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
–
-eRC4Password is 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-file is the input text file representation of the Cisco ATA configuration file.
–
output-binary-file is 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.)
