ONFIGURATION
As an alternative to configuring the VoIP gateway using the Web Interface (see
1
Chapter 5:
Web Management
), it can be configured by loading the
ini
file containing Customer-
configured parameters.
The
ini
file is loaded using the BootP/TFTP utility (see
1
Appendix D: The BootP/TFTP
Configuration
Utility) or using any standard TFTP server. It can also be loaded through the
Web Interface (see
Restoring and Backing up the Gateway Configuration
).
The
ini
file configuration parameters are stored in the gateway’s non-volatile memory after
the file is loaded. When a parameter is missing from the
ini
file, a default value is assigned to
that parameter (according to the
cmp
file loaded on the gateway) and stored in the non-
volatile memory (thereby overriding the value previously defined for that parameter).
Therefore, to restore the default configuration parameters, use the
ini
file without any valid
parameters or with a semicolon (;) preceding all lines in the file.
Some of the gateway’s parameters are configurable through the
ini
file only (and not using
the Web). These parameters usually determine a low-level functionality and are seldom
changed for a specific application.
Secured ini File
The
ini
file contains sensitive information that is required for the functioning of the gateway. It
is loaded to, or retrieved from, the device using TFTP or HTTP. These protocols are
unsecured and vulnerable to potential hackers. Therefore an encoded
ini
file significantly
reduces these threats.
You can choose to load an encoded
ini
file to the gateway. When you load an encoded
ini
file, the retrieved
ini
file is also encoded. Use the ‘TrunkPack Downloadable Conversion
Utility’ to encode or decode the
ini
file before you load it to, or retrieve it from, the device.
Note that the encoded
ini
file’s loading procedure is identical to the regular
ini
file’s loading
procedure. For information on encoding / decoding an
ini
file, see
Encoding / Decoding an ini
File
.
Modifying an ini File
To modify the
ini
file:
1
Get the
ini
file from the gateway using the Embedded Web Server (see
Restoring and
Backing up the Gateway Configuration
).
