7.3 Device configuration with PRESET-PLUG
The PRESET PLUG is write-protected.
You configure the PRESET PLUG using the Command Line Interface (CLI).
Creating a PRESET-PLUG
You create the PRESET PLUG using the Command Line Interface (CLI). You can create a
PRESET-PLUG from any PLUG. To do this, follow the steps outlined below:
Note
Using configurations with DHCP
Create a PRESET-PLUG only from device configurations that use DHCP. Otherwise
disruptions will occur in network operation due to multiple identical IP addresses.
You assign fixed IP addresses extra following the basic installation.
Requirement
● A CLP on which you want to configure the PRESET-PLUG functionality is inserted in the
device.
Procedure
1. Start the remote configuration using Telnet (CLI) and log on with a user with the "admin" role.
2. Switch to the global configuration mode with the command "configure terminal".
3. You change to the PLUG configuration mode with the "plug" command.
4. Create the PRESET-PLUG with the "presetplug" command.
The firmware version of the device and the current device configuration incl. user accounts
and certificates are stored on the PLUG and the PLUG is then write protected.
5. Turn off the power to the device.
6. Remove the PRESET-PLUG.
7. Start the device either with a new CLP inserted or with the internal configuration.
Procedure for installation with the aid of the PRESET-PLUG
1. Turn off the power to the device.
2. If it is inserted, remove the CLP from the slot. You will find further information on this in the
operating instructions of your device.
3. Insert the PRESET-PLUG correctly oriented into the slot. The PRESET-PLUG is correctly
inserted when it is completely inside the device and does not jut out of the slot.
4. Turn on the power to the device again.
If there is a different firmware version on the device to be installed compared with that on the
PRESET-PLUG, an upgrade/downgrade of the firmware is performed. You can recognize
this by the red F-LED flashing (flashing interval: 2 sec on/0.2 sec off). Afterwards the device
is restarted and the device configuration incl. users and certificates on the PRESET-PLUG
is transferred to the device.
