Scenario: Re-registering a CPE device

If you delete a CPE device, the basic settings are kept on it. Such a CPE device can be re-registered without using the basic settings URL.

When re-registering a CPE device, you cannot use two-factor authentication. If you want to use two-factor authentication, automatically register the CPE device.

The CPE device re-registration scenario involves the following steps:

1. Restoring the CPE device firmware to the initial condition

   Restore the CPE device firmware to the initial condition:

   1. Connect to the CPE device over SSH. To connect over SSH, specify the IP address and enter the credentials of the CPE device.
   2. Run the following command:

      firstboot && reboot

2. Creating a CPE template

   Create and configure a CPE template. For a description of CPE template tabs, see the Managing CPE templates section. You can use the created CPE template to configure other CPE devices.

3. Connecting the CPE device to the orchestrator

   Disconnect and reconnect the CPE device power cable to have the CPE device reset and connect to the orchestrator. If the connection is successful, the CPE device is displayed in the orchestrator web interface with the Unknown status.

4. Manually registering a CPE device

   Manually register the CPE device. When manually registering the CPE device, assign the created CPE template to it and select whether the CPE device must automatically turn on after registration. A registered device has the Registered status and is in the Enabled or Disabled state. For a description of CPE device tabs, see the Managing CPE devices section.

5. Enabling the CPE device

   If, when manually registering the CPE device, you specified that it must not be enabled automatically, turn on the CPE device. An enabled CPE device has the Registered status and is in the Enabled state. This step is optional.
