Note: For additional information about manually configuring a URL, see the Platform
Guide for your Airwall Gateway
model.

- Configure a computer to use DHCP to obtain an IP address and netmask.
- Connect the computer to port 2 of the Airwall Gateway.
- Power up the Airwall Gateway.
- Place the Airwall Gateway in Diagnostic mode. Use the display screen, if present, or follow the instructions in the Platform Guide for your model. The status LED will display a fast, steady blink pattern in Diagnostic mode.

- In the Host box, enter your Conductor URL or IP address.
- Click Submit.

Click Check to check your connection to the Conductor.
If you get a "Connection failed" message, it doesn’t necessarily mean the connection has failed. If it’s yellow, it means unprovisioned, and unlicensed, therefore unable to connect to the Conductor.Tip: Ping the Conductor IP from the Airwall Gateway to make sure it can reach the Conductor.
