Operating the Amphion 

The Amphion is an integral part of the ei

secure network. Amphions 

must be configured with information for the local internet access, 
and the LAN of the equipment with which you want to connect and 
collect data.  The configuration process identifies the following facts 
about the network environment: 

 

The identification of the Amphion device within the ei

secure network, 

 

The method of connection to the Internet, and, 

 

The addresses of the equipment that is protected by the 

Amphion device. 

Amphion Project and Serial Numbers 

The Amphion devices have a 6-digit alphanumeric serial number 
that is unique to each device and does not change.  When 
configured, the Amphion is assigned an ei

3

 Project number which 

should be written or printed on the device label.  This project 
number is used to identify the Amphion within the ei

managed 

secure network for controlling access and connections to your 
equipment. The project number is in the format xxxx-yy where xxxx 
is an alphanumeric string that designates the facility’s Amphion 
network, and yy is a number where -00 is the green box and each 
subsequent number indicates an additional machine. The black box 
uses -01 only.
