•
TFTP Host Address
—IP address of the computer on which the TFTP server resides. [
Any valid IP
address
]
•
Filename
—Name of file containing this unit’s configuration profile that will be transferred to the
TFTP server. The configuration information will be in a plain-text ASCII format.
[
Any 40-character alphanumeric string
] May require a sub-directory, for example:
config\inet-con-
fig.txt
. (See “Configuration Scripts Menu” on Page 87 for more information.)
NOTE:
The filename field is used to identify the desired incoming file and as the name of the file being
exported to the TFTP server. Before exporting a unit’s configuration, you may want to name it in
a way that reflects the radio’s services or other identification.
•
TFTP Timeout
—Time in seconds the TFTP server will wait for a packet ACK (acknowledgment)
from the
transceiver
before suspending the file transfer. [
10 to 120 seconds; 10
]
•
Retrieve File
—Initiate the file transfer of the configuration file from TFTP server into the transceiver.
•
Send File
—Initiate the file transfer from the transceiver’s current configuration file to TFTP server.
NOTE:
See “Upgrading the Firmware” on Page 84 for details on setting up the TFTP server.
Editing Configuration Files
Once a Remote unit’s operation is fine-tuned, use the “Configuration Scripts Menu” on Page 87 to save a
copy of the configuration on a PC. Once the file is saved on the PC it can be used as a source to generate
modified copies adjusted to match other devices. The configuration files can be modified using a text editor
or an automated process. (These applications are not provided by GE MDS).
We recommend that you review and update the following parameters for each individual unit. Other param-
eters may also be changed as necessary. Each resulting file should be saved with a different name. We rec-
ommend using directories and file names that reflect the location of the unit to facilitate later identification.
Editing Rules
• You may include only parameters you want to change from the default value.
• Change only the parameter values.
• Capitalization counts in some field parameters.
(Example: System Mode)
• Comment Fields
a. Edit, or delete anything on each line to the right of the comment delimiter, the semicolon (;).
b. Comments can be of any length, but must be on the same line as the parameter, or on a new
line that begins with a semicolon character.
c. Comments after parameters in files exported from a transceiver do not need to be present in
your customized files.
• Some fields are read-only. These are designated by “(RO)” in the configuration sample file.
