the three specified DHCP options, or a Static Server. In addition, there are four different
ways to download provisioning files from a “Provisioning Server”: TFTP (Trivial File
Transfer Protocol), FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS.
For example, 8138 configuration files can be automatically downloaded from a TFTP
server using DHCP Option 66. This option code (when set) supplies a TFTP boot server
address to the DHCP client to boot from.
Important: DHCP must be enabled if using DHCP Option 66/160/150, in order for
Provisioning to work.
One of two files can be uploaded on the Provisioning Server (for access via TFTP, FTP,
HTTP, or HTTPS):
Generic (for all Algo 8138 Strobes) algop8138.conf
Specific (for a specific MAC address) algom[MAC].conf
Both protocol and path is supported for Option 66, allowing for http://myserver.com/config-
path to be used.
MD5 Checksum
In addition to the .conf file, an .md5 checksum file must also be uploaded to the
Provisioning server. This checksum file is used to verify that the .conf file is transferred
correctly without error.
A tool such as can be found at the website address below may be used to generate this
file: http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5
The application doesn’t need an installation. To use the tool, simply unzip and run the
application (md5) from a command prompt. The proper .md5 file will be generated in the
same directory.
If using the above tool, be sure to use the “-l” parameter to generate lower case letters.
Generating a generic configuration file
1. Connect 8138 to the network
2. Access the 8138 Web Interface Control Panel
3. Configure the 8138 with desired options
4. Click on the System tab and then Maintenance.
5. Click “Download” to download the current configuration file
6. Save the file settings.txt
7. Rename file settings.txt to algop8138.conf
8. File algop8138.conf can now be uploaded onto the Provisioning server
