Bringing an APX 120 to life and am an absolute beginner in the technical side of connectivty field. I own an XGS 107 firewall.

michael sim1

The following questions arise when bringing the APX to life.

Does the Device need a Heartbeat licence when installing via Sophos Central?

Does it need any other licence other than the heartbeat I mentioned other than those included in the default licence pack when purchased initially (WiFi licences or other)?

I'll get to SSIDs and other specifics once I've succeeded in activating the APX 120.

But does APX 120 need to go through the XGS 107 firewall or my network provider? In my idea, it seems logical seeing the APX needs the same network name to reach the Sophos Central address and go through my network provider's box to provide bandwidth. yep, I'm an absolute beginner.

Thank you for your assistance.

Michael

    In general: It does not matter in the long run. Both products (SFOS/XGS and Central) do not require a license. So it is up to you, which product you want to use for management. I prefer Central Wireless. 

    But an APX can be only managed by one product and the first product in the chain of communication will pick up the access point. Therefore you have to disable Wireless protection on the Firewall (SFOS) to get it running in Central.

    +1. I was skeptical of running the AP from the cloud, but it is nice and adds a couple of additional capabilities over what the XGS can configure. It also looks like future improvements will take place there and XGS control over APs will be second-class.
