Batch Configuration Using a Template

Data Preparation

• The PC is properly connected to the network of the Atlas 500 AI edge station to be operated.
• You have obtained the SNs or MAC addresses of all Atlas 500 AI edge stations.
• You have planned the IP addresses, subnet masks, and partitions of the Atlas 500 AI edge station NICs

Procedure

1. On the SmartKit home page, choose Server > Site Deployment Delivery > More.
2. Choose IES Configuration. The wizard page is displayed.
3. Click IES Configuration. The IES Config page is displayed, as shown in Figure 2-6.
   Figure 2-6 IES Configuration
   

4. Click Download Template to download the Atlas 500 AI edge station configuration template IES_Configxxx to the local PC.

   Open the Excel configuration file and read the value description and configuration methods of the configuration items on the Configuration instructions sheet and other sheets.

5. Click the Initial Configuration tab and change the initial IP address, user name, and password of the Atlas 500 AI edge station. Table 2-5 lists the parameters.
   This IP address can be used to log in to the Atlas IES WebUI.

   If the IP address has been changed, you can use the IP address to discover devices and configure a new IP address.

   Username	Username of the current user.
   Password	Current login password.
   Root Password	Password for the root user
   Account Information
   New Username	This parameter is used to change the user name of an account and is executed after the initial configuration task is complete. (If only the user name needs to be changed, the password can be left blank.)
   New Password	This parameter is used to change the password of an account and is executed after the initial configuration task is complete. (If only the password needs to be changed, the user name can be left blank.)

   Node ID	The node ID is used to connect to the FusionDirector NMS. By default, the node ID does not need to be changed. In the spare part replacement scenario, you need to change the node ID. The earlier versions (2.0.*/2.1.*/2.2.*) do not support the node ID configuration.
   Wired Network Configuration
   NIC Name	Device NIC name. The value can only be eth0 or eth1.
   IP Address to Be Configured	This parameter is mandatory when you need to add or modify an IP address.
   New IP Address	This parameter is used only to change the IP address.
   Subnet Mask	Subnet mask of the IP address.
   Default Gateway	Default gateway of the IP address.
   VLAN ID	Value range: 1–4089
   Function	Usage of the IP address. The value contains 1 to 32 characters, including letters, digits, and underscores (_).
   Operation	Select Add, Modify, or Delete.
   Drive-Partition Creation
   Drive Letter	Location of the drive.
   Partition Name	Name of the partition to be created, for example, mmcblk0p1.
   Mount Path	Mount directory of the partition. This parameter is mandatory only when Operation is set to Mount.
