Configuring Device Settings

Configure the applicable Operating System settings on your Quantum Spark Gateways.

These settings are available when you edit a Plan object (see Plans) and a Gateway object (see Gateways).

You can configure these settings in several ways:

  • Configure the settings in Quantum Spark Management in a Plan object.

    Settings in a Plan object apply to all Quantum Spark Gateways that use this Plan.

  • Configure the settings in Quantum Spark Management in a Gateway object (to override the settings in a Plan object).

  • Disable the Quantum Spark Management settings in a Gateway object and configure the local settings on the Quantum Spark Gateway.

NTP

These settings control the clock synchronization with NTP servers.

Time Zone

These settings control the time zone.

Scheduled Reboot

These settings control the schedule for rebooting the Quantum Spark Gateway:

DNS

These settings control the DNS servers.

Administrators

These settings control the local administrators.

Self-Serve Portal

Note - Requires the Quantum Spark Gateway to run the firmware R81.10.10 and higher.

This feature is intended for Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) to provide a basic Self-Serve Portal on Quantum Spark Gateways for end-users and reduce the operational overhead.

Personalization

Note - Requires the Quantum Spark Gateway to run the firmware R81.10.10 and higher.

These settings control:

  • The logo image for the Quantum Spark Gateway WebUI that appears:

    • On the login page.

    • In the top right corner.

  • The background color (the color theme) of the top section of the Quantum Spark Gateway WebUI.

  • The branding name (the title) for the Quantum Spark Gateway WebUI that appears:

    • On the login page.

Two-Factor Authentication

These settings control Two-Factor Authentication for all local administrators.

These settings control local users.

Local Network

These settings control the local network "pools" to manage local networks for specific interfaces.

Important:

  • This feature is available on Quantum Spark Gateways that run the firmware R81.10.10 or higher.

  • Networks configured in this section will be set as local networks on the Quantum Spark Gateway, and added to the Internal Network Topology.

  • The Quantum Spark 1600 / 1800 / 1900 / 2000 series must serve as the Center Gateway.

  • The Center Gateway must have a static IP address (in a cluster, a static Virtual IP address).

  • In a Plan, this configuration applies only to newly created Gateway objects that you assign to this plan.

Probing Settings

Note - Requires the Quantum Spark Gateway to run the firmware R81.10.10 / R81.10.15 and higher.

These settings control how the Quantum Spark Gateway probes its Internet connections to determine their quality.

You can see the probing results in Working with Logs and Events > on the Internet Monitoring tab.
