Default Rollout Wizard

Your device is supplied with a preconfigured Rollout Wizard, which allows you to retrieve a configuration from a LANCOM Large Scale Rollout & Management (LSR) server with just a few clicks. The Default Rollout Wizard runs if you have enabled the Rollout Wizard in LCOS but have not set up a customized Rollout Wizard.

The Default Rollout Wizard asks you for all the information that it needs to connect to the LSR. This includes:

The protocol used for the connection (HTTP or HTTPS);
The IP address or the DNS name of the LSR server;
The user name and password for authentication against the LSR;
The name or number of the rollout project;
The device ID (optional); and
The rollout TAN for the device.

Tip: This process can be partially or even fully automated if you enter the relevant information into the device permanently. The table for this is located in the Setup menu under HTTP > Rollout-Wizard > Presets. Standard presets are the port and the loopback address used by the Wizard.

Tip: If your device has a USB port, its automatic upload feature allows a USB stick to supply an unconfigured device with the basic information required by the Rollout Wizard. For more information about this function, see Automatic upload of firmware or configuration from USB.

Before the device starts processing the rollout, the wizard displays a summary of the connection data used. Also, the device uses an ICMP echo request (ping) to determine whether the specified server is available. If this test fails, you have the option to re-configure the wizard or to continue the rollout process anyway. The host is available, the device begins with the retrieval of a configuration from the LSR.

Important: If the LSR server can be accessed via the Internet, but you are running the Rollout Wizard on a device without an Internet connection, you must first execute the Internet Setup Wizard.
