Configuring Settings¶

Go to the Settings page by clicking Settings on the left menu to configure device types, device credentials, server settings, log settings, provisioning configuration, network settings, number of parallel firmware upgrades, timeouts, and retries.

Device¶

Select the type of devices to use with Lantronix Provisioning Manager.

Setting	Description
Device Type	Choose All Devices, IOT Gateways, or REM Devices (Remote Environment Management Devices).

Credentials File¶

Click the edit button to select a credentials file; this is a .CSV or .TDI file containing device credentials.

Click Save or press Enter to save the settings.

See Important Information on Device Credentials for more information.

.CSV credentials file contents

The first line of the .CSV credentials file should be macaddress,serialnumber,deviceid,username,password. Each subsequent line should follow the pattern with one device per line.

The MAC address must be supplied for each device in the file.

For example:

macaddress,serialnumber,deviceid,username,password
00:80:a3:a5:4b:14,0080A3A54B14,,admin,PASS
00:80:a3:a5:42:5c,0080A3A5425c,00204AKW08AH60EOZZ3S21G3ZRS0Y3EJ,,
00:80:a3:c3:07:8e,0080A3C3078E,00204A839PQHG5CW5O53JNACT9RLMZY9,sysadmin,PASS

Lantronix Provisioning Manager will attempt to log in to each device in the .CSV file as follows:

• LPM will attempt to log in using the provided username and password.
• If username or password is not provided, LPM will attempt to log in using the last 8 characters of the deviceid as the password.
• If login using the provided username and password fails, LPM will use the last 8 characters of the deviceid as the password.

.TDI credentials file contents

The first line of the .TDI file should be the version number. The second line should be serial_num,device_id,device_key,device_name,device_description. Each subsequent line should follow the pattern with one device per line.

For example:

version:2
serial_num,device_id,device_key,device_name,device_description
0080A3A5425C,00204AKW08AH60EOZZ3S21G3XFS0Y3ET,,EDS-MD8,Lantronix EDS-MD8
0080A3C3078E,00204A839PGHQ5CW5O53JNACTC4NVWEO,,SLC8000_078e,SLC8000 Advanced Console Manager

Lantronix Provisioning Manager will attempt to log in to each device in the .TDI file using the last 8 characters of the device_id as the password.

Global Credentials¶

Click the edit button to configure the Global Credentials and specify the credentials Lantronix Provisioning Manager uses to authenticate all devices. If this is left blank and a device isn't listed in the credentials file, Lantronix Provisioning Manager will attempt to use that device's default credentials. See Important Information on Device Credentials for more information. Click Save or press Enter to save the settings.

Setting	Description
Username	This is the username used to authenticate the devices.
Password	This is the password used to authenticate the devices.

Server Settings¶

Click the edit button to configure the SFTP/FTP server settings for downloading and transferring configuration and firmware files to REM devices. You can configure Lantronix Provisioning Manager to use an external SFTP server, an external FTP server, or allow LPM to function as an SFTP server to download the files.

Setting	Description
Server Type	Select either SFTP or FTP. If you select SFTP, you can use either an external SFTP server, or allow Lantronix Provisioning Manager to act as the SFTP server. If you select FTP, you must use an external FTP server. For the external server options, complete the server address, username, password, and path fields as required.
Built-In Server	When this is checked, Lantronix Provisioning Manager acts as an SFTP server. This allows you to browse for configuration and firmware files on your local computer to send to devices. If this option is selected, you do not need to configure any other fields such as the server address. Click Save.
Server IP Address	Enter the IP address of the SFTP/FTP server.
Username	Enter the user name used to authenticate to the SFTP/FTP server.
Password	Enter the password used to authenticate to the SFTP/FTP server.
Path	Enter the path to a folder on the server in which the firmware and configuration files are stored. This field is only used when Built-In Server is unchecked.
Sudo Password	Enter the sudo password required in macOS or Linux. This option is required if you selected the external SFTP/FTP option.

Log¶

Configure Log Settings to choose the log's level of detail.

Setting	Description
Log Level	Choices are Info and Debug. Choose Debug to see additional information.

Provisioning Configuration¶

Click the edit button to specify the ConsoleFlow server settings. Click Save or press Enter to save the settings.

Setting	Description
Central Management Server Hostname	This is the hostname of the ConsoleFlow server and is consoleflow.com by default.
Project Admin Credentials	This is the username and password used to log in to the Project Admin portal to import a device into a ConsoleFlow project.
Tenant Admin Credentials	This is the username, password, portal, and organization used to log in to ConsoleFlow with a tenant admin or ConsoleFlow admin account. ConsoleFlow admins should provide their credentials here.
Provision Type	This is the ConsoleFlow deployment model and can be cloud or on-premise.

Network Settings¶

Click the edit button to configure the IP Range to scan for devices. Use the Interface List to select the network interface Lantronix Provisioning Manager will use. Lantronix Provisioning Manager scans the current subnet on all network ports for devices and the specified IP ranges, if set. Larger ranges take longer to scan and could result in timeout. See Timeouts and Retries below to configure timeouts and retries. Click Save or press Enter to save the settings.

Setting	Description
Unicast IP Range	The range of unicast IP addresses that Lantronix Provisioning Manager will scan to detect devices. Please write each IP range as "start_range-end_range", with each range on its own line. You may find that copying and pasting the IP ranges is less prone to error than typing them into the field. The range should be on the last byte of the IP address. Example: 192.168.50.2-192.168.50.254
Interface List	This is the network interface used by Lantronix Provisioning Manager to scan for devices. An individual interface can be selected, or all interfaces can be selected.

Number of Parallel Firmware Upgrades¶

Click the edit button to configure the number of firmware upgrades to perform at the same time. Click Save or press Enter to save the setting.

Timeouts and Retries¶

Click the edit button next to each of the settings you wish to change. Configure the timeouts in seconds of Lantronix Provisioning Manager actions and the maximum number of retries. Click Save or press Enter to save the setting.

Setting	Description
Firmware Upload Timeout	Set the number of seconds to wait during a firmware upload before the operation is considered to have failed.
Discovery Timeout	Set the number of seconds to discover devices.
Connection Timeout	Set the number of seconds that the connection to a device should timeout. This excludes device discovery and firmware upload.
Operation Max Retries	Set the maximum number of times Lantronix Provisioning Manager will retry an operation.
