Does the eWON need to be connected to my business network?
No. The eWON only needs access to the internet and the Elkhart Brass equipment network.
Can Elkhart Brass access my sensitive business information through the eWON?
Absolutely not.
How do I connect it to the internet?
The internet connection can be wired or wireless (WIFI). Any WIFI access point will work, such as a mobile
hotspot, cell phone or dongle that can function as a mobile hotspot, or your business WIFI access.
A wired connection from any network that has internet access will also work. Wired connections will configure
automatically when the unit is powered up and the Ethernet cables are plugged in.
WIFI connections need to be configured, but once configured, the unit will auto connect. The WIFI is set up by
default with the following:
SSID: ELKHART BRASS
PASSPHRASE: ELKHART BRASS
Can the SSID and passphrase be customized?
The customer can send their desired SSID and passphrase to us and we can preconfigure their values into the
unit. We will also need to know what type of encryption will be used (WEP, WPA, or none).
NOTE: The SSID and passphrase cannot contain any special characters.
Alternatively, Elkhart Brass can send instructions for field configuration of the unit.
Can I use my GUEST wired or WIFI connection?
Yes. Guest connections usually offer internet access only while blocking access to sensitive data that Elkhart
Brass doesn’t need to see anyway.
What makes the EWON connection secure?
Encryption, and multiple technologies and procedures ensure a secure connection.
CONNECTIONS: The EWON uses outbound connections over ports that are commonly left open by IT
professionals because they are not considered a threat. Ports used are (TCP:443 and UDP:1194) and the EWON
is compatible to most proxy servers and works within most existing firewall rules.
PASSWORDS: Unique user logins, connection audit trail, double factor authentication.
NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE: Globally redundant Tier 1 hosting partners, 24/7 monitoring, SOC 1/SSAE
16/ISAE 3402 Data Centers, ISO270001, CSA
ENCRYPTION: Sessions are via a virtual private network, and are end-to-end encrypted using SSL/TLS for
session authentication and IP SEC ESP protocol for tunnel transport over UDP and TCP/IP. The connection is
encrypted using a 2084-bit key exchange.
