Nortel Networks TP-1610 SIP user manual Tftp Preferences

Mediant 2000 SIP

•ARP Type: The type of entry made into the ARP cache on the computer, once ARP Manipulation is enabled, can be either Dynamic or Static. Dynamic entries expire after a period of time, keeping the cache clean so that stale entries do not consume computer resources. The Dynamic setting is the default setting and the setting most often used. Static entries do not expire.

•Number of Timed Replies: This feature is useful for communicating to VoIP gateways that are located behind a firewall that would block their BootRequest messages from getting through to the computer that is running the BootP Tool. You can set this value to any whole digit. Once set, the BootP Tool can send that number of BootReply messages to the destination immediately after you send a remote reset to a VoIP gateway at a valid IP address. This enables the replies to get through to the VoIP gateway even if the BootRequest is blocked by the firewall. To turn off this feature, set the Number of Timed Replies = 0.

B.10.2 TFTP Preferences

•Enabled: To enable the TFTP functionality of the BootP Tool, check the box beside this heading. If you want to use another TFTP application, other than the one included with the BootP Tool, unselect the box.

•On Interface: This pull down menu displays all network interfaces currently available on the computer. Select the interface that you want to use for the TFTP. Normally, there is only one choice.

•Directory: This option is enabled only when the TFTP is enabled. Use this parameter to specify the folder that contains the files for the TFTP utility to manage (cmp, ini, Call Progress Tones, etc.).

•Boot File Mask: Boot File Mask specifies the file extension used by the TFTP utility for the boot file that is included in the BootReply message. This is the file that contains VoIP gateway software and normally appears as cmp.

•ini File Mask: ini File mask specifies the file extension used by the TFTP utility for the configuration file that is included in the BootReply message. This is the file that contains VoIP gateway configuration parameters and normally appears as ini.

•Timeout: This specifies the number of seconds that the TFTP utility waits before retransmitting TFTP messages. This can be left at the default value of 5 (the more congested your network, the higher the value you should define in these fields).

•Maximum Retransmissions: This specifies the number of times that the TFTP utility tries to resend messages after timing out. This can be left at the default value of 10 (the more congested your network, the higher the value you should define in these fields).
