7.8 Provisioning the iMG/RG (Application Manager)
7.8.1 Overview
Caution: If AlliedView NMS users are accessing applications via an IP route that includes Network Address Translation (NAT), certain
AlliedView NMS modules may not work correctly as the server may send information to the clients over different ports than
those initiated by the clients. Users should therefore set up a FE on the back side of the NAT or remove the NAT process to
prevent this.
As described in 5.3, the Provisioning Application for Allied Telesis devices allows the administrator to control software
related tasks (backup/restore, command scripting, SNMP, file management, etc.).This same provisioning GUI can be used for
the iMGs/RGs as follows:
• The tasks available are Device Backup/Restore, Device Configuration, and Software Configuration
• The GUI has a device type selection button, NETWORK and CPE, that allows the administrator to choose one type of
device or another. This allows the administrator to focus on only one type of device at a time, an important capability
since there may be thousands of iMG/RGs and a much smaller number of Allied Telesis devices.
