Configuration Download via HTTP
The following steps explain how to download the configuration files by using the HTTP protocol.
X
To download the configuration files via HTTP:
1. Set the configuration file server host and port as defined in “Configuration File Server Settings” on
page 153 .
2. Place the configuration files to download on the computer hosting the HTTP server.
These files must be in a directory under the root path.
3. If not already done, set the configuration file path as described in “Setting up the Configuration File
Download” on page 155 .
4. In the configFileFetchingMIB, set the configFileTransferProtocol variable to http .
Your HTTP server may activate some caching mechanism for the file download. This mechanism
caches the initial file download for later processing, thus preventing changes or update of the
original file by the user. This can cause strange problems if a user wants to edit a configuration file
to modify values and upload it immediately. The result will still return the original file and not the new
one.
5. If your HTTP server requires authentication when downloading the configuration file, set the
following:
• The user name in the configFileTransferUsername variable.
• The password in the configFileTransferPassword variable.
6. In the groupAdminMIB , set the groupSetAdmin variable to ForceLock .
All activities in progress on the Mediatrix 1204 are terminated immediately and the unit enters the
maintenance mode (the value of the
groupAdminState variable is “locked”). The configuration file
download may take place.
7. In the sysAdminMIB , initiate the configuration file download via HTTP by setting the
sysConfigCommand variable to updateConfiguration .
The Mediatrix 1204 immediately downloads the configuration files. It is the initiator of the HTTP
sessions.
Caution:
When downloading via HTTP, the configuration file server’s port must be 80. You can query the
actual port assigned in the configFileFetchingPort read-only variable (in the ipAddressStatus folder).
If you are using a DHCP server and it did not provide the proper port, reconfigure it with the proper port or
use a static configuration. See
“Configuration File Server Settings” on page 153 for more details.
