Client Auto-Configuration - Linksys SPA9000 Administrator's Manual

Chapter 2 Getting Started
formatted and encrypted .cfg file. The SPC tool is available from Linksys for the Win32 environment
and Linux-i386-elf environment. Requests for SPC tools compiled on other platforms are evaluated on
a case-by-case basis. Please contact your Linksys sales representative for further information about
obtaining the SPC tool.
The syntax of the plain-text file accepted by the profile compiler is a series of parameter-value pairs,
with the value in double quotes. Each parameter-value pair is followed by a semicolon. Here is an
example of a valid text source profile for input to the SPC tool:
Refer to the LVS SPA Provisioning Guide for further details.
The names of parameters in XML profiles can generally be inferred from the SPA9000 configuration
Web pages, by substituting underscores (_) for spaces and other control characters. Further, to
distinguish between Lines 1, 2, 3, and 4, corresponding parameter names are augmented by the strings
_1_, _2_, _3_, and _4_. For example, Line 1 Proxy is named Proxy_1_ in XML profiles.
Parameters in the case of source text files for the SPC tool are similarly named, except that to
differentiate Line 1, 2, 3, and 4, the appended strings ([1], [2], [3], or [4]) are used. For example, the
Line 1 Proxy is named Proxy[1] in source text profiles for input to the SPC.

Client Auto-Configuration

An unprovisioned client station in the factory default state can be automatically provisioned by the
SPA9000 by following the flow chart shown in
When the SPA9000 receives a request for /cfg/init_$MA.xml, it automatically assigns the next available
user ID (extension number) to this client station. The next user ID to be assigned to a new client station
is configured using The <Next Auto User ID> parameter and is automatically incremented each time a
new number is assigned. Before assigning a new user ID, the SPA9000 also checks whether there is any
registered client station using that ID and keeps increasing the ID until an unused value is found.
