The Endian Firewall Enterprise version has the ability to register to the Endian Network. The registration to the Endian Network allows you to monitor and manage your Firewalls using Endian Network. Your registered Endian Firewalls can also be collectively updated automatically or manually through Endian Network with just a few clicks. In order to be able to get those updates you need to register. The following describes how to register and below you will find the same page of a successfully registered Firewall.

Activation key

Fill in the activation key you got from your Endian Reseller. It is a one way key consisting of 12 characters. The activation key can be used only once.

System name

Give a name. It may be wise to use the systems hostname. With this name you can identify the firewall on Endian Network. Especially if you have multiple firewalls it would be wise to choose a name which contains information about where this system is located, like the customers name or anything like that. This value can be changed on Endian Network after registration.

Short description

Here you can add a short description about the installation. For example information about where you can find the firewall geographically. This value can be changed on Endian Network after registration.
