- If you are migrating a physical scanner, contact your Concierge Security Team® (CST) to replace the hardware.
- Make sure the required IP address ranges are allowlisted.
- Verify that your new scanner is registered and that it can connect to Arctic Wolf. See Scanner Configuration for more information.
- Arctic Wolf® recommends doing one of these actions:
- Open two instances of the Risk Dashboard to view both the old and new scanners.
- Take screenshots of the old scanner configuration, troubleshooting settings, and scan schedules for future reference.
