Device Preconfiguration Process ​

Introduction ​

Pre-configuration of devices is an essential feature that allows applying parameters to network devices. This includes LAN settings, WAN, web access, among other parameters. The main objective is to maintain standardized provider network, with the same initial parameters configured.

Access to Functionality

Path: Tools Menu > Device Preconfiguration.

Benefits of Preconfiguration ​

  • Significant reduction in device activation time
  • Minimization of manual configuration errors
  • Standardization of settings throughout the network
  • What? Increased operational efficiency
  • Improvement in network security through consistent configurations

Step by step: Device Preset To start the device preconfiguration process, access the Tool Menu in the ACS.

  1. Button: New Configuration;
  2. Parameters:
  • Web access: Enabled, allows access to devices via web.
  • WAN DNS: It will not allow the user to report any data if it is on automatic. If it is in the manual, the primary DNS will be mandatory. -DNS LAN: It will work the same way as the WAN DNS, but only for IPv4. -NTP: If enabled, you will need to select one of the options, and the save button will be disabled until a selection is made. When selecting, a mandatory text field will be opened to fill both NTPs. You can select both NTPs.
  • Regulatory Domain: At the moment, only the "Brazil" option will be available.
  • Bind Layer: It will come with all filled LAN ports, but it is possible to unselect any selection if necessary.
  • Save.
By clicking More information on the notice, the templates for which some parameters may not be supported will be displayed, symbolized by the icon .

Operation of Preconfiguration ​

To maintain a standardized network, to have more agility in new device notes and minimize human errors, it is possible to configure some parameters to be sent every time a new device reaches the ACS. Thus, every time the ACS detects a new device, the list of parameters configured for the device will be sent, and if it is compatible, it will be applied. If a field is not configured, what is set by default on the device will be applied.

Tip!

It is possible to verify the compatibility of each model by accessing the option of more information, below the settings per period. All models will be shown and by clicking on dropdown it is possible to view all parameters, which is compatible and which is not, having the possibility of the provider contacting us to request an analysis (where we validate if the parameter has protocol support) to map the parameter and make available.

Filter Application

You can filter by period to identify the dates when IPv6 was activated on a device, and also sort by date to check how many devices were configured.

Use Cases ​

  1. Initial configuration of new devices
  2. Mass update of network settings
  3. Security standards on devices Wi-Fi

Main Features ​

  1. Automatic multi-device configuration
  2. Customization of network parameters
  3. Centralised configuration management

Final considerations ​

Automatic provisioning configuration is a powerful tool to optimize network management. Be sure to regularly review the settings and adjust them as needed to maintain network efficiency and security.

If there is no registered configuration, the parameters defined by the provider will be sent in the act of pointing the device to the ACS.
