Custom settings configuration

To customize the settings of a Guardian Air device, you can load a configuration file from a FAT32-formatted USB drive. Supported parameters include static IP address, gateway, DNS, proxy servers, and NTP servers for time synchronization.

Overview

Within certain limitations, it is possible to customize the configuration of a Guardian Air device. To do this, you must copy a configuration file to a FAT32-formatted universal serial bus (USB) pendrive. Then, before you power-on the device, you must connect the USB pendrive to one of the USB ports on the device.

The only available section is network which, as its name suggests, includes configuration parameters related to networking. For example:
[network]
address=172.16.4.195/26
gateway=172.16.4.193
dns=172.16.4.193
http_proxy=http://10.41.48.40:3128
https_proxy=http://10.41.48.40:3128
ntp_servers=time.google.com,time.aws.com,time.cloudflare.com 

Parameters

address: a valid classless inter-domain routing (CIDR) Internet Protocol version 4 address that represents the static internet protocol (IP) address to be assigned to the network interface associated to the management Ethernet port

gateway: a valid IPv4 address that represents the gateway to be assigned to the network interface associated to the management Ethernet port

dns: a valid IPv4 address that represents the domain name server (DNS) server to be used by the network interface associated to the management Ethernet port

http_proxy: a valid uniform resource locator (URL) that represents the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) proxy server to be used by all the running applications that need to communicate with cloud services

https_proxy: a valid URL that represents the hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS) proxy server to be used by all the running applications that need to communicate with cloud services

ntp_servers: a comma-separated list of valid hostnames, compliant with RFC 1123, or IPv4 addresses, that represent network time protocol (NTP) servers to be used for time synchronization
