| - | ====== Connectivity Suite Manual ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Supported Network Setup ===== | ||
| - | Secure and simple network management is one of the main features of the Connectivity Suite. The network can be flexible setup depending on customer needs. NetModule recommends to do a basic setup of the network as shown in the following simplified image. | ||
| - | {{:cs:connectivity_suite_network.png|}} | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Provisioning ===== | ||
| - | Initially a device does not know anything how to connect to the Connectivity Suite. The user has to create an initial configuration of his device depending on his needs by using the web interface or CLI. Once this is done the user configuration has to be importet into the Connectivity Suite. The Connectivity Suite will add the required information to this imported user configuration. The information that is added is for example network address of the Connectivity Suite installation, VPN configuration, key material and many more. Now the user can download this configuration file to the device by either doing this with the web interface or with a USB stick. This is the moment when the device can connect for the first time to the Connectivity Suite. To be more precise the device will connect to the provisioning server. At this point by using the Connectivity Suite, the user is free to assign the new device to any tenant in the network without having to provide complex things like public and private keys of tenants and devices. It can be done by simply selecting the target tenant and wait for a few seconds. | ||

| - | Please note that future versions of the Connectivity Suite will be further simplify this procedure. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Tenants ===== | ||
| - | The grouping of devices to a tenant allows to manage devices easily. From the user perspective a tenant could be used for a country, region, business unit or whatever is needed. Administration rights can be assigned for each tenant separately. Devices that belong to one tenant can not communicate with all other tenants in the network. | ||

| - | ===== Comparison between Cloud Router and Connectvity Suite ===== | ||
| - | If you have been working with the Cloud Router, you might want to know what the difference is between the two solutions. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Cloud Router ==== | ||
| - | In the Connectivity Suite the Cloud Router is represented as a Tenant. Note that the Connectivity Suite can have more than one Tenant. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Remote Station ==== | ||
| - | A Remote Station is called Device in the Connectivity Suite. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Control Station ==== | ||
| - | A Control Station allows the user to connect directly with the Remote Station in the Cloud Router. The Connectivity Suite allows to download the Service Access Configuration, which can be used to connect to the Remote Station via the CLI or web interface of the connected device | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Devices ==== | ||
| - | In the Cloud Router the Device is the equipment that is connected to the Remote Station. These are called ??? in the Connectivity Suite. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Debugging a Device ===== | ||
| - | Users of the Connectivity Suite require sometimes to have a direct access to the device. The user has to install a VPN client on his computer first. Once this is done there are several options how to access the device directly. One option is to select the device in the Connectivity Suite and select the option OPEN WEB INTERFACE. A new tab in the web browser opens which allows to use the web interface of the device. The other option is to download the Service Access Configuration via the Tool icon. The Service Access Configuration is a ZIP file that contains required certificates and keys which are needed to access the device via SSH. | ||
