WeConnect
This chapter describes the WeOS support for the Westermo WeConnect service.
Westermo WeConnect is a centralised on-line connectivity service offered by
Westermo as a separate product (not normally included in the purchase of a
WeOS product).
The idea of the service is to connect equipment and networks through the Inter-
net in an easy way, but at the same time safe and encrypted using standard VPN
features.
The secured networks set up by WeConnect can be used in many ways such as
remote management, interconnection of remote network locations, centralised
logging and alerts, emergency access, etc.
WeConnect is managed with an on-line web portal. In this portal you are able to
define your virtual secure networks and create VPN configurations for WeOS units
and other clients and nodes. For more information about the service and how
to sign up for it, please visit Westermo’s home page at
In WeOS, WeConnect is set up using an installer that takes you through some
easy steps that takes care of the configuration for you.
You only need the Secure Network Code and the One Time Password (OTP) for
your unit from the WeConnect web portal to be able to run the installer. WeOS will
use the Code and OTP to make an encrypted download of the configuration and
certificates from the on-line portal service. The VPN will automatically connect
when the installer procedure is completed and your unit instantly becomes part
of your secured network.
