Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for SCCP

Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server

The syntax of the cfgfmt program follows:

Syntax

cfgfmt [-eRC4Password] -tpTagFile input-text-file output-binary-file

–-eRC4Passwordis the optional RC 4key to encrypt the binary TFTP file provided by the cfgfmt program (up to eight alphanumeric characters).

–pTagFile is the command used to specify the ptag.dat file that is provided with the Cisco ATA software version you are running. Search on the keyword ptag to find the complete name of the ptag file that is included with the Cisco ATA software for the signaling protocol you are using. Be sure this file resides in the same directory from which you are running the cfgfmt program. The ptag.dat file is used by cfgfmt.exe to format a text input representation of the parameter/value pairs to its output binary representation.

–input-text-fileis the input text file representation of the Cisco ATA configuration file.

–output-binary-fileis the final output binary file that Cisco ATA uses as the TFTP configuration file.

Example

cfgfmt -tmgcp_ptag.dat atadefault.txt atadefault.cfg

Step 4 Store the binary configuration file in the TFTP server root directory, overwriting the atadefault.cfg file that came bundled with the release-software download.

During the boot-up process, the Cisco ATA will download this file as its configuration file unless it first finds a Cisco ATA-specific configuration file named for the MAC address of the Cisco ATA. (If you want to create a MAC-address configuration file for a specific Cisco ATA, see the “Creating a Configuration File for a Specific Cisco ATA” section on page 3-12.)

Note If you want to make configuration changes after boot up, repeat the process of creating or editing the text file containing the desired parameters, then converting the text file to the binary file and storing the binary file on the TFTP server. For the configuration changes to take effect, reset the Cisco ATA. (See the “Resetting the Cisco ATA Using Cisco CallManager” section on

page 3-23.)
