Configuring the Cisco ATA to Obtain its Configuration File from the TFTP Server

This section describes three methods from which to choose how the Cisco ATA contacts the TFTP server
to obtain its configuration file:
•
•
Note In the rare instance where no TFTP server is used, you must manually configure the CA0orCM0
parameter to instruct the Cisco ATA about how to register with Cisco CallManager. For this scenario,
see the

Using a DHCP Server

When using a DHCP server, configuration settings vary depending on whether or not the DHCP server
is under the control of the Cisco ATA system administrator or the service provider. The simplest
configuration is when the DHCP server is under the control of the Cisco ATA administrator, in which
case the DHCP server provides the IP address of the TFTP server. Depending on who controls the DHCP
server, follow the applicable configuration procedure:

cfgfmt -eSecret -
tpTagFile
If the Cisco ATA EncryptKey parameter has the value of 0 or is not included in input-text-file, the
Secret is used to encrypt the output-binary-file. If input-text-file sets the Cisco ATA EncryptKey
parameter to a nonzero value and the -e option is used, then output-binary-file is encrypted with the
EncryptKey parameter set in input-text-file and Secret is ignored.
cfgfmt -E -
tpTagFile
The -E (uppercase) option means that any value specified for the Cisco ATA EncryptKey parameter
in input-text-file is ignored. However, because Secret is not specified in this example,
output-binary-file is not encrypted. Nevertheless, the EncryptKey parameter and its value, if
specified in input-file-text, will be included in output-binary-file for possible encryption at a later
time.
cfgfmt -E -eSecret -
The -E (uppercase) option means that any value specified for the Cisco ATA EncryptKey parameter
in input-text-file is ignored and the output-binary-file is encrypted with the Secret key. However, the
EncryptKey parameter and its value, if specified in input-text-file, will be included in
output-binary-file.
