Primary Responder mode

You can use the Primary Responder mode configuration setting to manually enable the IX20 device to be in an AT&T FirstNet-compliant mode (Primary Responder mode). When a device is in Primary Responder mode, certain firmware features are disabled. See Differences between standard firmware operation and Primary Responder mode.

The Primary Responder mode configuration setting is available in the 23.9.x and newer firmware. This replaces the Primary Responder firmware that was available prior to the 23.9.x firmware release.

Primary Responder firmware prior to 23.9.x firmware release

You may have a device that has Primary Responder firmware prior to 23.9.x installed on it. When you update to 23.9, the device will change its device type to be a non-PR product. If you have a configuration template setup for your PR device running firmware older than 23.9.x, you will need to create a new configuration template after updating firmware on your device.

Disable Primary Responder Mode

If you enable Primary Responder mode and then disable it, the device's configuration is erased and the device will reboot. You will then need to reconfigure the device to the desired configuration.
