Site Configuration

You can manage configurations of devices by customizing configuration templates and classifying them by site, in other word, Site ID.

Topics include:

The Strategy of Site Configuration

A site must have a parent site, except a root site. It can have a child site. There is always a root site by default in HDMS, like test-R in the below figure. Site B is a child site of site A. and site A is a child site of test-R(root site).

Devices will get the configuration file after auto provisioning. The final configuration file, sent to devices, is overwritten site by site. The configuration template of a child site will overwrite that from its parent.

e.g. Assume Site B is a child site of A. and site A is a child site of test-R. And all of them have updated their own configuration templates. Like the workflow below, the template from Site B will overwrite the temporary cfg{MAC}.xml, which has updated by Site A, in step 4.

On the Page of Site Configuration
