Performing a Rapid Deployment

You must perform the following procedure on each Safe@Office appliance you want to deploy.

To perform a rapid deployment

1. Reset the Safe@Office appliance to its default settings.

   See Resetting the Safe@Office Appliance to Defaults.

2. Disconnect the Safe@Office appliance from its power adapter.
3. Insert the USB flash drive into the appliance’s USB port.

   For information on locating the USB ports, see Introduction.

4. Reconnect the Embedded NGX appliance to its power adapter.

   The following things happen:

   • The PWR/SEC LED flashes quickly in green, signaling that rapid deployment is in progress.
   • The file results-<MACAddress>.log is created in the USB flash drive's root folder, where <MACAddress> is the appliance's MAC address.
   • If the deploy folder exists, the appliance loads shared settings from it. The appliance then loads its private settings from the folder named after its MAC address.

     Note: If the appliance loads an updated firmware file, the appliance restarts and then continues the rapid deployment process. Do not disconnect the USB flash drive until the process is complete.

   • If an error occurs during the rapid deployment process, the PWR/SEC LED blinks quickly in red, the errors are logged to the Event Log, and rapid deployment continues.
   • When rapid deployment is complete, the PWR/SEC LED is a constant green.
5. To check the results of rapid deployment, in the USB flash drive's root folder, open the file results-<MACAddress>.log.

   Settings that loaded successfully are marked as "ok", and settings that failed to load are marked as "failed".
