CONFIGURATION AND ONGOING MANAGEMENT
Full centralized configuration Dramatically simplifies large deployments
Configuration templates Enable quick replication to dozens or hundreds of WXC Series platforms
Reuse deployed configurations Helps in rapid deployment of new WXC Series platforms
View and compare configurations Allows line-by-line comparison to highlight dierences
Track configuration changes Simplifies troubleshooting
Device configuration publishing Provides access control for distinct WXC Series configurations to a single user group or multiple
user groups
Automated deployment Requires remote site to provide only power, Ethernet, and DHCP
Device soware upgrades Enables quick and easy roll out of new features to full deployment
Content distribution Allows IT to selectively pre-populate distributed WXC Series dictionaries with large files to make
them locally available to remote and branch-oce users
Scheduling of tasks Supported on a one-time or recurring basis for tasks such as soware updates, configuration
changes, and configuration backups and diagnostics
