Install an Arctic Wolf 200 series scanner

As part of Arctic Wolf® Managed Risk, install a Managed Risk Scanner to perform continuous risk monitoring and vulnerability assessments.

Note:
  • The 200 Series Scanner applies to all scanner model types selected during onboarding.
  • During connectivity tests, appliances may communicate with external IP addresses behind a cloud service that Arctic Wolf hosts.

These actions are required:

  • Verify that you received these items from Arctic Wolf®:
    • A 200 Series Scanner
    • CAT6 RJ45 Ethernet cables, 2m
    • An AC30 US Power cord, 2m
      Note:
      • If you are in these countries, you are shipped a country specific power cord:
        • Australia
        • Brazil
        • China
        • European Union
        • India
        • Israel
        • Italy
        • Switzerland
        • United Kingdom
      • If you are outside of these countries, you are shipped an AC30 US power cord.
  • Add all necessary IP addresses, ports, and services to your allowlist for full appliance functionality.
    Tip: To see the IP addresses that you must allowlist, sign in to the Arctic Wolf Unified Portal, click Resources > Allowlist Requirements, and then view the IP addresses in the section for your product.
  • If you rate-limit the appliance with Quality of Service (QoS), remove this for best performance.
  • If your firewall provides SSL/TLS inspection, do not do this inspection on the appliance management IP address.
  • If you use an application proxy or layer 7 filter on your firewall, allow outbound traffic for the appliance management IP address.
  1. Install the scanner in the desired location.
  2. Using the AC30 US power cord, connect the power connector on the scanner to a power source.
  3. Using the CAT6 RJ45 Ethernet cable, connect the management port on the appliance to a computer.
  4. Turn on the scanner power.
  5. Configure the scanner.
