Obtaining Cisco ATA Configuration File After Failed Attempt

The Cisco ATA uses the following formula for determining how soon to contact the TFTP server for the Cisco ATA configuration file after a failed attempt at getting the file. The result of the formula is called the random back-off amount.

random back-off amount = CfgInterval + random(min(1800, CfgInterval))

where

•CfgInterval is the value of the CfgInterval configuration parameter (in seconds). For more information about this parameter, see the “CfgInterval” section on page 5-5.

•random(x) function yields a value between 0 and x-1.

•min(x,y) function yields the smaller value of x and y.

Upgrading the MGCP Signaling Image

For instructions on how to upgrade the Cisco ATA to the most recent MGCP signaling image, refer to the following list:

•To use the recommended TFTP method of upgrading the Cisco ATA, see the “Upgrading the Signaling Image from a TFTP Server” section on page 7-1.

•In the rare instance that you are not using the TFTP server to configure the Cisco ATA and to obtain software upgrades, you must manually upgrade to the latest signaling image immediately after the Cisco ATA boots up. In this case, see the “Upgrading the Signaling Image Manually” section on page 7-2.
