Configuration File Download
The configuration file download feature allows to update the Mediatrix 1204 configuration by transferring a
configuration file via TFTP or HTTP. The configuration file can either be transferred from the management
server or from the configuration file download server. The main difference is the session initiator, which is
respectively the management server and the Mediatrix 1204. The advantage of having the Mediatrix 1204 as
the session initiator is to allow NAT traversal.
You can also set these parameters via the web interface, as described in
“Configuration File Download” on
.
Configuration File Download Server
The service allows to download a unique file for each Mediatrix 1204, and/or a file shared among many units.
These configuration files may be encrypted or not.
You have the choice to perform the configuration file download by using the TFTP protocol or the HTTP
protocol. You can also configure the Mediatrix 1204 to automatically update its configuration.
To download a configuration file, you may need to setup the following applications on your computer:
TFTP server with proper root path
SNTP server properly configured
HTTP server with proper root path
Configuration source
Configuration file name and location
Configuring the TFTP Server
If you are to perform a configuration file download by using the TFTP protocol, you must install a TFTP (Trivial
File Transfer Protocol) server running on the PC designated as the TFTP server host. It is assumed that you
know how to set the TFTP root path. If not, refer to your TFTP server’s documentation.
Configuring the SNTP Server
If you are to use the automatic configuration file update feature (see
“Automatic Configuration Update” on
for more details), you need to have a time server SNTP that is accessible and properly configured.
It is assumed that you know how to configure your SNTP server. If not, refer to your SNTP server’s
documentation. You can also refer to
“Chapter 20 - SNTP Settings” on page 239
for more details on how to
configure the Mediatrix 1204 for a SNTP server.
Configuring the HTTP Server
If you are to perform a configuration file download by using the HTTP protocol, you must install a HTTP server
running on the PC designated as the server host. It is assumed that you know how to set the root path. If not,
refer to your HTTP server’s documentation.
Configuration File Server Settings
The Mediatrix 1204 must know the IP address and port number of its configuration file server. This server
contains the configuration file the Mediatrix 1204 will download. You can assign these information to the
Mediatrix 1204 through a DHCP server or manually enter them yourself in static variables.
