Configuring the Cisco ATA Using a TFTP Server
Run the cfgfmt.exe tool, which is bundled with the Cisco ATA software, on the ata<macaddress>.txt
Step 3
text file to generate the binary configuration file. If you wish to encrypt the binary file, see the
Encryption With the cfgfmt Tool" section on page
The syntax of the cfgfmt program follows:
Syntax
cfgfmt [Encryption options] -sccp -tptag.dat input-text-file output-binary-file

–
Example
cfgfmt -sccp -tptag.dat ata0a141e28323c.txt ata0a141e28323c
This example is based on a Cisco ATA MAC address of 10.20.30.40.50.60, which converts to the
two-digit, lower-case hexadecimal representation of each integer as 0a141e28323c.
Store all binary configuration file(s) in the TFTP server root directory. For information about possible
Step 4
configuration file names, see the
page 3-14.
Step 5 Reset the Cisco ATA using the Cisco CallManager. (See the
CallManager" section on page
After being reset, the Cisco ATA will download this ata<macaddress> binary configuration file as its
unique configuration file. This file takes precedence over the atadefault.cfg file. If the Cisco ATA finds
an ata<macaddress> file on the TFTP server, the Cisco ATA does not look for the atadefault.cfg file.

Encryption options are described in the
page 3-13.
sccp is the protocol you are using, which you must specify so that the cfgfmt tool will include
only the applicable protocol in the converted output binary file.
The ptag.dat file, provided with the Cisco ATA software version you are running, is used by
cfgfmt.exe to format a text input representation of the parameter/value pairs to its output binary
representation. Be sure this file resides in the same directory from which you are running the
cfgfmt program.
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.
