Zero Touch Configurator
Why Zero Touch Configurator?
Wide Area Networks consist of many
components (hubs, switches, routers, residential
gateways, set-top boxes, etc) that need to be
configured.The amount of operational and
maintenance work can be very high. Moreover,
these components are often difficult to get at
and the intervention activity can be very
expensive. Zero Touch Configurator (ZTC) is a
framework that enables the network
components to be remotely configured.

ZTC consists of different parts: the Client and
the Server.The ZTC Client is embedded in the
CPE firmware.The ZTC Server manages the
configuration data for the network devices.

Basically, it supports all devices that have a ZTC
Embedded Client implementation available. Its
main purposes are:
•
Device configuration
•
Firmware release update
•
Events logging
The client periodically asks the ZTC Embedded
Server for a newer configuration (configuration
pull). When a new configuration for the device
is available, the client downloads and executes it.
All the connections made by the device are
outbound.This implies that no listening service
has to be started on the device.This minimizes
security issues related to accepting inbound
connections.

Scalability
ZTC can run on a simple PC, but is also able to
take advantage of a multi-processor
environment.The distributed nature of the
application enables it to run in a clustered
environment or in a server farm.
