Proprietary Profile Format - Linksys SPA2102-AU Provisioning Manual

Chapter 3 Provisioning Tutorial
<SIP-number> 17775551234
</SIP-number>
<SIP-password> 512835907884
</SIP-password>
</customer-account>
Step 2
Store the file in the TFTP server virtual root directory.
Step 3
Open the test SPA web interface on the admin/advanced page, Provisioning tab, and edit GPP_A to
contain the alias map indicated above (do not enter new lines through the web interface, instead simply
enter each alias consecutively).
/customer-account/SIP-number = /flat-profile/User_ID_1_ ;
/customer-account/SIP-password = /flat-profile/Password_1_ ;
Step 4
Edit the Profile_Rule to point to the new XML profile, and also specify the alias map as a URL option,
as follows:
[--alias a ] tftp://192.168.1.200/customer.xml
Step 5
Click Submit All Changes.
When the SPA resyncs, it receives the XML profile, remaps the elements, as indicated by the alias map,
and populates the User_ID_1_ and Password_1_ parameters.
Step 6
View the Line 1 tab to verify the new configuration.
Note

Proprietary Profile Format

Firmware releases prior to 2.0.6 do not recognize the XML-based profiles described so far in this
chapter. Instead, the Linksys Profile Compiler tool (SPC) converts a text-based profile definition into a
proprietary binary format understood by earlier versions of the firmware. The tool provides its own
options for encrypting the resulting binary profile.
The text-based profile understood by SPC uses a different syntax from the XML profile presented earlier.
It consists of a list of parameter-value pairs, with the value in double quotes. Other minor syntax and
parameter naming differences also apply. The following example specifies values for two Line 1
parameters:
Exercise
Step 1
Obtain the SPC utility from Linksys.
Executables are available for the Windows Win32 environment, Linux ELF, and OpenBSD.
Step 2
Generate the text profile account.txt containing the two-line profile shown in the following example:
User_ID[1] "17775551234" ;
Password[1] "512835907884" ;
Step 3
Compile the text profile into a binary file, account.cfg, using the following command:
spc account.txt account.cfg
Step 4
Store account.cfg in the TFTP server virtual root directory.
Version 3.0
The SPA supports alias remapping of a limited number of parameters. It is not meant to rename
all parameters in its configuration.
