Self Hosted ACS Installation

ACS-SI is our Centralised Management platform for managing DrayTek routers, firewalls, and Access Points. It provides system administrators with real-time monitoring, instant or scheduled configuration roll outs, and reporting capabilities. ACS supports TR-069 protocol which is supported on all current DrayTek models.

A 30-day fully functional free trial version of ACS-SI software is available to qualifying partners or enterprises. ACS-SI is available for Windows (desktop or server OS) or Linux platforms. A fixed public IP address and reliable always-on Internet connection is recommended. You can install your ACS-SI server on your own server, in a data centre, or choose our hosted service. This article goes through the process of installing ACS on your own self hosted server

These options can be left as default

Check this option is you wish to send usage information to Mariadb
