If terminal boots by network and fails to find it's individual configuration file on server, it stops to work, sends you notification that it's unconfigured and requires to create configuration file for this terminal.
You can change this behaviour. You can create default configuration file either for all the terminals or for the terminals from selected subnet. Create group for the terminals you need, then in terminals list find corresponding line and create default group configuration.
After that new terminal from this group automatically will be configured: it won't send you any notifications and will download the configuration you created.
Group is specified by subnet IP and mask. You create config from this group, i.e. for terminals from this subnet, and when new terminal boots and there's no configuration for it on server, then TFTP will download config for this group, default individual configuration file for all the new unconfigured terminals in selected subnet.
There are two ways to specify groups list:
Everyone
now you can find file default.wtc.
It's the file to specify needed groups by subnet. This file uses such syntax:
03 10.1.1.0/24 Remote offices
Firstly specify group number in 16-hexadecimal format — 03
. Possible numbers are from 01
to ff
.
Then configuration of the group 03
will be stored in folder FF.FF.FF.FF.FF.03
in Terminals
directory.
Then specify network parameters — IP and mask — 10.1.1.0/24
.
"Remote offices"
— name of group. Using this name you can find this group in
terminals' list in graphic configurator.
TFTP-server downloads this configuration as default individual configuration file for the terminals
in 10.1.1.0/24
subnet, that have no their own individual configuration file.
One more example:
0d 192.168.1.0/16 Lawyers subnet
Group for 192.168.1.0/16
subnet. Configuration is stored in FF.FF.FF.FF.FF.0d
directory. In configurator's terminals list you can find it named as "Lawyers subnet"
.
At the end of this file you may add group for all other terminals in network, not from listed
subnets. This group must be the only one. This group must be specified in the last line
in default.wtc
. All lines below this group will be ignored. Syntax for the all terminals group:
1f all My favourite ZOO
Terminal groups list
.
Here you may add new group:Here you may create default configuration file for your group:
Also there's group "All". You may create config for all terminals, that are not from subnets for specified groups.
Or you may create only one group "All"
, then any new unconfigured terminal, connecting to terminal server,
will download configuration for this "All"
group.
