Set up physical Airwall Gateways
Before you begin installing your Airwall Gateway, ensure that you already have the Conductor installed and configured. After you are finished installing your Airwall Gateway, you can begin connecting devices.
A Tempered Airwall Gateway allows your organization to create an identity-based, secure and private global connected network. It creates a zero-trust Software Defined Perimeter (SDP), using the Airwall Gateway to establish the perimeter of your logical airgap. This perimeter can be deep in your network, closer to the data source, providing security for your IoT/ IIoT devices. It provides security for devices that can’t protect themselves.
Important: You should familiarize yourself with your model's front panel layout,
specifications, power requirements, and safety warnings before use. Also, you should review the
procedure for connecting your Airwall Gateway to your Conductor. This information can
be found in your model's Platform Guide, included with your Airwall Gateway. If you are unable to
locate your Platform Guide, you can download a PDF from the Documentation Downloads
section of the Documentation Center.
To install and connect Airwall Gateways
To install Airwall Gateways and
connect them to the Conductor, you must first apply power to the Airwall Gateway hardware. Once
booted, you can configure an Airwall Gateway to connect to the Conductor in one of these ways:
- If your Airwall Gateway has a console port, connect a computer to the console port of the Airwall Gateway, and use airsh to configure the Conductor IP address or URL. See Connect to a physical Airwall Gateway or Conductor with a console port.
- Put the Airwall Gateway into diagnostic mode and manually configure the Conductor IP address or URL. See Connect an Airwall Gateway with Diag mode.
- Configure a DNS SRV record. This might require assistance from your network administrator. See Connect an Airwall Gateway with a DNS SRV record.
- Use a factory-configured Conductor URL. This requires assistance from Tempered. See Connect an Airwall Gateway by using a factory-configured URL
