Mode
Provisioning Mode
Provisioning allows installers to pre-configure the 8301 units prior to installation on a network. It is typically used for
large deployments to save time and ensure consistent setups.
Settings
Server Method
The device can be provisioned via the Auto mode (where all three DHCP options (Option 66/160/150) will be
automatically checked for an active provisioning server), just one of the three specified DHCP options, or a Static
Server. In addition, there are four different ways to download provisioning files from a “Provisioning Server”: TFTP
(Trivial File Transfer Protocol), FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS.
Static Server
Enter the server address or domain.
Download Method
The 8301 configuration files can be automatically downloaded from a TFTP server using DHCP Option 66. This option
code (when set) supplies a TFTP boot server address to the DHCP client to boot from.
Important
DHCP must be enabled if using DHCP Option 66/160/150, in order for Provisioning to work.
One of two files can be uploaded on the Provisioning Server (for access via TFTP, FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS):
• Generic (for all Algo 8301 IP Paging Adapter & Scheduler) algop8301.conf
• Specific (for a specific MAC address) algom[MAC].conf
Both protocol and path are supported for Option 66, allowing for http://myserver.com/config-path to be used.
Config Download Path
Enter the path where the configuration file Is located within the provisioning server (e.g. algo/config/8301).
Firmware Download Path
Enter the path where the firmware file Is located within the provisioning server (e.g. algo/firmware/8301).
Partial Provisioning
Allow support for “-i” incremental provisioning files. Disable for enhanced security if not using this feature.
