Adding a Synergis™ Cloud Link unit to your Access Manager activates that unit to make
secure connections to a hosted Security Center SaaS Edition (Classic) deployment.
Before you begin
- Verify that the DNS and other
networking settings of the unit are configured.
- Change the default logon password for
the unit.
- Ensure that the Synergis Cloud Link unit has internet connectivity.
Go to
https://<SCL IP address>/CloudAgent, and log on to the
Synergis™ SaaS Agent portal with the same username and password that you use to log on
to the Synergis™ Appliance Portal. The connectivity status is available on the unit
Activation page. If your local network can only reach the
internet through a proxy server, specify the proxy URL and optional username and
password on the Proxy page.
- Ensure that your Config Tool workstation
is on the same network as your Synergis Cloud Link unit.
What you should know
All next-generation Synergis Cloud Link units come with Cloud
Agent pre-installed. Cloud Agent is a separate software module that establishes a secure
connection to the cloud. When the unit is enrolled under a hosted SaaS Access Manager, the
cloud connection is activated.
Procedure
To add a Synergis Cloud Link unit to a hosted Access Manager:
-
From the Config Tool homepage,
open the Access control task, and click the
Roles and units view.
-
Click Access control unit (
).
-
In the Creating a unit dialog box, click Unit
type and select Synergis™ SaaS.
-
In the Network endpoint area, enter the unit’s hostname or IP
address, along with its username and password.
The default username is admin
. Change the default password before
enrolling the unit.
-
Click Validate.
The system verifies the access control unit and displays its MAC address, which
also serves as the unit’s serial number.
-
Click Next.
-
Review the Creation summary window, and click
Create.
Config Tool sends the information of the Synergis Cloud Link to the Access
Manager, which then forwards it to the SaaS gateway. When the unit is connected to the
gateway, a confirmation message is displayed.
-
Click Close, and then click
Refresh (
).
The newly added access control unit appears under the Access Manager that it was
assigned to in the Roles and units view. The default entity name is
the hostname of the Synergis Cloud Link unit. This unit now only responds to the commands
issued by this Access Manager.
To delete a Synergis Cloud Link unit from a hosted Access Manager:
-
In the Roles and units view, select the Synergis Cloud Link unit
from the entity tree.
-
Click Delete (
).
-
In the confirmation dialog box that opens, click Delete.
