Cisco’s IoT Operations Dashboard (IoT OD) provides cloud-based management for IoT routers, network devices, and more. Configuration of the managed devices is based on templates that are designed to be easy to use, without significant experience required with theCisco IOS command line enviorment that is traditionally used for configuration and management.
A set of eCVD templates (Cisco Validated Design) templates can be leveraged to configure IR1101 routers (network devices). The IR1101 series routers (network devices) have one integrated template that can fit the requirements for each network device as well as a specialized Roadways template for the Transportation industry. For more information and to download the templates, go to the eCVD repository.
These eCVD templates are designed, developed, and validated by Cisco to provide the most-used features. When added to the IoT OD, they provide a form-based user interface that enables you to get your IoT deployments up and running. You can also modify the eCVD templates to create more custom templates. IR1101 devices also support Dual LTE (2 SIM cards).
Note: The UPT variable changed from 1.20 to 1.21 and device properties have enhanced search capability.
IR1101 network device Dual LTE functionality provides a wider range of supported configuration options. The following two scenarios show dual LTE functionality.
See Dual LTE Support for more information on IR1101 devices.
The tables and images shown below describe the settings used in the IR1101 eCVD template.
