  3. After configuring both sides, the OVA will try to initiate one connection per connector configured. A success message will indicate that the "Tunnel is stable":

4. At any time you can reinitiate the connection tests by running 'sudo connect_tunnel.py --force'

5. The last step would be to trigger the connnector's sync from Vulcan's UI by disabling and enabling the connector:

In order to initiate the new connectors sync, disable and enable again the connector

That's it! Your connector is now communicating via Vulcan Gateway.
