Johnson Controls Airwall Gateway 175 Installation Manual page 2

Connecting the Airwall Gateway to
the network and the Conductor
Before you begin:
You need the following:
• The IP address or URL of the Conductor that manages
the Airwall.
• At least two network cables to connect the Airwall
Gateway to the underlay network and the devices you
want to protect.
• A micro-USB to USB cable.
• A valid SIM card if you are connecting with a cellular
network.
About this task:
To connect the Airwall Gateway to the network and the
Conductor, complete the following steps:
1. Use the power source to connect the Airwall to a
power supply. Alternatively, connect port 5 with a
PoE supplying switch or injector.
Note: If you want to use only one cable for
both the underlay network and POE, you can
reconfigure port 5 through:
- the Conductor
- Airsh in the serial console
- diagnostic mode
For more on these options, see Airwall Help in
Related documentation.
2. Use a network cable in port 1 to connect the Airwall
Gateway to an underlay network with access to the
Conductor, either your company network or the
Internet. By default, port 1 obtains an IP address
through a DHCP client.
3. Use a micro-USB to USB cable to connect your
computer to the Airwall Gateway's micro-USB
console port. See
4. To connect to the Airwall Gateway from your
computer in:
- macOS and Linux, complete the following
steps:
i. On your computer, open a terminal
window and enter the command: ls /
dev/tty*
ii. Find the micro-USB to USB serial interface
name. For example, /dev/tty.usbserial
or dev/ttyUSB0
iii. Use a TTY terminal app such as screen to
connect to the Airwall Gateway over serial:
screen /dev/
tty<serial_interface_name>
115200
- Windows, complete the following steps:
i. On your computer, open Device Manager
to find the COM port used by the micro-
USB to USB cable.

Panels for location.
ii. Open a terminal emulator such as PuTTY,
enter COM port number and use baud rate
115200.
5. At the login prompt, log in with the name airsh
and no password.
6. Run the ping command to check that the Airwall
Gateway can reach the Conductor IP or hostname:
ping <Conductor_IP_or_hostname>. For
example:
ping my_conductor.jci.com
7. Set the Conductor in the Airwall
Gateway: conductor set
<Conductor_IP_or_hostname>. Use status to
verify the Airwall obtained a DHCP address on the
network and connected to the Conductor.
8. Work with your Conductor administrator to
manage and configure the connected Airwall
Gateway from the Conductor.
9. You can now connect the devices you want to
protect to the Airwall Gateway on ports 2 to 5.
