Find your device ID

If you’re still not connected, you may need to provide your device ID to the administrator for your Airwall secure network.

  2. Find your device ID:

    • v2.2.12 and earlier – Tap the top left menu, and then tap Info. Find the Device ID to provide to your Airwall secure network administrator at the top of this page.

Check your Connection

Open your Android Airwall Agent. Check that:
  • On v3.0 and later, check:
    • Under Select Profile, the correct profile is active.
    • Under Status, check that Connected to Devices shows connected (green).
      Note: If your Airwall secure network administrator has your device set to Disconnected mode, your Connected to Conductor status shows as disconnected most of the time, but you will still have access to devices. See Syncing an Airwall Agent or Server in disconnected mode.

    • Tap Networks. The network details overlay view shows your connection to devices, and the underlay shows connection to Airwall Gateways that manage secure connections to the devices.
  • On v2.2.12 and earlier, check:
    • Under Profile, the correct profile is active.
    • The slider next to the profile is to the right and green
    • Under Status, both Connected to Conductor and Connected to Devices are blue checks.

      This example shows that you're connected to the Conductor, but not yet connected to Devices.

      Connection status

In v2.2.12 and earlier, here are some other statuses you may see:
  • Red check: You can reach the Conductor, but your administrator has not yet accepted your request to connect.
  • Grey dot: No connection, or not connected.
  • Red exclamation point: You need to log in. Tap the exclamation point, or under User Authentication, tap the Log in icon to log in.
