SIP User's Manual 4. INI File Configuration
4.2.3 Format of ini File Table Parameters
The ini file table parameters allow you to configure configuration tables. These tables can
include multiple parameters ( column ) and row entries ( index ). When loading an ini file to the
device, it's recommended to include only tables that belong to applications that are to be
configured (dynamic tables of other applications are empty, but static tables are not).
A table is defined as a secret table (i.e., hidden) if it contains at least one secret data field
or if it depends on another secret table. For example, in the IPSec application, IPSec tables
are defined as secret tables as the IKE table contains a pre-shared key that must be
hidden. Therefore, the SPD table that depends on the IKE table is defined as a secret table
as well. Secret tables are always hidden when loading an
ini file to the device. However,
there is a commented title that states that the secret table exists in the device, but is not to
be revealed. Secret tables are always stored in the device's non-volatile memory and can
be overwritten by new tables that are provided in a new
ini file. If a secret table appears in
an ini file, it replaces the current table regardless of its content. To delete a secret table
from the device, include an empty table of the same type (with no data lines) as part of a
new
ini file.
The ini file table parameter is composed of the following elements:
„ Title of the table: The name of the table in square brackets (e.g.,
[MY_TABLE_NAME]).
„ Format line: Specifies the columns of the table (by their string names) that are to be
configured.
•
The first word of the Format line must be 'FORMAT', followed by the Index field
name, and then an equal (=) sign. After the equal sign, the names of the columns
are listed.
•
Columns must be separated by a comma (,).
•
The Format line must only include columns that can be modified (i.e., parameters
that are not specified as read-only). An exception is Index fields that are always
mandatory.
•
The Format line must end with a semicolon (;).
„ Data line(s): Contain the actual values of the columns (parameters). The values are
interpreted according to the Format line.
•
The first word of the Data line must be the table’s string name followed by the
Index field.
•
Columns must be separated by a comma (,).
•
A Data line must end with a semicolon (;).
„ End-of-Table Mark: Indicates the end of the table. The same string used for the
table’s title, preceded by a backslash (\), e.g., [\MY_TABLE_NAME].
