Chapter 2: Registering with Clavister
Before applying power to the NetWall 100 Series and starting cOS Core, it is important to
understand the customer and product registration procedures. There are two types of
registration:
•
Registering as a Clavister Customer
This involves registering basic contact and company information on the Clavister website
and establishing login credentials. Later, these credentials can also be used by cOS Core for
automatically registering the 100 Series hardware unit and automatically downloading the
correct license.
This is a mandatory requirement for all new customers and needs to be done only once. A
description of doing this can be found below. Even if registration is not done before starting
the cOS Core wizard, the wizard will provide a link to the registration page so it can be done
while the wizard is running.
•
Registration of a NetWall 100 Series Hardware Unit
This is mandatory for every hardware unit before a license can be downloaded. It can be
done in the following ways:
i.
Automatic registration after cOS Core starts - This can done by the
Setup Wizard
which starts automatically in the Web Interface when cOS Core is started for the first
time. The wizard is described in
Section 4.2, “Web Interface and Wizard Setup”
.
ii.
Manual registration of the NetWall 100 Series on the Clavister website - This is
described in the last half of this chapter. Manual registration may be necessary if the
appliance does not have Internet access.
