Configuration File Download Server Reference Manual (MGCP/NCS Version)
Mediatrix 4100
101
The default port value complies to RFC 1340 on the well-known ports (assigned numbers). This
value applies to a TFTP server. It may be different for other servers. If you are using an HTTP server
to perform the configuration file download, you must change the port value to 80.
Setting up the Configuration File Download
When performing a configuration file download, you can download two different files:
 A generic configuration file that should be used to update a large number of units with the same
configuration.
 A specific configuration file that contains the configuration for a single unit, for instance the
telephone numbers of its lines.
When both the generic and specific configuration files are downloaded, settings from the specific configuration
file always override the settings from the generic configuration file. These files must be located in the same
directory.
 To setup the configuration file download:
1. In the configFileFetchingMIB, set the configFileFetchingFileLocation variable with the path, on the
remote server, of the directory where the configuration files are located.
The path is case sensitive hence it must be entered properly.
The path is relative to the root path of the transfer server (configFileFetchingHost). Use the “/”
character when defining the path to indicate sub-directories.
Let’s consider the following example:
• The directory that contains the configuration file is called: Config_File.
• This directory is under C:/Root/Download.
The following are some tips to help your download process:
• Use the “/” character when defining the path to indicate sub-directories. For instance,
root/download.
• If you are using the TFTP protocol to download the software, note that some TFTP
servers on Windows do not recognize the “/” character and produce an error. In this
case, use the “\” character.
• Use basic directory names, without spaces or special characters such as “~”, “@”, etc.,
which may cause problems.
• Cut and paste the path and/or name of the directory that contains the extracted files
into the configuration file path of the Mediatrix 4100 (you may have to convert “\” into “/
”) to eliminate typographical errors.
Note that you can define the C:/Root/Download part as you want. The file names may also differ
from the example shown above.
2. Set the configFileFetchingFileName variable with the name of the generic configuration file to
download.
The file name is case sensitive hence it must be entered properly.
This file should be used to update a large number of units with the same configuration.
Table 76: Path Configurations Example
Root Path Corresponding Path Name
c:/root/download Config_File
c:/ root/download/Config_File
c:/root download/Config_File
Caution: The generic configuration file must be in XML format, no matter what its file extension.
