Provisioning Basics
ETEMS is the appliance management component of the EncrypTight software. It is a configuration and
management tool that lets you provision all of your EncrypTight appliances from a central location.
There are two basic steps to perform when setting up a new appliance. First, add the appliance to ETEMS
and define its configuration settings. Then, push the configuration settings to the appliance.
When configuring a new appliance, the first thing to do is select its product family and software version.
ETEMS displays a configuration screen tailored to the specified appliance model and software version.
On most appliance models the Interfaces tab contains the fields required to identify an appliance: its
name, password access to the appliance (on applicable models), and the interface IP addresses. On ETEPs
with software version 1.6 and later, you can also specify the licensed throughput speed on the Interfaces
tab.
Select other tabs to configure additional items on the appliance, such as EncrypTight settings or logging.
The availability of specific tabs and configuration options varies depending on your appliance model and
software version.
Other than the interface IP addresses, many appliance settings will be the same for all EncrypTight
appliances in your network. For these cases ETEMS lets you customize the default configuration to use
on your appliances. This offers a significant time savings if you are provisioning a large number of
appliances. Another time-saving feature that is useful in large deployments is ETEMS’s ability to import
configurations from a comma-separated values (CSV) file.
