Patton Webinar Q&A

1. How does the Teams vrs software license work? Is it separate?

 No, there’s only one Teams license. You only need to buy one license for both.

2. How does the zero-touch provisioning work? Doesn’t someone have to touch the box to plug it in and connect cables?

Yes the physical cable must be connected by someone, but everything can be done remotely. “Zero touch” means no service provider or integrator needs to do the configuration. All you need to do is to connect the box, and turn the power on.
