Note:
1. The Only acceptable Config file formats to be used when provisioning are XML or binary.
2. Make sure the MAC header on the Config file is the provisioned device’s MAC address or you can remove
the header completely.
Firmware and Configuration File Prefix and Postfix
Firmware Prefix and Postfix allows device to download the firmware name with the matching Prefix and
Postfix. This makes it possible to store ALL of the firmwares with different version in one single directory.
Similarly, Config File Prefix and Postfix allows device to download the configuration file with the matching
Prefix and Postfix. Thus multiple configuration files for the same device can be stored in one directory.
In addition, when the field “Check New Firmware only when F/W pre/suffix changes” is selected, the device
will only issue firmware upgrade request if there are changes in the firmware Prefix or Postfix.
Managing Firmware and Configuration File Download
When “Automatic Upgrade” is set to “Yes”, Service Provider can use P193 to have the devices periodically
check with either Firmware Server or Config Server, whenever they are defined. This allows the device
periodically check whether there is any new changes need to be taken, similar to the Anti-Virus Software to
upgrade the Virus Definition files. Screenshot is below:
Automatic Upgrade:

minutes (60-5256000).

(0-23). Yes, weekly on day
(0-6).
