6.4 Appendix: Device configuration with TFTP server (+ DHCP server code 66)
The SAP10e device can be configured thanks to a
.js
configuration script (Javascript) hosted on a
TFTP
¹ server associated to a
DHCP
server (code 66
option) properly configured and available on the local network.
¹ Trivial File Transfer Protocol
The
.js
configuration script downloading can be done as soon as a
DHCP
server is available, even whether the device is configured with a static IP
address. Once connected to the
DHCP
server, the device can get:
the IP address value of its network interface, when the option
Obtain IP address automatically by DHCP
is activated then,
the primary DNS value when the
system.lan1.dns.static
user preference is false then,
the
.js
configuration script from the
TFTP
server when the
system.tftp.enable
user preference is true .
Prerequisites:
the approriate
.js
configuration script must be is available in the exported directory of the
TFTP server
. It must:
be suitable for the device, its firmware type and its firmware version,
match an appropriate filename pattern:
000000000000.js
or,
<device_LAN1_MAC_address>.js
(with the format
ABCDEFABCDEF.js
).
When a
.js
configuration script is modified on the
TFTP
server, the device must be restarted once so that the new configuration script is taken into
account by the device.
☛ When using a
TFTP
server, the
configuration.js
filename pattern is not supported .
◬
The downloading of a
.js
configuration script from a
TFTP
server can be done only at the device booting-up and when the device has
never downloaded it before or when the script content has been modified since the last download (CRC check).
DHCP server configuration
The
DHCP
server must be configured to be associated to a
TFTP
server. For that, you need to use code 66 option (TFTP Server), using the IPv4 address
value of the
TFTP
server.
For example, for a
Microsoft DHCP server
, you need to define the option Boot Server Host Name and give the IPv4 address of the
TFTP
server. It can
be in Extended option and/or Server Options .
☛ The service must be restarted so that the modifications are fully reflected.
TFTP server configuration
The configuration is depending on the used software client. In all cases, you need to:
get the directory URL that can be seen by
TFTP
clients,
choose a
TFTP
security None ,
keep the default port (69).
Here is an example of the
tftpd32
software with MS-Windows.
