Disable power factory reset for ePMP

Products ePMP
1

Hello, we keep having issues with some ePMP factory resetting after storms due to power issues. It's like the power cycles more than 5 times which factory resets ePMP according to the manual.

Is there a way to turn this function off so we don't keep losing customers whenever a storm rolls through and causes power grid issues? Thank you

Thanks guys! Easy enough to change in Maestro en mass.

So not as easy as I thought to change this setting en mass in Maestro Cloud.

We use it for monitoring now and one off changes per radio but I've never pushed a mass change to all units before. What's the best way to do this without affecting other settings?

I use cnOnsite, but I'd assume it's the same on the Cloud.  I just have a config template with the following code, that can be pushed out to all devices.

{
	"device_props":
	{
		"powerSequenceFactoryDefault":	"0"
	}
}

Hey Dan,

Thanks for that! So within Maestro, I should create a template with just that line of code and nothing else, then push it out and it won't change any other settings besides that?

That's correct.  However, I'd suggest testing it on a few devices before blasting all of them, just to make sure all works correctly.  :)

Otherwise, my favorite way of doing mass updates is with a script and SNMP.  Here's a simple bash script that will disable the factory reset option, save, and then apply the config.  You just call the script with one parameter, which is a file that contains a list of IP addresses of your devices.

while read p; do
 snmpset -r1 -t1 -v2c -cwritecommunity $p .1.3.6.1.4.1.17713.21.3.6.1.15.0 i 0
 snmpset -r1 -t1 -v2c -cwritecommunity $p .1.3.6.1.4.1.17713.21.4.3.0 i 1
 snmpset -r1 -t1 -v2c -cwritecommunity $p .1.3.6.1.4.1.17713.21.4.4.0 i 1
done <$1

Great script. You can also use nmap to buld the list of active IPs:

nmap -sn 10.1.1.0/24 | egrep "scan report" | awk '{print $5}' > ip.txt
