Product Manual, TNSR 19.02
Getting Started
Use the following steps to configure the TNSR Secure Router.
1. To configure the Network Interfaces and gaining access to the Internet, follow the instructions provided in the
Zero-to-Ping documentation.
Note: Not all steps in the Zero-to-Ping documentation will be necessary for every configuration scenario.
2. Once the Host OS is capable of reaching the Internet, check for updates (Updating TNSR) before proceeding.
This ensures the security and integrity of the router before TNSR interfaces are exposed to the Internet.
3. Finally, configure the TNSR instance to meet the specific use case. The topics are listed on the left column of
the TNSR Documentation site. There are also TNSR Configuration Example Recipes that might be of assistance
when configuring TNSR.
