6. Implement solution
Use Javascript just as easy as ACLI to configure elements.
ACLI Javascript
network-interface device.NetworkInterface.InitData({
name M10 Name: "M10",
sub-port-id 505 SubPortId: „505", //VLAN Id
description ext_SME_VLAN IpAddress: "10.10.10.10",
ip-address 10.10.10.10 Description: " ext_SME_VLAN",
pri-utility-addr 10.10.10.11 UtilityAddress: "10.10.10.11",
sec-utility-addr 10.10.10.12 SecondUtilityAddress: "10.10.10.12",
netmask 255.255.255.240 Netmask: „255.255.255.240",
gateway 10.10.10.1 Gateway: "10.10.10.1",
dns-timeout 11 HipIpList: [{ Ip: "10.10.10.10" }],
hip-ip-list 10.10.10.10 }).Save();

7. Implement solution
Manage device configuration, and //Session management
ACME.Session.Login("user","pwd");
business model defined //Device management
configurations. var device = ACME.Session.Device("myDevice");
device.LockAndLoad();
//Create config element. Set only parameters you need.
//Use default values for the rest of the configuration
device.NetworkInterface.InitData({
Name: "M10",
SubPortId: "300", //VLAN Id
IpAddress: "10.2.34.5", //Virtual access SBC IP for the enterprise
Description: "Enterprise XX",
UtilityAddress: "10.2.34.6",
SecondUtilityAddress: "10.2.34.7",
HipIpList: [{ Ip: "10.2.34.5" }],
IcmpIpList: [{ Ip: "10.2.34.5" }],
Netmask: "10.2.34.0",
Gateway: "10.2.34.1",
GatewaySec: "10.2.34.2"
}).Save();
//Device management
device.SaveAndActivate();
//Session management
ACME.Session.Logout();

8. Define templates
Define templates which will use different configuration data based on the
provisioning model
//Provisioning data
var RealmConfigData = { //Template data
Id: „E1L1”, var RealmConfigTemplate {
AddrPrefix: EnterpriseLocationPrefix, TrustLevel: "low",
AdditionalPrefixes : [ Prefix1, Prefix2], ErrMsgThreshold: "5",
HmrString : "38534523452" MaxMsgThreshold: "200",
}; MaxMsgThresholdUntrusted: "10"
};
//Mix your data with selected template in one line of code
Device.RealmConfig.InitData(jsonConcat(RealmConfigData, RealmConfigTemplate)).Save();

9. Add transactions
Use internal transactional model to Transactions.AddAction(
"NetworkInterface_Create",
easily rollback the whole batch of
command based on the business //Test
function (device, prm) {},
logic.
//Action
function (device, prm) {
Transactions help you determine device.NetworkInterface.InitData(prm).Save();
},
critical actions which must all
succeed in order to sucessfully end //Undo action, do this when something else fails
function (device, prm, backup) {
the provisioning process. device.NetworkInterface.InitData(prm).Delete();
}
);
