Unattended Setup

This manual describes how to use the unattended setup of the IACBOX which allows installation of the system with pre-defined settings.

Preparation

There are 4 pre-defined profiles for the unattended installation included on the installation image.

  • 01_uas2nic_en.uas Installation with 2 network cards, english language
  • 02_uas2nic_de.uas Installation with 2 network cards, german language
  • 03_uas3nic_en.uas Installation with 3 network cards, english language
  • 04_uas4nic_de.uas Installation with 3 network cards, german language

When installing multiple systems with the same basic settings, create a custom unattended setup file. In order to get started simply copy one of the files (.uas) from above and perform the according changes with an advanced text editor. Please note that text editors like Windows NotePad can potentially break the line breaks. Use an editor that uses unix style line breaks \n such as Notepad++.

After opening the file with an according text editor all basic settings for this profile can be edited. Please note that the profile shown in the FT-Setup will be named after the file name, so it is suggested to use an easy to memorize filename. Also the file extension must be .uas in order for this profile to be recognized. After this is done the file can be copied directly on the USB stick.

Installation

By starting the installation from an USB stick, the new UAS profile can be found in the Unattended Setup menu.
