Qiata Quickstart Guide

Initial configuration

This tutorial will guide you through the initial configuration of your new Qiata. The basic steps required for use are explained here. But your Qiata can do much more. Explanations of all the Qiata's features can be found in our documentation.

Install your Hardware Appliance

1. Unpack appliance
2. Install or mount the appliance
3. Optional: Configure IP address via the LCD (only HWA-Business)
4. Establish network connection: Port 1 or Management-Port

tip

Ex works the port 1 is configured with the IP address 192.168.2.1.

Using any browser, we now access the DOMOS interface of our appliance. In this example, the IP address 192.168.1.71 was configured via the LCD, but the necessary steps for a configuration via the WebUI will be explained anyway. If no IP address has been configured, make sure that your computer can access the network address 192.168.2.1 and enter the following address in your browser: https://<IP-QIATA>:10000

Install your Software Appliance

1. Download the latest ISO file from our website: https://www.secudos.de/en/help-and-support/downloads/category/1-qiata
2. Create a virtual guest for the Appliance.

caution

Minimum requirements:

• 1 or more CPU(s)
• 4096 MB RAM, more recommended
• 1 or more network interface(s) with fixed MAC addresses
• min. 50 GB HDD drive

More resources are recommended.

3. Ensure that you boot from the CD image (ISO) supplied by SECUDOS. Perform a plain installation from the CD image without applying any changes from the virtual hosting software (e.g. setting IP address during the installation). Please avoid using templates provided by your virtualization software. The installation will start automatically after a few moments. The setup does not require any input or interaction. Once the setup procedure has completed, the virtual appliance will shut down. Before you start your freshly installed appliance, make sure that the installation medium is removed before proceeding. You have now successfully installed Q-SWA. You may now proceed with configuring the Q-SWA.

danger

Please note that the Secure-Boot function must be disabled for the virtual machine.

Import license

caution

If your license is a abo license, you can skip these steps as the license will be installed automatically.

Go to the tab "License" and import the license you received from us or your reseller. This should be a file with the extension .xml. Choose the file from your system and click on "Upload". After successfully importing your license, you can verify your features, as well as you software subscription.

To be able to guarantee a good experience for Qiata, the license must not have expired and must be set to "Yes" for the values Well Formed, Signed and Applicable, respectively.

Configure Properties

• Set a "Company FQDN" (e.g demo.secudos.com)
• Choose a "Default Language"
• Set a mail address for the Primary Company Administrator (the PCA will receive it's credentials by Mail)
• All other settings are optional. You may change these.
• Click on "Update"

You will receive an email with password details for the PCA you entered. From here you can start creating new Groups, User and much more. We recommend looking into the more specific Qiata documentation for enhanced informations.
