One question. What happens to the provider passwords, as they are saved as '*********', and therefore, when restored to the SPA, is the SPA ignoring them, or overwritting with incorrect password. causing registration failure? Haven't checked this out myself yet.

Yes, this utility should be a sticky.

Good to see all is well now.

The asterisks are what the sipura gets sent by the web browser when there is a password assigned, but not changed. The sipura seems to just ignore it without altering the password. All passwords on the sipura seem to work this way.

Thanks for the details deavod,

I was able to locate the problem easily with your information.

It was in some common code that I'm using to write a new version of the program with so it's good to clean that section up. The next version is probably about a week or 2 away (depends on time availability) and will be able to work with multiple devices.

I received your email, but was not able to reply to it. Following is my reply.

Hi Christian,

Thanks for the info.

The bug had been reported (only about 12 hours ago) on voxilla. I posted a fix about an hour ago. Try downloading the file again from http://www.dualarrow.com and let me know if that fixes the problem.

What was happening is that if you dropped the sipura icon onto a configuration file more than once during a session with the program, it would append the data to the file rather than creating a fresh one. It shouldnt have affected the validity of saving the configuration back to the sipura, but it was slowing things down a small amount and making the files a bit more confusing.

Andrew

The SipuraUtil.exe is also working fine on the Sipura SPA-841 - Great !!

Interesting! I snoop with 'wget' eg. wget -r http://192.168.1.x/admin
(x = Sipura3K address) and got back lots of data. I guess having a list of parameters will help in deciphering what they all mean and upload from a file will also be possible. I somehow can not use --http-user=USER and --http-passwd=PASS to get through admin password, anyone?

thx

When I enter my IP address in the option-configuration and drag and drop, I get unable to get sipura configuration. What am I doing wrong?...

For using this utility, do I need to remove my admin password?...

[dualarrow]

sri70s1,

Yes, you have to remove the password. I was not able to get the program to accept it. When you have finished using it, re-apply your password.

I have just finished a program to compliment dualarrow's, called
SPAConfDiff.

Available for download at http://members.iinet.net.au/~marner/spa/

About SPA Config Diff

SPA Config Diff came about from the need to compare my saved Sipura 3000 ATA Configs, after making changes and testing.

In the process, I converted the saved '.Sipura' files (from SipuraUtil.exe) to Human Readable text Files, via a lookup table (SipuraConst.Dat). Next I needed a compare or diff component to compare my newly generated TXT files, with the ability to only show the differences. Angus Johnson's freeware component TDiff (see README.TXT) found it's way into my library. I have taken the liberty of adding my '.Sipura' converting routines to Angus's TDiff utility program, to form a customised diff program for the SipuraUtil saved config files (SipuraUtil is a program written by Andrew (sipurautil-AT-dualarrow.com)).

Hopefully, with this utility, it will make it easier for those trying to work out why user X's SPA works, and user Y's doesn't, by making the 'DIFFerences' in configs clearer.

Operation

SPAConfigDiff.exe, allows the user to load 1 or 2 files.

If the file extension is '.Sipura', then the file is automatically converted to a text file, before loading.

If 2 files are loaded, then they can be compared, by pressing the Compare button, or from the drop down menu. An option in the drop down menus also allows to Ignore Blanks, Ignore Case and Show Diffs Only. The program remembers these settings for next time the program is run.

A report of the Compare can also be saved from the File menu.

Drag & Drop is supported, by dragging a previously converted or unconverted '.Sipura' config file to the File 1 frame, or File 2 frame, the file is loaded (and converted if needed), ready for compare.

Also handy is ability to 'Copy' the relevant sections, for posting in Forums.


My thanks go out to Andrew, for his handy SipuraUtil program, and to Angus for his TDiff program. Also to all those helpful souls on all the VOIP forums, that have helped me, and others, come to grips with these wonderful ATA's.

I don't know about the Sipura ATA boxes, but for the 841's you have have it load an xml file containing the configuration. The format of the XML file is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<flat-profile>
<Headset ua="na">8</Headset>
<Voice_Mail_Number ua="na">5551234</Voice_Mail_Number>
<Text_Logo ua="na">Joe's%0aDry Cleaners</Text_Logo>
...

</flat-profile>

First - thanks guys got them working! But....

SipuraUtil does not display the "New File" icon when I have my screen settings at 125DPI - I use this because I have a 14" LCD screen that is "hi-res" 1400x1050. I've seen this in other programs, they assume 96DPI and then icons and text "get lost". Workaround - create one or more dummy files with names xyz.Sipura and then overwrite those with drag and drop.

SPAConfigDiff - Sometimes when I drag/drop or open a file from a different folder - it doesn't appear in the window. It seems nothing happens.
