Notes:
•
For a list and description of the ini file parameters, see 'Configuration
Parameters Reference' on page 643 .
•
Some parameters are configurable only through the ini file (and not the
Web interface).
•
To restore the device to default settings using the ini file, see 'Restoring
Factory Defaults' on page 553 .
8.3 Modifying an ini File
You can modify an ini file currently used by the device. Modifying an ini file instead of
loading an entirely new ini file preserves the device's current configuration.

To modify an ini file:
1. Save the device's configuration as an ini file on your computer, using the Web
interface (see 'Loading an ini File' on page 101 ).
2. Open the ini file using a text file editor such as Notepad, and then modify the ini file
parameters as required.
3. Save the modified ini file, and then close the file.
4. Load the modified ini file to the device (see 'Loading an ini File' on page 101 ).
Tip: Before loading the ini file to the device, verify that the file extension of the file
is .ini .
8.4 Secured Encoded ini File
The ini file contains sensitive information that is required for the functioning of the device.
The file may be loaded to the device using TFTP or HTTP. These protocols are not secure
and are vulnerable to potential hackers. To overcome this security threat, the AudioCodes
DConvert utility allows you to binary-encode (encrypt) the
ini file before loading it to the
device. For more information, refer to DConvert Utility User's Guide .
Notes:
•
The procedure for loading an encoded ini file is identical to the procedure
for loading an unencoded ini file (see 'Loading an ini File' on page 101 ).
•
If you download from the device (to a folder on your computer) an ini file
that was loaded encoded to the device, the file is saved as a regular ini
file (i.e., unencoded).
