6.1 Provisioning for H.323 Operation
Initial configuration of the MP-1xx is provided through Web browser control or by loading of
mp108.ini configuration file. The configuration ini file can be downloaded from Web browser using
HTTP or TFTP protocols or by using AudioCodes configuration utility. The ini file name is
provided in the field ‘Boot File Name’ of the BootP server.
To create an ini file, it is recommended to use the Excel™ utility provided. To use the Excel™
utility, first install the Microsoft™ Office 2000™ Excel™ application.
The ini file contains the following information:
" Basic and Logging Parameters shown in Table 6-1 on page 54
" Channel Parameters shown in Table 6-2 on page 56.
" H.323 parameters shown in Table 6-3 on page 59).
" Names for optional Call Progress Tone file. For detailed information, refer to Section 6.4.
" Name for optional Telephony Interface (Coeff.dat) Configuration file. For MP-1xx/FXS and
for MP-10x/FXO two different files should be used. Refer to Section 6.5 for more details.
Note: The names of Call Progress and Coeff.dat files in ini file must be enclosed in quotation marks
(‘…’).
All ini file data is downloaded at startup and stored in non-volatile memory. The provisioning
procedure should be used again only to modify MP-1xx parameters; otherwise, BootP and TFTP
is not needed again.
The Default Channel Parameters are applied to all MP-1xx channels.
Users do not have to specify all parameters, as each unspecified parameter is set to its default
value. Using the ini file resets all unspecified parameters to their default values.
The Channel Parameters define the DTMF, Fax and Modem transfer modes. Refer to for a
detailed description of these modes.
