preconfigure
Arrange settings early
To preconfigure is to set up or adjust settings in advance, before something is deployed or used.
Software and hardware often come preconfigured with default options: The laptop arrived preconfigured with the company's security settings.
Preconfiguration saves users from manual setup but may require adjustment for specific needs.
