11.0 Using Configuration Files
The module allows configuration files, describing a predefined device configuration, to be
delivered and stored on the module. There are several advantages to using the
configuration files instead of command line or web interface input when configuring the
module, the process is not only quicker but is less error prone and can better support
configuration control, en mass and in-field updates.
There are two types of configuration file that can be delivered to the module, these are:
User This configuration file contains configuration information from a particular installation.
These parameters are ones which may change from location to location within multiple
or single deployments of devices. The file which contains these parameters is called
user_config.txt.
OEM This configuration file contains parameters that would be specific to the required factory
defaults of the module integrator. These would represent the out-of-the-box
configuration for the OEM product or a pre-defined configuration known by installers or
technicians. The file which contains these parameters is called oem_config.txt.
The two types of configuration file provide an option for the user to establish a set of their
own factory defaults should a module need to be redeployed or recovered, or an installer
incorrectly configures the device. When the device is to be recovered or redeployed the
user may use the factory RESET command or hardware input to return the configuration
to its original factory state. When the factory RESET is performed the
user_config.txt file is deleted but the oem_config.txt is retained.
The user type configuration file supports encryption of sensitive parameters, like
passwords, passphrases and keys. To use this option it is necessary to turn on the
encryption, section 12.0 describes how to use this feature.
The module supports delivery of the configuration files using either Xmodem or the built-
in FTP client; Table 23 outlines the processes for creating, delivering and managing the
configuration file options.
