Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server Chapter 3 Configuring the Cisco ATA for H.323 Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server The TFTP method of configuration is useful when you have many Cisco ATA because you can use a TFTP server for remote, batch configuration of Cisco ATAs. A TFTP server can host one unique configuration file for each Cisco ATA. This section contains the following topics: • Setting Up the TFTP Server with Cisco ATA Software, page 3-8 • Configurable Features and Related Parameters, page 3-8 • Creating Unique and Common Cisco ATA Configuration Files, page 3-9 • atadefault.cfg Configuration File, page 3-17 • Configuring the Cisco ATA to Obtain its Configuration File from the TFTP Server, page 3-18 Setting Up the TFTP Server with Cisco ATA Software This section provides the procedure for the Cisco ATA administrator to obtain the correct Cisco ATA software and set up the TFTP server with this software. Procedure Step 1 Step 2 If you are a registered CCO user. go to the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/ata186 Download the zip file that contains the software for the applicable release and signaling image you are using. The contents of each file are described next to the file name. Save the zip file onto a floppy disc. Note The file that contains the protocol signaling image has an extension of .zup. Step 3 Extract the signaling files onto the TFTP server. This should be the same TFTP server that will contain the binary Cisco ATA configuration file that you create (either ata with a possible file extension or atadefault.cfg). For information about possible configuration file names, see the "Configuration Files that the cfgfmt Tool Creates" section on page 3-13. Configurable Features and Related Parameters Table 4-1 on page 4-2 contains a list of all required H.323 parameters. These parameters must be properly configured for the Cisco ATA to work. For descriptions of important Cisco ATA H.323 services that you can configure, and references to their configuration parameters, see the "Important Basic H.323 Services" section on page 4-1 and the "Additional H.323 Services" section on page 4-7. Table 4-4 on page 4-12 lists, in alphabetical order, various features that you can configure for the Cisco ATA. Table 4-4 on page 4-12 also includes links to the related parameter that allows you to configure each of these features. Each link takes you to a detailed description of the parameter that includes its default values.
