Writing an Auto-configuration File
There are hundreds of parameters that can be configured on a modem. These
parameters are assigned in the configuration file, which is a human-readable text file.
The configuration file can have any name (not including spaces) and any extension.
The explanation of all possible parameters can be found in a separate document
called Alma auto-configuration manual, that can be found on the Documentation
CD.
For a basic network with one Master and several Slaves, only two
configuration files are needed. The simplest configuration file for a Master is shown
in figure 11. Figure 12 presents the simplest configuration file for a Slave.
Figure 11: Simplest Master configuration Figure 12: Simplest Slave configuration
With these two files and some configuration on the DHCP / TFTP server, a simple
one-level network can be built.
Note:
The HD200 CableLAN Wall Mount can only be used as a slave (CPE,
Customer Premises Equipment). In order to create a simple network as
described above, another adapter from Corinex’s portfolio has to be set as
the master device.
