For detailed information about provisioning the Linksys ATA, refer to the Linksys SPA Provisioning
Guide.

Provisioning Capabilities

The Linksys ATA provides for secure provisioning and remote upgrade. Provisioning is achieved
through configuration profiles transferred to the device via TFTP, HTTP, or HTTPS.
The Linksys ATA can be configured to automatically resync its internal configuration state to a remote
profile periodically and on power up. The automatic resyncs are controlled by configuring the desired
profile URL into the device.
The Linksys ATA accepts profiles in XML format, or alternatively in a proprietary binary format, which
is generated by a profile compiler tool available from Linksys. The Linksys ATA supports up to 256-bit
symmetric key encryption of profiles. For the initial transfer of the profile encryption key (initial
provisioning stage), the Linksys ATA can receive a profile from an encrypted channel (HTTPS with
client authentication), or it can resync to a binary profile generated by the Linksys-supplied profile
compiler. In the latter case, the profile compiler can encrypt the profile specifically for the target Linksys
ATA, without requiring an explicit key exchange.
Remote firmware upgrade is achieved via TFTP or HTTP (firmware upgrades using HTTPS are not
supported). Remote upgrades are controlled by configuring the desired firmware image URL into the
Linksys ATA via a remote profile resync.
For further information about remote provisioning refer to the Linksys SPA Provisioning Guide.

Configuration Profile

The Linksys ATA configuration profile can be either an XML file or a binary file with a proprietary
format.
The XML file consists of a series of elements (one per configuration parameter), encapsulated within
the element tags <flat-profile> ... </flat-profile>. The encapsulated elements specify values for
individual parameters. Here is an example of a valid XML profile:
