Parameters for Configuration Method and Encryption
CfgInterval
Description
Use this parameter to specify the number of seconds between each configuration update. The CiscoATA
will also upgrade its signaling image if it detects that the TFTP server contains an upgraded image.
For example, when using TFTP for configuration, the Cisco ATA contacts TFTP each time the interval
expires to get its configuration file.
You can set CfgInterval to a random value to achieve random contact intervals from the CiscoATA to
the TFTP server.

EncryptKey
Description
This parameter specifies the encryption key that is used to encrypt the CiscoATA configuration file on
the TFTP server.
The cfgfmt tool, which is used to create a Cisco ATA binary configuration file (see the “Using
Encryption With the cfgfmt Tool” section on page3-12), automatically encrypts the binary file when the
EncryptKey parameter has a value other than 0. The cfgfmt tool uses the rc4 encryption algorithm.
If this parameter value is set to 0, the CiscoATA configuration file on the TFTP server is not encrypted.
Note Cisco recommends using the stronger CiscoATA encryption method, which requires the use of the
EncryptKeyEx parameter. For more information, see the “EncryptKeyEx” section on page5-7.
For examples on how to upgrade from the EncryptKey parameter to the stronger encryption method that
uses the EncryptKeyEx parameter, see the “Examples of Upgrading to Stronger Encryption Key” section
on page 3-15.
