Getting Started with Sophos Wireless in Sophos Central

The instructions on how to set up a Sophos Central trial account and how to activate Wireless in Sophos Central can be found in the files folder

https://community.sophos.com/sophoswireless/m/files_/9380

What you will need to get started:

A Sophos Central Account
A current Access Point (AP 15/55/100) which has been updated to the latest firmware

Updating the firmware: Please ensure you follow the steps in this order and don't forget the delete the AP from the UTM once you're done as otherwise you will not be able to add it to Sophos Central.

a) Install UTM 9.4

b) Enable Wireless

c) Configure a simple wireless network (no encryption)

d) Connect AP to UTM, wait until it shows up as a pending AP

e) Accept the AP, assign the wireless network

f) Wait until the AP shows as an active AP

g) Delete the AP

Happy testing!

Thanks

Barbara

Barbara,

I have completed the prerequisites and am having an issue with the sync. I am getting an error in phase two "Error".

The UTM I hooked up to is running Firmware version: 9.400-9.

Regards,

Alan

Hello Alan,

Regarding the scenario where you get the error message: Is it while registering the Access Point in cloud or while creating the user account ?

regards

Alex.

Hey Alex,

Thanks for reaching out. I am receiving the error when attempting to "claim" my AP within my SophosCentral Account. I sent some screen shots over to Dirk Bolte on the 29th.

Hi to all,

we have had the same problems to claim an access point. The reason was, that the Accesspoint tries to get a connection to the

sophos provisioning Server. These are serveral IPs and after it get the first initial pakets it changes ports from HTTPS to HTTP.

If you put any to firewall for the accesspoint claiming the APs works in our case. We don´t have a transparent Proxy in out LAN.

Is there an FQDN available for all IPs the accesspoint needs for initial and operative communication with Central?

Regards Marc
