Repeated registration of CPE devices
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:
- Creating a CPE template
Create a CPE template. You can use the created CPE template to configure other devices. This step is optional if already have a CPE template.
- Connecting the CPE device to the orchestrator
Restart the CPE device to make it connect to the orchestrator. If the connection is successful, the CPE device is displayed in the orchestrator web interface with the Unknown status.
- Registering the CPE device
Manually register the CPE device. During registration, assign a previously created template to the CPE device and select whether the device must be automatically enabled after registration. A registered device has the Registered status and is in the Activated or Deactivated state.
- Enabling the CPE device
If, when manually registering the CPE device, you specified that it must not be enabled automatically, turn on the device. An enabled CPE device has the Registered status and is in the Activated state. This step is optional.
