How To: Configure Browser Local Network Access Policy for KitCheck

Modified on Fri, Jan 16 at 1:08 PM

Browser Local Network Access (LNA) Policy Explanation

Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge Local Network Access (LNA) policy is a security feature that blocks web applications from connecting to devices on your local network without explicit permission. This affects KitCheck's ability to communicate with your scanning station.

You may notice a pop-up in your browser requesting access to devices on your local network. To ensure security and restrict local network access to KitCheck devices, follow the instructions linked below to explicitly allow access only for KitCheck. We also encourage you to make use of some form of network segmentation to further enhance security. Please contact help@bluesight.com with any questions.
