Actually, I was interested in how you¹re doing that. In the ACS we have (CPH) there are still issues related to ³what settings to push down to a device on a factory reset.² The product has evolved to just pushing down WiFi, Port Forwards, and PPP, but those are configured on a per-provider basisŠwith the caveat that if the settings in the ACS are old, the settings on the device will be old. For PPP creds it¹s not a big deal since those aren¹t user-changeable usually.
If anyone¹s used another ACS, it¹d be interesting to hear how they handle the factory default case. You¹re right, there¹s no reason to push everything. -- Manny Veloso Sr. Solutions Engineer Smartrg.com On 2/3/15, 4:04 PM, "Zaid Abdulla" <[email protected]> wrote: >On Tue, Feb 3, 2015, at 11:21 PM, Manny Veloso wrote: >> Well actually, it depends.
