Features

The Cisco Provider Connectivity Assurance Module Dock (formerly Skylight module dock) is a quick and
clientless way to pre-stage both the Cisco Provider Connectivity Assurance Sensor SFP (formerly Skylight
sensor: SFP compute) and Cisco Provider Connectivity Assurance Sensor Modules (formerly Skylight sensor:
module). Certain network topologies and operational workflows may favor preconfiguring modules such as
the Sensor SFP and Sensor Modules to facilitate the discovery and control by the Cisco Provider Connectivity
Assurance (formerly Accedian Skylight) Performance Platform. The Module Dock is a USB-powered
configuration tool that connects to modules through its RJ45 or SFP port. Upon connection, the Module Dock
uses secure authentication to ensure that only genuine Module Docks can communicate with the module.
Once the necessary security keys have been exchanged, module configuration and firmware can be updated.
