Appendix 1 — Installing a Sensor (Version 3.13 and below)

The following procedure explains the complete flow for configuring a Sensor v. 3.13 and below. Some of the initial steps are relevant also for newer sensors. However, the setup wizard has been replaced by the pairing procedure described in Pairing the Sensor.

Step 1 Setting up the Sensor

Install the Sensor hardware. For instructions about setting up the sensor, see Setting up the Sensor.

Step 2 Connecting the Sensor to the Network

Connect the sensor to your network switch. For instructions about connecting the sensor to the network, see Connecting the Sensor to the Network.

Step 3 Accessing the Sensor Setup Wizard

Access the Sensor using its own static IPv4 address. For instructions about how to set up a static IP, see Accessing the Sensor Setup Wizard.

Step 4 – Sensor Setup Wizard

The OT Security setup wizard takes you through the process of configuring the basic system settings.

Note: If you would like to change the configuration later, you will be able to do so on the Settings screen in the Management Console (UI).

To set up the sensor:

  1. On the welcome screen, click Start Setup.

    The setup screen is displayed.

  2. In the Username field, enter a username to be used for logging into the system. The username can have up to 12 characters and must include only lowercase letters and numbers.

  3. In the Password field, enter a password to be used for logging into the system. The passwords must contain at least:

    • 12 characters

    • One uppercase letter

    • One lowercase letter

    • One digit

    • One special character

  4. In the Retype Password field, re-enter the identical password.

  5. In the Sensor IP Address field, enter an IP address (within the network subnet) to be applied to the OT Security Sensor. It is strongly recommended to change the default IP address.

  6. In the Subnet Mask field, enter the Subnet Mask of the network.

  7. If you would like to set up a Gateway (optional), enter the Gateway IP for the network in the Gateway field.

  8. In the IP Address field, enter the IP address of the OT Security platform.

  9. Click Save and Restart.

    The sensor will perform a restart:

  10. Following the restart process, the network traffic will be forwarded to the OT Security platform. If you want to modify the configuration, you will be able to login to the sensor using the configured IP address and the credentials that you have configured:
