Group configuration with LANconfig
197
The partial configuration files with the common parameters for a group of
BAT devices are, just like the full configuration files, stored on hard disk or on
a server. To aid the configuration of entire groups of devices, links to the par-
tial configuration files are created under LANconfig to provide a convenient
connection between the device entries in LANconfig and these partial config-
uration files.
Note: Group configuration is supported only by BAT devices with a firmware
version LCOS 5.00 or higher.
LCOS version 5.00 initially support the group configuration of WLAN
devices. Later firmware versions will also support further types of
group configuration, such as the VPN parameters. Refer to the BAT
web site www.hirschmann.com
for more information about the latest
firmware versions and the additional possibilities of group configura-
tion.
