User's Manual
12.2.4 Syslog
Syslog is a standard protocol for reporting and logging of messages over IP network and is
defined by RFC 3164. MP-20x enables the service provider to configure a Syslog server
and a severity level above which errors are sent to the server. Typically, only error-level
messages should be sent to the Syslog server (in order not to flood it with irrelevant debug-
level information). For debugging, it is possible to temporarily allow logging for debug-level
messages (e.g. for SIP messages).
Many free Syslog servers exist, including Kiwi Syslog Daemon' (http://www.kiwisyslog.co'm
http://www.kiwisyslog.com).
Note: Since Syslog is used only to output messages from MP-20x, it does not
contain any security concerns.
12.2.5 Automatic File Download
A practical, straight-forward and easy to implement method for mass configuration and
firmware update is automatic file download from a remote file server (via HTTP, FTP, or
TFTP). This method is used by many service providers.
12.2.5.1 Firmware File Download
MP-20x's firmware files contain information about the target product type and the firmware
version information.
12.2.5.2 Configuration File Download
MP-20x supports two configuration file formats, a *.conf file and an *.ini file. Both files
define the same parameters, but in a different format; the *.conf file has a hierarchical tree-
like structure and the *.ini file is "flat" (defining the full path for each parameter).
As with the firmware file, the configuration file can be “pushed” to MP-20x via the Web
server or “pulled” by MP-20x from a remote server. This section refers only to the second
option.
When MP-20x downloads a file from a remote server, it performs the following actions:
„ Decrypts the file, if it is encrypted.
„ Checks that the file version is later than the current configuration file version (if it is not
later, the new configuration is not used).
