SG 210 with software version XG Home License

Koen Spierings

Hello All, 

I've been stumbling around on this forum for a few months now but somehow i still didn't find a suitable solution for my issue:

I bought a SG210 for cheap - i was actually considering to buy a pc with double network cards in it but when i saw that SG210 online for $75 i thought i couldn't get any better deal. 
My intention is (and was) to install the software version of XG Home License on a device so i have a fully functional firewall with all the extra's to setup in my home automation system which is, to be honest, slowly overcrowded with IOT devices that 'need' internet access. I wanted to restrict that access (or limit it at least) to only the necessary functions.

I tried several steps and different solutions:

- gparted the internal HD of the SG210 and than use a bootable USB with the SW 17-5-9 ISO on it but on reboot all the LED's start blinking one after the other and beeps from high to low sounded from the SG210

- installed Ubuntu on the SG210 to be sure the partition was empty and again, after reboot, lights and noise from the SG210 but no installation possible

- reinstalled XG Hardware Appliance OS - which worked fine but was limited due to license limitations

So, my questions are: is it possible to run XG Software with a Home License on a SG210? And if 'yes': How do i get it to work?
I am aware that it is possible to run it on a SG115 and similar models - i just haven't found a way to get it to run on a SG210...

I know there could be a chance that these questions are already answered - if so: please move the post to the appropriate board or remove the post at all but please be so kind to refer me to the solution

    For the time being I will have to put this one on hold here, simply because I haven't got any time in the next few days/weeks...

    At the moment the SG210 is running XG in basic mode in evaluating mode, no subscriptions, no advanced insights, just basic protection.
    I wanna thank all you guys who actively helped trying to solve this issue and if someone wants to take over for the time being: please do so ;)

    I didn't get my hands on a RS232 or com-cable to finish the last suggestion given, that's the disadvantage of living secluded in the mountains :D

    How are you making the bootable XG usb stick? If you use a utility like Rufus, then it's possible to choose the wrong options, and end up with a stick that won't boot. If you use something like Win32DiskImager, then it should "just work". 

     

    Short of that being the problem, watching the console for errors during install is your best bet for a clue. Either connecting a serial cable as already suggested, or a vga monitor, if the unit has a vga port on it, will give you a clue as to what is happening.

    In Rufus you had to choose the DD-Mode for the Sophos Software Iso.
