Notes:
•
The Automatic Update mechanism assumes that the external Web server
conforms to the HTTP standard. If the Web server ignores the If-Modified-Since
header, or doesn't provide the current date and time during the HTTP 200 OK
response, the device may reset itself repeatedly. To overcome this problem,
modify the update frequency, using the AutoUpdateFrequency parameter.
•
To load a different configuration file (ini file) per device, add the string "<MAC>" to
the URL (e.g., IniFileURL = 'http://www.corp.com/config_<MAC>.ini'). This
mnemonic is replaced with the device's hardware MAC address, resulting in an ini
file name request that contains the device's MAC address (e.g.,
config_00908F033512.ini).
•
To prevent the device from accidentally upgrading its software, by default the
Automatic Update feature does not apply a downloaded cmp file even if its URL
was configured (using the CmpFileURL parameter). To enable this, set the
AutoUpdateCmpFile parameter to 1.
•
To enable the device to automatically reset after an ini file has been loaded, set
the ResetNow parameter to 1. This is important if the downloaded configuration
file includes parameters that require a device reset for its settings to be applied.
•
By default, parameters that are not included in the downloaded configuration file
are set to default. To retain the current settings of these parameters, set the
SetDefaultOnINIFileProcess parameter to 0.

Automatic Configuration Methods

This section describes available methods that can be used for automatic device
configuration.

34.4.1 Local Configuration Server with BootP/TFTP

Local configuration server with BootP/TFTP provides an easy and efficient method for
automatic configuration, where configuration occurs at a staging warehouse, as described
below:
1. Install AudioCodes AcBootP/TFTP utility program on a computer located in a staging
warehouse.
2. Prepare a standard configuration ini file and place it in the TFTP directory.
3. Enter the MAC address of each device in the AcBootP utility.
4. For each device added in the BootP utility, select the cmp and ini file in the 'BootP File'
