Managing Regions

Avalanche uses regions to organize servers and folders. Each Avalanche device server is associated with exactly one region. Regions are organized in the Navigation Tree on the left of the Console and are indicated by flag icons. When a region is selected, the devices or profiles associated with any folders in the region are displayed in the main area of the console, depending on which tab is selected. When you apply profiles to a region, the Avalanche Console applies the configurations to every server and device within that region.

Creating a region

Create a region for each server you want to manage beyond the default mobile device server and smart device server.

1.Use the Navigation Tree to navigate to the location where you want to create the new region.

2.Click the New Region icon at the top of the Navigation Tree.
The New Region page appears.

3.Type a name for the new region in the text box.

4.Click Save.
The Region appears in the selected location.

Deploying a region

When you create or edit a region, the changes you make are not immediately sent out to the network. Instead, you can schedule specific times for your changes to be deployed. This allows you to deploy changes during periods of low network activity to avoid workday interruptions. The Needs Deployment button will appear in the top right corner of the console any time you make a change that requires a deployment.

1.In the Navigation Tree, click on the region you want to deploy.

2.Click the View icon at the top of the Navigation Tree.

3.Click the Needs Deployment button in the upper right corner of the console.

4.Select Deploy Now.

Select Deploy Later and enter a date and time for the deployment.
