Configuring an ini File

There are different methods that you can use for configuring an ini file before you upload it to the device.

Modifying the device's current ini file: This method is recommended if you mainly need to change the settings of parameters that you have previously configured.
a. Save the device's current configuration as an ini file on your computer, using the Web interface (see Saving Configuration).
b. Open the file using a text file editor, and then modify the ini file as required.
c. Save and close the file.
d. Upload the file to the device.
Creating a new ini file that includes only updated configuration:
a. Open a text file editor such as Notepad.
b. Add only the required parameters and their settings.
c. Save the file with the ini file extension name (e.g., myconfiguration.ini).
d. Upload the file to the device.

For uploading ini files to the device, see Loading an ini File to the Device.

If you save an ini file from the device and a table row is configured with invalid values, the ini file displays the row prefixed with an exclamation mark (!), for example:

!CpMediaRealm 1 = "ITSP", "Voice", "", 60210, 2, 6030, 0, "", "";

To restore the device to default settings through the ini file, see Restoring Factory Defaults.
