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 AV200 ALMA auto-configuration manual, which 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 (Low
Voltage, High Density Gateway, High Density Building Controller) is shown in figure
12. Figure 13 presents the simplest configuration file for a Slave (HD200 Enterprise
devices).

With these two files and some configuration on the DHCP / TFTP server, a simple
one-level network can be built.
Note:
The HD200 Powerline Wall Mount F can be used only 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 used
as master device.
