V6100 and V7122 User Guide 153C HAPTER 6: INI FILE C ONFIGURATION OFTHE V7122As an alternative to configuring the VoIP gateway using the Web Interface (see 1 Chapter 5:Web Management), it can be configured by loading the ini file containing Customer-configured parameters.The ini file is loaded via the BootP/TFTP utility (see Appendix 1 B: The BootP/TFTPConfiguration Utility) or via any standard TFTP server. It can also be loaded through the WebInterface (see Restoring and Backing up the Gateway Configuration).The ini file configuration parameters are stored in the V7122 non-volatile memory after thefile is loaded. When a parameter is missing from the ini file, a default value is assigned tothat parameter (according to the cmp file loaded on the V7122) and stored in the non-volatilememory (thereby overriding the value previously defined for that parameter). Therefore, torestore the default configuration parameters, use the ini file without any valid parameters orwith a semicolon (;) preceding all lines in the file.Some of the V7122 parameters are configurable through the ini file only (and not via theWeb). These parameters usually determine a low-level functionality and are seldom changedfor a specific application.Secured ini FileThe ini file contains sensitive information that is required for the functioning of the V7122. It isloaded to, or retrieved from, the device via TFTP or HTTP. These protocols are unsecuredand vulnerable to potential hackers. Therefore an encoded ini file significantly reduces thesethreats.You can choose to load an encoded ini file to the V7122. When you load an encoded ini file,the retrieved ini file is also encoded. Use the ‘TrunkPack Downloadable Conversion Utility’ toencode or decode the ini file before you load it to, or retrieve it from, the device. Note that theencoded ini file’s loading procedure is identical to the regular ini file’s loading procedure. Forinformation on encoding / decoding an ini file, see Encoding / Decoding an ini File.Modifying an ini FileTo modify the ini file:1 Get the ini file from the gateway using the Embedded Web Server (see Restoring andBacking up the Gateway Configuration).2 Open the file (the file opens in Notepad or a Customer-defined text file editor) and modifythe ini file parameters according to your requirements. Save and close the file.
