2. If you have set the imageLocationProvisionSource variable to static (see Step 1), configure the
path in the imageLocation variable.
This is the location of the “setup.inf” file that contains the list of the files to download into the
Mediatrix 4104. The “setup.inf” file and all the other files must be in the same directory. In other
words, this is the path from the root TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS folder down to the files extracted from the
zip file.
Note that the path must contain a maximum of 63 characters.
3. If you have set the imageLocationProvisionSource variable to remoteFile (see Step 1):
a. Create a text file and write the path and/or name of the directory that contains the files required
for download. Save this file as “mediatrix4104targetimage.inf” under the server root path.
b. Configure the path of the “mediatrix4104targetimage.inf” file in the imageSelectionFileLocation
variable.
Note that the selection file name is in lower case. Some web servers are case sensitive. The
path must contain a maximum of 63 characters.
This is useful if you are using automatic updates with multiple units. If you want the units to
download a new version, you only have to change the path once in the
“mediatrix4104targetimage.inf” file. If you were to use the
imageLocation variable, you would
have to change the path in every unit.
Let’s consider the following example:

The directory that contains the files required for download is called: SIP_v5.0.1.1_MX-S5001-
01 .

This directory is under C:/Root/Download .
The following are some tips to help your download process:

Use the “/” character when defining the path to indicate sub-directories. For instance, root/
download .
If you are using the TFTP protocol to download the software, note that some TFTP servers on
Windows do not recognize the “/” character and produce an error. In this case, use the “\” character.

Use basic directory names, without spaces or special characters such as “~”, “@”, etc., which
may
cause problems
.

Cut and paste the path and/or name of the directory that contains the extracted files into the
image path of the Mediatrix 4104 (you may have to convert “\” into “/”) to eliminate typographical
errors.
Note that you can define the C:/Root/Download part as you want. The file names may also differ from the
example shown above.
remoteFile The image location is defined in a file called “mediatrix4104targetimage.inf” . The
location of this file is defined in the
imageSelectionFileLocation variable.
This is useful if you are using automatic updates with multiple units (see Step 3).

Parameter Description
Note:
If you leave the file empty, the Mediatrix 4104 will look for the software download information in the
root directory of the image server.
