V6100 and V7122 User Guide
See the following notes:
ƒ
When TFTP is used, the files are immediately loaded. When HTTP or HTTPS are used,
the gateway contacts the Web server/s and queries for the requested files. The
ini file is
loaded only if it was modified since the last automatic update. The cmp file is loaded only
if its version is different from the version stored on the gateway’s non-volatile memory. All
other auxiliary files (e.g., CPT) are updated only once. To update a previously-loaded
auxiliary file, you must update the parameter containing its URL.
ƒ
To load different configurations ( ini files) for specific gateways, add the string ‘<MAC>’ to
the URL. This mnemonic is replaced with the V7122 hardware MAC address. Resulting
in an
ini file name request that contains the gateway’s MAC address.
ƒ
To automatically update the cmp file, use the parameter ‘CmpFileURL’ to specify its
name and location. As a precaution (in order to protect the V7122 from an accidental
update) the Automatic Update mechanism doesn’t apply to the
cmp file by default.
Therefore, (to enable it) set the parameter ‘AutoUpdateCmpFile’ to 1.
The following example illustrates how to utilize Automatic Updates for deploying devices with
minimum manual configuration.
To utilize Automatic Updates for deploying the V7122 with minimum manual configuration:
3
Set up a Web server (in the following example it is http://www.corp.com / ) where all
configuration files are to be stored.
4 To each device, pre-configure the following parameter (DHCP / DNS are assumed):
IniFileURL = 'http://www.corp.com/master_configuration.ini'
5 Create a file named master_configuration.ini , with the following text:
# Common configuration for all devices
# ------------------------------------
CptFileURL = 'http://www.corp.com/call_progress.dat'
# Check for updates every 60 minutes
AutoUpdateFrequency = 60
# Additional configuration per device
# -----------------------------------
# Each device loads a file named after its MAC address,
# (e.g., config_00908F033512.ini)
IniFileURL = 'http://www.corp.com/config_<MAC>.ini'
# Reset the device after configuration is updated.
# The device resets after all of the files are processed.
ResetNow = 1
