SIP User's Manual 6. ini File Configuration
6 ini File Configuration
As an alternative to configuring the gateway using the Embedded Web Server (refer to
'Web-based Management' on page
55 ), you can configure the gateway by loading the
ini
file containing user-defined parameters.
The
ini
file is loaded via the BootP/TFTP utility (refer to the
SIP Series Reference Manual
)
or via any standard TFTP server. It can also be loaded using the Embedded Web Server
(refer to 'Restoring and Backing up Configuration' on page
240 ).
The
ini
file configuration parameters are saved in the gateway's non-volatile memory after
the file is loaded to the gateway. When a parameter is absent from the
ini
file, the default
value is assigned to that parameter (according to the
cmp
file loaded to the gateway) and
stored in the non-volatile memory (thereby overriding the value previously defined for that
parameter). Therefore, to restore the gateway's default configuration parameters, use the
ini
file without any valid parameters or with a semicolon (;) preceding all lines in the file.
Some of the gateway's parameters are configurable only through the
ini
file (and not via the
Embedded Web Server). These parameters usually determine a low-level functionality and
are seldom changed for a specific application.
Note:
For a list of the
ini
file parameters, refer to 'The ini File Parameter Reference'
on page 256 . The
ini
file parameters that are configurable through the
Embedded Web Server are described in 'Web-based Management' on page
55 .Those
ini
parameters that can't be configured using the Embedded Web
Server are described in this section.
6.1 Secured ini File
The
ini
file contains sensitive information that is required for the functioning of the gateway.
It is loaded to, or retrieved from the device via TFTP or HTTP. These protocols are
unsecured and vulnerable to potential hackers. Therefore, an encoded
ini
file significantly
reduces these threats.
You can load an encoded
ini
file to the gateway. When you load an encoded
ini
file, the
retrieved
ini
file is also encoded. Use the 'TrunkPack Downloadable Conversion Utility' to
encode or decode the
ini
file before you load it to, or retrieve it from the device. Note that
the encoded
ini
file's loading procedure is identical to the regular
ini
file's loading
procedure. For information on encoding / decoding an
ini
file, refer to the
SIP Series
Reference Manual
.
6.2 Modifying an ini File
¾
To modify an ini file, take these 4 steps:
1.
Save the
ini
file from the gateway to your PC using the Embedded Web Server (refer
to 'Restoring and Backing up Configuration' on page 240 ).
2.
Open the
ini
file (using a text file editor such as Microsoft Notepad), and then modify
the
ini
file parameters according to your requirements.
