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 is transferred from the configuration file download
server and the Mediatrix 1204 is the session initiator. The advantage of having the Mediatrix 1204 as the
session initiator is to allow NAT traversal.
The Configuration File sub-page of the Management page allows you to set various configuration file
download parameters grouped in three categories:
General parameters
Encryption
Automatic Update
You can also set these parameters via SNMP, as described in “Chapter 12 - Configuration File Download” on
page 153 .
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
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
page 48 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
“SNTP Settings” on page 38 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.
