changes are necessary in order to have the controller connect to the self-hosted server.

After the self-hosted Baseline server has been installed and configured, ask the server administrator for the server’s IP address.
