Configuration File Parameters for SIP Provisioning

This article is applicable to all IP Stations (Turbine and INCA stations) operating in SIP mode.

Remote Provisioning using TFTP

An IP station may be set up to automatically poll configuration from a TFTP server. The IP address of this TFTP server can be obtained using DHCP procedures or be manually configured.

The IP station will first try to download the global configuration file:

ipst_config.cfg

Then the IP station will download a device specific configuration file:

ipst_config_01_02_03_04_05_06.cfg

where 01_02_03_04_05_06 is the MAC address of the IP station.

If the same parameter is found in both files, the value from the device specific file takes precedence.

General Parameters

• Required: No. If this parameter is not set in the file, the function will be disabled.
• Description: This parameter enables the station to automatically look for software updates on the TFTP server.
• Values: Number of minutes to wait between each server request. Value must be between 1 and 999.
