Management Server
You can set the Mediatrix 4104 so that it asks the management server to send it a configuration file.
Management Server Configuration
To download a configuration file from the management server, you must setup the management server
information as per
“Chapter 26 - Management Server Configuration” on page 333 .
Downloading from the Management Server
Once the management server has been properly set up, you can define the configuration file download.

To download the configuration file from the management server:
1. Place the configuration file on the computer hosting the management server.
2. In the sysConfigMIB , request a configuration file download by setting the
sysConfigDownloadConfigFile variable to requestFileDownload .
3. Set the sysConfigDownloadConfigMode variable to request .
The Mediatrix 4104 sends a notification, msTrapConfigInformation, to the management server, via
SNMP traps, to request the configuration file.
The management server then initiates the TFTP session and pushes the file into the unit.
If the management server is the Unit Manager Network from Media5, the following steps are
automatically performed. If you are using another management server, you may have to perform
them manually.
a. The Unit Manager Network sets the sysConfigDownloadConfigMode variable to record .
b. The Unit Manager Network sends the configuration file to the Mediatrix 4104.
c. Once the configuration file has been sent, the Unit Manager Network sets the
sysConfigDownloadConfigFile variable to noFileDownload .
d. The Unit Manager Network sets the sysConfigDownloadConfigMode variable to commit .
If a valid configuration file is successfully downloaded, then the Mediatrix 4104 automatically
restarts to apply all the new settings. If the Mediatrix 4104 does not restart, this could mean the
download failed. In this case, you can query the status of the last configuration file download in the
sysAdminDownloadConfigFileStatus variable:
• idle: No configuration file download has been performed yet.
Transfer error Received an HTTP error (other
than 401 and 404) from the
HTTP server. Send a syslog warning message including the
file location/name with the HTTP server
address and port:
Error in the HTTP transfer of the
configuration file “XXX” from host
“XXX” and port number XXX.
Set sysAdminDownloadConfigFileStatus to fail .
