Step 4: Establish Trust Between Devices

Once you finish adding devices to your network, you can use the Airwall Teams dashboard to create and manage the private workgroup you created, accessible from anywhere and across any network.

You grant, disable, and revoke access between devices on the Airwall Teams dashboard. As the owner of your Airwall Teams network, you have full control over which devices can connect together, and can easily manage those connections.

In this section, you learn how to quickly connect devices. There are many other things you can do from the dashboard. For more information about the dashboard and the features available, see Connect devices in the Airwall Teams Dashboard.

At this point, you have completed adding devices and are ready to allow communication between them. The right side of the dashboard provides a visual map of the devices you can connect together. This map is where you manage your connections.The Airwall Teams dashboard

There are two ways to do this, depending on whether you want to connect two devices or connect multiple devices simultaneously.

Connect two devices together

  1. Click the pencil icon in the lower-left corner of the visual map.


  2. Using your mouse, click on a device icon, and holding down the left mouse button, drag the mouse pointer to another device and release the mouse button, as seen in the animation below.
    Note: If the connection is valid, a green circle will appear around the target device. If the circle is red, the two devices cannot be connected. The most likely cause is the target device is not activated.


  3. Verify that a line now connects the two devices together.

Connect multiple devices (peers) together

Here's how you allow all of the devices in your network to communicate with each other.

  1. Click the pointer icon in the lower-left corner of the visual map.


  2. Using your mouse right-click on the icon for the device you want to connect to the other devices, and select Connect to all peers.


  3. Verify the device has a connection to all other devices in the map.

Next Steps

Now that you are familiar with how to add, remove, and manage devices, you can start thinking about how to use Airwall Teams.
