Deploy a Physical Conductor

Tempered Networks offers two physical Conductor models, the Conductor 400 Series and the Conductor 500 Series. Both are 1U rack-mount security appliances that facilitate private overlay networks between customer-provided equipment and devices.

Note: For the Conductor-500, use only Port 1 or Port 2. Do not connect anything to any of the other ports. Conductor diagnostics assume the interfaces are connected to Port 1 or 2.

While both models are similar, you should familiarize yourself with your model's front panel layout, specifications, power requirements, and safety warnings before use. These can be found in your model's Platform Guide, included with your Conductor. If you are unable to locate your Plaform Guide, you can download a PDF from the Documentation Downloads section of the Documenation Center.
