Deployment of the Secure Edge appliance is simple and fast. Once you've installed the device at the remote location, perform the following steps to get your client up and running.
-
Plug in both ends of the power cable and wait 10 seconds for the left light on the front of the device to turn green. If the left light does not turn green, ensure that the power supply is connected properly.
-
Connect the included Ethernet cable between the blue Internet port on the appliance and any LAN port on the router or modem at the remote site. If this is the first time you've connected the device to the internet, allow at least 10 minutes for the provisioning processes to complete.
-
Once the provisioning finishes, the left-hand power light and the right-hand WiFi light on the front of the device should be solid green, indicating that the appliance is functioning correctly and is connected to the internet. If not, refer to our client troubleshooting guide.
-
Connect the remote site's computer to the Secure Edge device's wireless network. The remote computer will be able to reach the work LAN just like it would in the office.
