Generating an Activation Token in Cisco Spaces for MAS Monitor Integration

This guide details the step-by-step process for generating an Activation Token in Cisco Spaces, which is required to integrate Cisco Spaces with Maximo Application Suite (MAS) Monitor.

The Activation Token allows MAS Monitor to fetch building and location data from Cisco Spaces, enabling location-aware monitoring and insights.

Steps to add the Integration to MAS Monitor

  1. Log in to Cisco Spaces
    Open dnaspaces.io/login in your browser and sign in using your Cisco Spaces credentials.

  2. Search for the Application
    After logging in, navigate to the Home page. Use the search bar to find the application. For this exercise, we will use the app named Copy_Test App_TBI (Prod).

    Search for the Application

    Ensure you search for the application that contains the list of buildings or locations relevant to your integration. The application should include the physical spaces / locations you intend to monitor with MAS Monitor.

  3. Open the Application Settings
    Once you locate the app tile for Copy_Test App_TBI (Prod), click on the gear icon located on the tile to open the application’s settings.
