SRP527W .CFG file

[toddz1234]

Hello,

I need to configure 20 SRP527. What is the fastest way of doing this?  How can I edit  .CFG file?

Thank you

Hi Sean,

Please take a look at the following on using the XML provisioning interface.  I hope that this provides what you need.

Hi Andy,

Tried your suggestion and yes that is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. However, not sure if I am doing something wrong or this behavior is by design.

After modifying the name and ip address of a configuration file of a router that is set to switch mode and applying it to a new device, I see that the router is defaulted back to "DSL enable mode". Can you think of a reason for this behavior?

Thank you

Hi Sean,

Does your configuration file specifically include the following tag?

  0

Hi Andy,

Yes it does but not in that order. Would that matter?

Thank you

While the hierarchy of tags do matter, the order they appear within it should not.

So as long as comes after and before you should be fine.

As a general note, all unknown tags are ignored and where any tag appears more than once, the last occurance applies.

I must admit, I haven't specifically tried using this tag before, but I do know that changing it causes the device to factory default and reboot.  To successfully use this tag, you may need to use two steps.  The first simply to change modes (literally as my previous example), then the second to apply the working configuration to the newly selected mode (making sure NOT to include the DSL_Interface tag in the second script.

Hope that helps,

Andy

Hi Andy,

Will need to test this more but am I correct in assuming that I can take a working configuration, modify ONLY the parametters that need modification and then apply that to the device, would that that work?

Also, would it make a difference how the  configuration file is applied to the device, I am using the instruction that you provided earlier.

Thanks

Sean

Hi Sean,

Yes, this is absolutely the right way to provision the SRP500 - only modify the tags that need to be changed.

Not sure that I follow your second question.  You can use any combination of the different methods to apply configurations - resync URL, HTTP POST or periodic profile rules.  Use whichever best suits your provisioning platform or requirement of the day.

In terms of the provisioning file itself, it doesn't matter what order the tags appear, provided that the correct schema hierarchy is followed.  Voice tags are always applied first, router tags afterwards.

Hope that helps.

Hi Andy,

Sorry to be a pain. Would you kindly please take a look at this configuration and tell me what I am doing wrong.As you can see I have no need to change anything on the voice side.

I am receving "OK" message when applying it to the device. Ip address change doese take but the can not get into the voice page and still keeps switching the router back to its default DSL modem setting.

Thanks for your help.
