Cellular settings via incontrol

Product Discussion InControl
1

I’ve got a group of Pepwave devices which needs to have the same cellular settings.
For example: band, technology, APN-settings etc.

I can program this manually in all of them, and this is working.
But… it would be easier if I could setup this from incontrol.
If a new device is added to the group it will receive the correct settings automatically and connect directly.

Is there a way to push this from incontrol?
Or is this on the roadmap?

Hi…

Have you look at Bulk Configurator?
The Bulk Configurator will push the configuration file(s) onto the corresponding applicable devices. In addition, it will also individualize the following settings if applicable:

  • Wi-Fi AP SSID and Radio
  • SpeedFusion VPN
  • VLAN Networks *
  • Outbound Policy
  • Firewall Rules
  • Web Admin Settings
  • Device name *
  • Time zone

I don’t see settings about band, tech, APN, etc…
Maybe you need to to a feature request?

Hello Steyn,

Did you try using the router APIs? You can call them through incontrol. Still need to script it but it is easier than manually.

Otherwise you create a configurtion template that you push on the routers using ic2

Hi Steyn

We have a similar requirment and use the Bulk configurator to achiev what you want.

Here are the steps:

  1. Configure all the default settings you want locally on your router including the WAN settings.
  2. Save the configuration to a file on your PC
  3. in IC2 go to bulk configuration and create a new Bulk configuration profile and upload the file (i always use tags to apply this to a device)
  4. Apply the tag to all devices that require your cellular settings.

Note that you can leave the Bulk config tag assigned to devices and any other tags that you apply eg Outbound policy will take precedence over the Bulk config settings.

Hope that helps.
