SPA Configuration File

The SPA configuration profile defines the parameter values for a specific SPA device. The profile lets
you determine the value for each parameter used by the SPA and also to determine the user access to
each parameter: hidden, read-only, or read-write. Any parameters not specified by a profile are left at
the factory default values.
The SPA accepts a configuration profile in two formats:
•
•
The XML-style format lets you use standard tools to compile the parameters and values. To protect
confidential information contained in the configuration profile, this file is generally delivered from the
provisioning server to the SPA over a secure channel, provided by HTTPS. A complete example XML
profile can be generated using the Linksys profile compiler tool (see the
Compiler" section on page
spc --sample-xml sample.txt
The plain-text configuration file uses a proprietary format, which can be encrypted to prevent
unauthorized use of confidential information. By convention, the profile is named with the extension
.cfg (for example, spa2102.cfg). The Linksys Profile Compiler (SPC) tool is used to compile the
plain-text file containing parameter-value pairs into an encrypted CFG file. The SPC tool is available
from Linksys for the Win32 environment (spc.exe) and Linux-i386-elf environment
(spc-linux-i386-static). Availability of the SPC tool for the OpenBSD environment is available on a
case-by-case basis.
