Device Requirements
WeConfig is designed for Westermo devices with WeOS version 4.28 or later, WeOS version 5.15 or later, and devices in the Ibex and MRD families. WeConfig will however find and try to display some information about other types of devices too. Earlier WeOS versions might have functional features, but they are however not supported.
For ideal compatability with WeConfig, devices should ensure that the following services are configured, if available:
| Functionality | Description | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| IPConfig | A Westermo specific protocol available on WeOS 4 | Used for discovery of WeOS 4 devices, as well as configuration of factory defaulted WeOS 4 devices prior to WeOS 4.33 |
| HTTPS | Standard web protocol | WeConfig must be provided with relevant credentials via the Device Access interface. Used for backup, restore, firmware, and bootloader upgrade. |
| SNMP | Simple Network Management Protocol | WeConfig must be provided with relevant credentials via the Device Access interface. For full trap-reception functionality, MS Windows Trap Host server needs to be disabled. WeConfig has its own built-in trap host server. Used for diagnostics and discovery, primarily |
| LLDP | Link Local Discovery Protocol | Used by WeConfig to establish the network topology map, as well as a means of recursive discovery |
| SSH | Secure Shell | Used by WeConfig for nearly all forms of configuration as well as diagnostics and discovery |
When launching interactive SSH sessions to the devices (e.g., via context menu), WeConfig will start Windows built-in SSH client command in a terminal window. If it has not been installed as part of Windows, please do so in Windows's own Optional Features.
