Configure the Proventia Manager (Local Management Interface or LMI)
The Proventia Manager allows you to make simple configuration changes to the appliance, while SiteProtector is the management interface for all other functionality (they are separate systems).
A. From the Configuration laptop or PC, browse to the IP address you entered for the management interface: https://management_interface_IP/
(Note: If your browser is using a proxy, be sure to add an exception for this IP address, because it is probably not registered with the proxy server.)
Log on using the Proventia Manager credentials you entered in Step 4, and then run the Proventia Setup Wizard.
• If prompted, download the appropriate JRE (Java Runtime Environment) for the Proventia Manager.
• Obtain a license for your appliance. Navigate in the left-hand menu to Maintenance > Licensing, and then click on the ACQUIRE LICENSE button in the center screen. The appliance automatically acquires the license.
B. Connect the appliance to SiteProtector.
• Navigate in the left-hand menu to Configuration > Registration.
• Click the checkbox “Register with SiteProtector”.
• Enter the SiteProtector group that the Enterprise Scanner agent will report to.
(Note: Groups not already existing in SiteProtector will be created automatically.)
• Enter the appropriate Agent Manager name, IP address for the SiteProtector system and credentials (if any).
(Note: The IP address may be the same as the SiteProtector IP address if the Agent Manager and SiteProtector are installed on the same computer.) This will be used to broker commands from SiteProtector to the Enterprise
Scanner agent.
C. Save your changes.
• You should be automatically prompted to enter authentication credentials for SiteProtector. If not, navigate in the left-hand menu to Configuration > Authentication.
• Enter the SiteProtector administrative username (make sure you are using the SiteProtector administrative username and NOT the appliance username) and password to ensure encrypted communications. This may be obtained from your SiteProtector administrator.
(Note: The system is not fully registered until the Authentication page shows its status as Authenticated.)
Start SiteProtector
A. Login to SiteProtector using credentials provided by the SiteProtector administrator.
(Note: This will require you to install the SiteProtector Console as well.)
B. The Enterprise Scaner agent will appear in the group you configured in Step 5, configure the Proventia Manager LMI.
