To install your Network Connector first you will need to identify a suitable Host Server (see Network Connector Requirements).
Once identified, it is recommended that you start this process from a browser session on the server. If this is not possible, you will need to copy installer files to the server as part of the process.
Then there are 2 phases:
- Setup: In this phase, the Network Connector is created with a friendly name and an IP address for the virtual adapter, that will become part of your private network
- Installation: In this phase, the Network Connectors will be installed, authenticated and securely connected to your private network. These steps are specific to the OS of the server.
- Network Connector Setup
- Log in to your account, go to Network Settings and click on the Add New button beside Network Connectors.
- Give a friendly name to your Network Connector. This is mainly for you to be able to easily identify each connector when you have more than one.
- Assign an IP address (or accept the suggested value).
Note: The IP address must not conflict with any internal IP range on your server or with the private range used by your SIMs. - Continue and select the appropriate OS (Windows or Linux):
- For Windows, select the appropriate platform (32 or 64 bits)
- For Linux, select the distribution (RedHat or Debian family)
- Download the installer (you will have to copy the installer to your server if you are browsing the portal from a different computer).
- Copy the activation code provided by the user interface
- Complete the installation (see below).
