Server Settings; Configuration Files - ADTRAN IP 706 Administrator's Manual

Automating Configuration

Server Settings

A path to the configuration files' location on the FTP/HTTP/HTTPS/TFTP server is necessary for
automatic configuration to take place. The path is indicated using the FtpServers, HttpServers,
HttpsServers, and TftpServers parameters. The value of FtpServers, HttpServers, HttpsServers, or
TftpServers must be manually set using the administrator's Web interface, phone's user interface, or
DHCP option 157.
The FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS servers may require a login and password to access the configuration files.
The FTP/HTTP/HTTPS login and password can be changed from the default values by using the adminis-
trator's Web interface, DHCP option 157, or the phone's user interface via the Server Menu in the
Network Settings menu.
The default FTP/HTTP/HTTPS logins are admin, and the default passwords are
password.

Configuration Files

A unique configuration file is required for each phone. The MAC address of the phone is used to identify
the appropriate file for downloading. When the phone boots up, it checks the FTP/TFTP server for its
specific configuration file. The file must be stored on the FTP/TFTP server in the following format:
adtran_<mac address>.txt
The <mac address> variable is the MAC address of the phone that will use the configuration file. All file
names for configuration files must be titled in lowercase letters.
If the phone cannot find its MAC address-based configuration file, it will download the file
adtran_000000000000.txt and use it as the main configuration file.
Configuration files can be broken into sections to separate the more commonly modified parameters (such
as line key definitions) from those that don't change very often. The Include parameter can be used to call
another configuration file that contains parameters (such as the proxy server address) that seldom change.
When writing a configuration file, the following restrictions apply:
• Each parameter must appear on its own line. A <name> <value> pair is entered for each parameter. The
<name> <value> may be separated by an arbitrary number of spaces or tabs.
• Any combination of uppercase or lowercase letters can be used within the configuration file because it
is not case sensitive.
• Spaces are not permitted in any of the configuration values unless quotation marks are used.
• Comments may be included in a configuration file by starting the comment line with the # character.
