Preset in the ACS

Introduction

The preset in IXC ACS is a feature that allows automatic reconfiguration of network devices using a preset firmware file. This tool maintains network consistency and efficiency, especially after restarts or updates.

Example

Preset

A preset is like a default "configuration package" that Internet managers use to configure routers. It works like this: instead of adjusting each router individually, setting all options separately (such as network name, password, etc.), they create a preset with these settings already defined.

Access to Functionality

Path: System Menu > Settings > ACS > Automatic Reconfiguration.

Value Delivery

The presets in the IXC ACS offer:

  • Reduction of downtime
  • What? Minimization of on-the-spot technical interventions
  • Consistent maintenance of settings
  • Improvement in end user experience
  • Optimisation of operational resources
  • Improved scalability

Fundamental concepts

Prerequisites To implement automatic reconfiguration using presets, these are the compatibility requirements necessary for their application:

  • What? Devices compatible with TR-069
  • Connectivity TCP/IP stable
  • What? Presets or profiles GPON configured in System IXC
  • Updated Firmware
  • What? Appropriate permissions for the technical team Automatic Reconfiguration Process

Step ...-------------------------- Post-reset initialization Device starts after reset Activation of TR-069 Authentication and identification Preset consultation 5. Transmission and application 6. Compliance check 7. Final adjustments 8. Operational Confirmation System confirms that the device is operational

Flows and Processes

How to Configure a New Preset:

  1. Access: Tools Menu;
  2. Preconfiguration of the device;
  3. Enable default configuration;
  4. Set settings (e.g. Web Access, WAN DNS, LAN DNS, NTP, Wi-Fi Regulatory Domain and LAN)
  5. Enable remote device access configuration and web port;
  6. Save the Preset configuration.

How to Create GPON Profile:

  1. Access: Settings -> GPON Profiles
  2. Choose Create New Profile
  3. Specify Settings GPON
  4. Associate with device models
  5. Test and implement gradually

Advanced Use Cases

  1. Large-scale post-fall energy recovery
  2. Firmware update with significant changes
  3. Technology migration (e.g. ADSL to GPON)
  4. Mass customization for large customers

Final considerations

Implementation of presets in IXC ACS optimizes operations, reduces costs and improves service quality and customer satisfaction. This functionality is crucial for service providers seeking operational efficiency and consistency in network device configuration.
