Management and Configuration

The RG6x4 is designed for high volume ADSL
access network deployment; this is reflected in
the Zero Touch Configurator (ZTC), whereby
no user intervention is required when installing
a

unit. ZTC is a distributed configuration system
based on the industry standard Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). ZTC
provides intelligent and automatic configuration
o

f remote RG units. It analyzes incoming status
information from each RG unit and dynamically
creates the appropriate configuration file or
operating system download as required, it then
selects the appropriate download mechanism
(e.g.TFTP, HTTP, HTTPS etc.) to complete the

of its DHCP lease timer. ZTC provides secure
authentication of client devices, resilience
through distributed server operation and in­built scalability for very large networks.

The RG6x4 also offers the following
conventional management and configuration
interfaces:

• Telnet (using Command Line Interface)

• SNMP v1/v2/v3
