Adding Unmanaged Nodes

Adding other organization's computers as unmanaged nodes in Console.

In Console, a node is defined as an Aspera-transfer-enabled computer. A node can be added as a managed node (typically a local system) or an unmanaged node. The following table displays tasks that can be performed on each node type:

Type	Permissions
Managed Node	Initiate transfers with, monitor and configure this type of node.
Unmanaged Node	Initiate transfers with this type of node.

To add an unmanaged node, follow the steps below.

Unmanaged node's administrator must apply patch to Aspera Central

If the unmanaged node is running Enterprise Server, Connect Server or Point-to-Point version 2.7.X or older on your node, then the Administrator of that machine needs to apply a patch to Aspera Central. To download the patch, please go to http://www.asperasoft.com/en/support/patches_10/Aspera_Central_27448979_Patch_Readme_35 and follow the on-screen instructions.
Navigate to Console's "Unmanaged Nodes" list

In Aspera Console, go to Nodes > List Unmanaged Nodes.
Add a new, unmanaged node

Click the New Unmanaged Node button to go to the Creating New Unmanaged Node page. Enter the node's IP address, description and SSH port number.

Click the Create button when finished. You new, unmanaged node will be listed within the table, along with edit and delete links.
