2.4.12.1 Autoprovisioning
Enable
Autoprovisioning
Option
With autoprovisioning enabled, the board will get its configuration from a remote TFTP server on
startup or periodically on a scheduled delay. Autoprovisioned values will override values stored in
on-board memory and will be visible on the web page. The board gets its autoprovisioning
information from an XML-formatted file hosted from a TFTP server. CyberData will provide a
template for this XML file and the user can modify it for their own use.
To use autoprovisioning, create a copy of the autoprovisioning template with the desired settings
and name this file with the mac address of the device to configure (for example:
0020f7350058.config
). Put this file into your TFTP server directory and manually set the TFTP server
address on the board.
It is not necessary to set every option found in the autoprovisioning template. As long as the XML is
valid, the file can contain any subset. Options not autoprovisioned will default to the values stored
in the on board memory. For example if you only wanted to modify the device name, the following
would be a valid autoprovisioning file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<specific>
<MiscSettings>
<DeviceName>auto V2 Paging Server</DeviceName>
</MiscSettings>
</specific>
Networking
The board will only apply networking settings or firmware upgrades after a reboot.
Get
Autoprovisioning
from DHCP
When this option is checked, the device will automatically fetch its autoprovisioning server address
from the DHCP server. The device will use the address specified in
OPTION 150
(TFTP-server-
name) or
OPTION 66
. If both options are set, the device will use
OPTION 150
.
Refer to the documentation of your DHCP server for setting up
OPTION 150
.
