Front and Rear Panels
1 Install LiveWire Edge
Attach the included rubber feet (4). Screw one end
of the power supply cable to the DC jack on the
back of LiveWire Edge, and plug the other end of
™
the cable into a reliable power source.
Warning: Do not place anything on top of or on
either side of LiveWire Edge as this may cause the
unit to overheat.
2 Connect LiveWire Edge to the Network
LiveWire Edge can be connected to the network
either inline, through the two bridge ports, or using
any of the three available span ports. The bridge
ports will pass traffic back and forth without
interruption while monitoring the connection
whether or not the device is powered on. The span
ports can be connected to directly from any packet
source.
Inline: Disconnect the Ethernet cable between the
router and the modem and plug it into either of
the Bridge ports. Connect a second Ethernet
cable, included in the box, to the other Bridge port
to complete the connection.
Note: If you are using LiveWire Edge to export
LiveFlow data to a LiveNX server via the Bridge
ports, you must connect port 4 on LiveWire Edge
to the WAN side and port 5 to the LAN side.

Connect the 'MGMT' port on LiveWire Edge to your
network router or switch with an Ethernet cable.
4 Turn on LiveWire Edge
Press the On/Off button next to the power cord.
The lights next to the USB ports will illuminate
and LiveWire Edge will boot up.
Note: This may take several minutes.
5 Connecting to LiveWire Edge
With the purchase of a LiveWire Edge, you should
have received an email from LiveAction inviting you
to access the Device Management Service (DMS).
Once the LiveWire Edge is connected to the
internet it will self-register, and from the DMS you
will be able to click on the IP address in order to
connect directly to Omnipeek.
If your LiveWire Edge is not connected to the
Internet, or you choose not to use the LiveAction
Portal, please see the LiveWire User Guide for
detailed information for connecting directly to
your LiveWire Edge.

LiveWire Edge requires activation before it can be
used to capture data and analyze the network. If
the device connects to the internet and registers
with the DMS, activation happens automatically.
Otherwise, activation can be performed through
Omnipeek Web either through the internet, or
manually by uploading a license file.
7 Start Using LiveWire Edge
To capture packets and analyze your network
with LiveWire Edge, simply connect to the
built-in Omnipeek Web application at
https://YOUR_IP, or connect using Omnipeek
for Windows.
Use Omnipeek to create and manage captures,
perform forensic searches, and troubleshoot the
network with packets.
