SIP User's Manual 4. ini File Configuration
4.2.3 Structure of ini File Table Parameters
You can use anini file to configure table parameters, which include several parameters
(table columns) grouped according to the applications they configure (e.g., NFS and
IPSec). When loading an ini file to the device, it's recommended to include only tables that
belong to applications that are to be configured (dynamic tables of other applications are
empty, but static tables are not).
A table is defined as a secret table (i.e., concealed) if it contains at least one secret data
field or if it depends on another secret table. For example, in the IPSec application, IPSec
tables are defined as secret tables as the IKE table contains a pre-shared key that must be
concealed. Therefore, the SPD table that depends on the IKE table is defined as a secret
table as well. Secret tables are always concealed when loading an ini file to the device.
However, there is a commented title that states that the secret table exists in the device, but
is not to be revealed. Secret tables are always stored in the device's non-volatile memory
and can be overwritten by new tables that are provided in a new ini file. If a secret table
appears in an ini file, it replaces the current table regardless of its content. To delete a
secret table from the device, include an empty table of the same type (with no data lines) as
part of a new ini file.
The ini file table parameter is composed of the following elements:
Title of the table: The name of the table in square brackets (e.g.,
[MY_TABLE_NAME]).
Format line: Specifies the columns (parameters) of the table (by their string names)
that are to be configured.
• The first word of the Format line must be 'FORMAT', followed by the Index field
name, and then an equal (=) sign. After the equal sign, the names of the
parameters (items) are listed.
• Items must be separated by a comma (,).
• The Format line must only include columns that can be modified (i.e., parameters
that are not specified as read-only). An exception is Index fields that are always
mandatory.
• The Format line must end with a semicolon (;).
Data line(s): Contain the actual values of the parameters. The values are interpreted
according to the Format line.
• The first word of the Data line must be the table’s string name followed by the
Index field.
• Items must be separated by a comma (,).
• A Data line must end with a semicolon (;).
End-of-Table Mark: Indicates the end of the table. The same string used for the
table’s title, preceded by a backslash (\), e.g., [\MY_TABLE_NAME].
