Matrix SETU ATA211 System Manual 103
Auto Configuration
You can use Auto-Configuration to have the system automatically download the configuration files stored at a
central location: TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS Server.
This feature is useful for ITSPs and where multiple SETU ATA211 are connected. ITSPs can store the configuration
files of each SETU ATA211 that they provide to their customers on the Auto Configuration Server (ACS). The
configuration files of each ATA are to be stored in a folder named by its MAC Address.
When a customer connects to the ITSP network, the SETU ATA211 provided to the customer will automatically
download its configuration files stored in its MAC Address folder on the ACS. The customer can thus start using the
SETU ATA211 without the intervention or assistance of a technician, making it a 'plug-and-play' device.
To use this feature, end users must obtain from the ITSP or System Administrator the following information:
1. IP address of the Auto Configuration Server.
2. Path of the Folder (containing the configuration files) on the Auto Configuration Server.
3. The protocol to be used: TFTP, HTTP, HTTPS.
When your ACS uses HTTP, HTTPS protocol for Auto-Configuration, make sure:
• The configuration files of each ATA are stored in a folder by its MAC Address.
• Store the index.html or startup.html or any other default file name used by your server in the MAC Address
folder of each ATA.
• This file should include the names of the configuration files of ATA in the same format as provided to you
on the CD-ROM supplied to you with your ATA. See the folder name Auto Configuration Sample Folder
on the CD.
When ATA sends GET request to perform Auto-Configuration, server should return index.html or
startup.html or other file, which includes the configuration file names to be supplied to ATA. Once ATA
receives the file (index.html or startup.html or other) with configuration file names, ATA will send separate
requests for each configuration file.
