The custom Rollout Wizard is a programmable setup wizard in WEBconfig, which allows administrators performing a rollout to implement a configuration wizard that customers or other (restricted) administrators can operate. To do this, you use a special description language that can be used to define very complex wizards.
Custom wizards support the following features:
- 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 device
- Write new values to the configuration in the device
- Status checks such as checking the time in the device
- Connection checks, e.g. the successful VPN connection to a specific remote site
Observing the rules of the description language, you create the new wizard in the form of a text file, which you then load into the device. The user on-site can run the custom wizard from WEBconfig by using the appropriate name.
Note: You can restrict certain administrator accounts to be available specifically under the Rollout Wizard only, allowing even inexperienced users to configure certain functions without allowing access to the complete configuration.
