2. On the **Access Systems** page, click **New Access System**.

   Seam Console displays a Connect Webview that enables you to connect your ACS to Seam.
3. In the Connect Webview, click **Continue**.
4. If the Connect Webview displays multiple brand options, click **Visionline**.
5. On the **Set up your Seam Bridge** page, click [**latest Seam Bridge client**](https://www.seam.co/seam-bridge/releases/latest).

   [Seam Bridge](https://docs.seam.co/latest/capability-guides/seam-bridge) is a software-only component that enables you to connect on-premises software systems to the Seam platform. Because Visionline is an on-premises ACS, Seam Bridge is required for Visionline systems.
6. Download the Seam Bridge executable onto the on-premises computer that is running Visionline or onto a computer on the same network.

   For systems requirements, see [Seam Bridge](https://docs.seam.co/latest/capability-guides/seam-bridge).
7. Run the downloaded Seam Bridge app.
8. In the **Welcome to Seam Bridge** window, type a name for the site that you are connecting using Seam Bridge and then click **Start pairing**.
9. Copy the pairing code.
