SIP User's Manual 4. INI File Configuration
4 INI File Configuration
An alternative to configuring the device using the Web interface (as described in ''Web-
Based Management'' on page 25) i
s by loading an ini file to the device containing user-
defined parameters. The ini file can be loaded using the following method:
îš„ Web interface (refer to ''Backing Up and Restoring Configuration'' on page 244)
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:
• For a list and description of the ini file parameters, refer to ''Configuration
Parameters Reference'' on page 291.
• Some parameters are configurable only through the ini file (and not the
Web interface).
• To define or restore default settings using the ini file, refer to ''Default
Settings'' on page 439.
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 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: The procedure for loading an encoded ini file is identical to the procedure for
loading an unencoded ini file.
4.2 INI File Format
The ini file can include any number of parameters and of the following types:
îš„ Individual parameters, which can be conveniently grouped (optional) by their
functionality (refer to ''Structure of Individual ini File Parameters'' on page 272)
îš„ Table pa
rameters, which include multiple individual parameters (refer to ''Structure of
ini File Table Parameters'' on page 273)
