Mac Address Placeholder In Configuration File Name; File Template For Automatic Provisioning - AudioCodes E-SBC User Manual

CHAPTER 47 Automatic Provisioning
For configuration files, the file name in the URL can automatically contain the device's
MAC address for enabling the device to download a file unique to the device. For more
information, see

MAC Address Placeholder in Configuration File Name

You can configure the file name of the configuration file in the URL to automatically include the
MAC address of the device. As described in
IniFileURL = 'https://www.company.com/config_<MAC>.ini'
(automatic-update)# cli-script https://company.com/files/cli_script_<MAC>.txt
(automatic-update)# startup-script https://company.com/files/startup_<MAC>.txt
The device automatically replaces the string with its hardware MAC address, resulting in a file
name request that contains the device's MAC address, for example, config_00908F033512.ini or
startup_00908F033512.txt. Therefore, you can configure all the devices with the same URL and file
name.
If you write the MAC address placeholder string in lower case (i.e., "<mac>"), the
device adds the MAC address in lower case to the file name (e.g., config_<mac>.ini
results in config_00908f053736e); if in upper case (i.e., "<MAC>"), the device adds the
MAC address in upper case to the file name (e.g., config_<MAC>.ini results in config_
00908F053736E).

File Template for Automatic Provisioning

To facilitate automatic provisioning setup, you can use a single template to define the files to
download during automatic provisioning. The template uses special keywords to denote the
different file types to download and in the URL address of the provisioning server it uses a
placeholder for the file names which is replaced by hardcoded file names and extensions according
to file type, as described in more detail below.

To use a file template for automatic provisioning:
1. Define the file types to download by the file template, using the AupdFilesList parameter. Use
the keywords listed in the table below to specify each file type. For example, to specify ini,
License Key, and CPT files:
● ini File:
MAC Address Placeholder in Configuration File
Unlike the parameters that define specific URLs for Auxiliary files (e.g.,
CptFileURL), the file template feature always retains the URLs after each
automatic update process. Therefore, with the file template the device always
attempts to download the files upon each automatic update process.
If you configure a parameter used to define a URL for a specific file (e.g.,
CptFileURL), the settings of the TemplateUrl parameter is ignored for the specific
file type (e.g., CPT file).
Additional placeholders can be used in the file name in the URL, for example,
<MAC> for MAC address (see
Name).
