Firmware and Configuration File Prefix and Postfix

Firmware Prefix and Postfix allows device to download the firmware name with the matching Prefix and Postfix. This makes it the
possible to store all the firmware with different version in one single directory. Similarly, Config File Prefix and Postfix allows device to
download the configuration file with the matching Prefix and Postfix. Thus, multiple configuration files for the same device can be
stored in one directory. In addition, when the field "Check New Firmware only when F/W pre/suffix changes" is set to "Yes", the device
will only issue firmware upgrade request if there are changes in the firmware Prefix or Postfix.

When "Automatic Upgrade" is set "Yes, every" the auto check will be done in the minute specified in this field. If set to "daily at hour
(0-23)", Service Provider can use P193 (Auto Check Interval) to have the devices do a daily check at the hour set in this field with either
Firmware Server or Config Server. If set to "weekly on day (0-6)" the auto check will be done on the day specified in this field. This
allows the device periodically to check if there are any new changes need to be taken on a scheduled time. By defining different
intervals in P193 for different devices, Server Provider can spread the Firmware or Configuration File download in minutes to reduce
the Firmware or Provisioning Server load at any given time
