The Automatic Update processing is performed:
Upon MG 3200 start-up (after the MG 3200 is operational)
At a configurable time of day, e.g., 18:00 (disabled by default)
At fixed intervals, e.g., every 60 minutes (disabled by default)
The Automatic Update process is entirely controlled by configuration parameters in the ini
file. During the Automatic Update process, the MG 3200 contacts the external Web server
and requests the latest version of a given set of URLs.
downloaded only if they were modified since the last update.
The following is an example of an ini file activating the Automatic Update facility.
# DNS is required for specifying domain names in URLs
DnsPriServerIP = 10.1.1.11
# Load extra configuration ini file using HTTP
INIFILEURL = 'http://webserver.corp.com/Nortel/inifile.ini'
# Load call progress tones using HTTPS
# Note: HTTPS is not available on MP-104, MP-108, MP-124 platforms
CPTFILEURL = 'https://10.31.2.17/usa_tones.dat'
# Load voice prompts, using user "root" and password "wheel"
VPFILEURL = 'https://root:wheel@webserver.corp.com/vp.dat'
# Update every day at 03:00 AM
AutoUpdatePredefinedTime = '03:00'
Notes on Configuration URLs:
Additional URLs may be specified, as described in the ''System Parameters' table' on
page 233.
Updates to non-ini files are performed only once. To update a previously-loaded
binary file, you must update the ini file containing the URL for the file.
To provide differential configuration for each of the devices in a network, add the string
"<MAC>" to the URL. This mnemonic is replaced with the hardware (MAC) address of
the MG 3200.
To update the firmware image using the Automatic Update facility, use the
CMPFILEURL parameter to point to the image file. As a precaution (in order to protect
the MG 3200 from an accidental update), you must also set AUTOUPDATECMPFILE
to 1.
The following example illustrates how to utilize Automatic Updates for deploying devices
with minimum manual configuration, for an "out of the box" experience.
To utilize Automatic Updates for deploying the MG 3200 with
minimum manual configuration, take these 4 steps:
1. Set up a Web server (in this example it is http://www.corp.com/) where all the
configuration files are to be stored.
2. On each device, pre-configure the following setting: (DHCP/DNS are assumed)
INIFILEURL = 'http://www.corp.com/master_configuration.ini'
