Modifying An Ini File; Secured Encoded Ini File - AudioCodes Mediant 1000 User Manual

7.2

Modifying an ini File

You can modify an ini file currently used by the device. Modifying an ini file instead of
loading an entirely new ini file preserves the device's current configuration.

To modify an ini file:
1. Save the current ini file from the device to your PC, using the Web interface (see
'Backing Up and Loading Configuration File' on page 503).
2. Open the ini file (using a text file editor such as Notepad), and then modify the ini file
parameters according to your requirements.
3. Save the modified ini file, and then close the file.
4. Load the modified ini file to the device, using the BootP/TFTP utility or the Web
interface (see 'Backing Up and Loading Configuration File' on page 503).
Tip:
7.3

Secured Encoded ini File

The ini file contains sensitive information that is required for the functioning of the device.
The file may be loaded to the device using TFTP or HTTP. These protocols are not secure
and are vulnerable to potential hackers. To overcome this security threat, the AudioCodes'
TrunkPack Downloadable Conversion Utility (DConvert) utility allows you to binary-encode
(encrypt) the ini file before loading it to the device (refer to the Product Reference Manual).
Notes:
SIP User's Manual
Before loading the ini file to the device, verify that the file extension of the ini
file is correct, i.e., .ini.
•
The procedure for loading an encoded ini file is identical to the procedure
for loading an unencoded ini file (see 'Backing Up and Loading
Configuration File' on page 503).
•
If you download from the device (to a folder on your PC) an ini file that
was loaded encoded to the device, the file is saved as a regular ini file
(i.e., unencoded).
