5.3.9.5 Using MTAC Accounts and WebGen (Automatic) to Enable Software Upgrades
The automatic interface is an automated way to simulate logging into the WebGen server, filling out and submitting forms to
generate passwords, extracting results from the HTML returned by the server, and then logging out. Like the manual method,
this is for AT devices only.
The WebGen interface is brought up as part of the Software Configuration. In the Software Configuration panel (Figure 5-40),
The Manage WebGen Passwords button brings up the Manage WebGen Passwords Wizard for the selected devices. The wiz-
ard has these panels, which are explained below:
1. Manage MTAC Accounts
2. Select Devices and releases for password generation
3. Passwords will be generated for the following devices
1. Wizard Panel - Manage MTAC accounts
The Manage MTAC Accounts panel is used to add/modify/delete MTAC account information. Refer to Figure 5-44.
FIGURE 5-44 MTAC Wizard - First Panel
The table displays the MTAC id, the MTAC type, and its current status. The MTAC id is provided by an ATI distributor or
reseller. Before the NMS can use the MTAC, the customer has to log into the account with a web browser, create a password,
and initialize the account (by entering the required contact information).
An MTAC can be one of 9 types, depending on the type of device for which it can be used to generate passwords:
1. AT-AR-7/400 for AT-AR700 series devices
