Setting up the Configuration File Download
When performing a configuration file download, you can download two different files:
A generic configuration file that should be used to update a large number of units with the same
configuration.
A specific configuration file that contains the configuration for a single unit, for instance the
telephone numbers of its lines.
When both the generic and specific configuration files are downloaded, settings from the specific configuration
file always override the settings from the generic configuration file. These files must be located in the same
directory.

To setup the configuration file download:
1. In the General section of the Configuration File page , set the transfer protocol to use in the
Configuration File Transfer Protocol field.
Figure 20: General Section
You have the choice between TFTP and HTTP .
Your HTTPserver may activate some caching mechanism for the file download. This mechanism
caches the initial file download for later processing, thus preventing changes or update of the
original file by the user. This can cause strange problems if a user wants to edit a configuration file
to modify values and upload it immediately. The result will still return the original file and not the new
one.
2. If your HTTPserver requires authentication to download the configuration file, set the following:
• The user name in the Configuration File User Name field.
• The password in the Configuration File Password field.
The Mediatrix 1204 supports basic and digest HTTP authentication, as described in RFC 2617.
3. Set the path, on the remote server, of the directory where the configuration files are located in the
Configuration File Path field.
The path is case sensitive hence it must be entered properly.
The path is relative to the root path of the transfer server ( configFileFetchingHost ). Use the “/”
character when defining the path to indicate sub-directories.
Let’s consider the following example:
• The directory that contains the configuration file is called: Config_File .
• This directory is under C:/Root/Download .
