INI File Configuration

An alternative to configuring the device using the Web interface (as described in ''Web-
Based Management'' on page 23) is by loading an ini file to the device containing user-
defined parameters. The ini file can be loaded using the following methods:

AudioCodes' BootP/TFTP utility (refer to the Product Reference Manual)

Any standard TFTP server

Web interface (refer to ''
The ini file configuration parameters are saved in the device's non-volatile memory after the
file is loaded to the device. When a parameter is excluded from the ini file, the default value
is assigned to that parameter (according to the cmp file loaded to the device) and stored in
the non-volatile memory (thereby, overriding the value previously defined for that
parameter).
Notes:
4.1

Secured Encoded ini File

The ini file contains sensitive information that is required for the functioning of the device.
Typically, it is loaded to or retrieved from 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) allows you to
binary-encode the ini file before loading it to the device (refer to the Product Reference
Manual). If you save an ini file from the device to a folder on your PC, using the Web
interface (refer to Backing Up and Restoring Configuration) that was initially loaded to the
device as encoded, the file is saved encoded and vice versa.
Note:
4.2

INI File Format

The ini file can include any number of parameters and of the following types:

Individual parameters, which can be conveniently grouped (optional) by their
functionality (refer to ''Structure of Individual ini File Parameters''

Table parameters, which include multiple individual parameters (refer to ''Structure of
ini File Table Parameters''
