MP-1xx SIP User’s Manual 6. ini File Configuration of the MP-1xx

6 ini File Configuration of the MP-1xx
As an alternative to configuring the VoIP gateway using the Web Interface (refer to Section 5 on
page 39), it can be configured by loading the ini file containing Customer-configured parameters.
The ini file is loaded via the BootP/TFTP utility (refer to
Appendix B on page 197) or via any
standard TFTP server. It can also be loaded through the Web Interface (refer to Section
5.9.2.1
on page 120).
The ini file configuration parameters are stored in the MP-1xx non-volatile memory after the file is
loaded. When a parameter is missing from the ini file, a default value is assigned to that
parameter (according to the cmp file loaded on the MP-1xx) and stored in the non-volatile
memory (thereby overriding the value previously defined for that parameter). Therefore, to restore
the default configuration parameters, use the ini file without any valid parameters or with a
semicolon (;) preceding all lines in the file.
Some of the MP-1xx parameters are configurable through the ini file only (and not via the Web).
These parameters usually determine a low-level functionality and are seldom changed for a
specific application.
Note: For detailed explanation of each parameter, refer to Section 5 on page 39.
6.1 Secured ini File
The ini file contains sensitive information that is required for the functioning of the MP-1xx. 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 choose to load an encoded ini file to the MP-1xx. 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 Section
F.1.2 on page 221.
6.2 Modifying an ini File
To modify the ini file, take these 3 steps:
1. Get the ini file from the gateway using the Embedded Web Server (refer to Section 5.9.2.1
on page 120).
2. Open the file (the file is open in Notepad or a Customer-defined text file editor) and modify
the ini file parameters according to your requirements; save and close the file.
3. Load the modified ini file to the gateway (using either BootP/TFTP utility or the Embedded
Web Server).
This method preserves the programming that already exists in the device, including special
default values that were preconfigured when the unit was manufactured.
Tip: Before loading the ini file to the gateway, verify that the extension of the ini
file saved on your PC is correct: Verify that the check box ‘Hide file
extension for known file types’ (My computer>Tools>Folder Options>View)
is unchecked. Then, confirm that the ini file name extension is xxx.ini and
NOT erroneously xxx.ini.ini or xxx~.ini.
