Inserted or changed with LCOS 8.50
In large-scale networking projects, administrators often have to install many devices of the same or similar type at different locations. To reduce or avoid the need to be personally present at the various locations, administrators often prepare the equipment at the central office for rollout. On location, an employee or a customer then runs a special wizard that sets the site-related parts of the configuration and puts the device into operation.
With a special instruction language, LCOS gives administrators the ability to define highly complex wizards. Custom wizards support the following functions:
- Definition of any internal variables
- Conditional branches
- Conditional goto instructions to any URL
- Conditional display of notices
- Runs all (non-interactive) actions that are available with the LCOS command line interface
- Read-out current values from the configuration in the devices
- Write new values to the configuration in the devices
- Status checks such as checking the time in the device
- Connection checks, e.g. the successful VPN connection to a specific remote site
In compliance with the rules of the instruction language, the administrator compiles a new Wizard in the form of a text file, which is then loaded into the device.The user on-site can run the custom wizard from WEBconfig by using the appropriate name.
