I have read the provisioning and administrators manuals for the SPA841. I am now creating my own configuration files. Here is a small sample of an xml configuration file that I have named spa841.cfg that does some pre-provisioning. It works fine.

<flat-profile>
<DHCP>Yes</DHCP>
<Debug_Server> syslog.domain.com </Debug_Server>
<Syslog_Server> syslog.domain.com </Syslog_Server>
<Debug_Level> 2 </Debug_Level>
<Primary_NTP_Server> ntp.nasa.gov </Primary_NTP_Server>
<Secondary_NTP_Server> time.nist.gov </Secondary_NTP_Server>
<Provision_Enable> yes </Provision_Enable>
<Forced_Resync_Delay>1200</Forced_Resync_Delay>
<Downgrade_Rev_Limit> 3.1.4(a) </Downgrade_Rev_Limit>
<Time_Zone> GMT-05:00 </Time_Zone>
<Daylight_Saving_Time_Rule> start=4/2/7/2:0:0;end=10/-2/7/2:0:0;save=1 </Daylight_Saving_Time_Rule>
</flat-profile>

Now I have a question. There are several working lines that have duplicate groups of configuration parameters. I have recreated a demo fragment of a .cfg file below that is designed to provision these line parameters. I know that I have made a mistake in my understanding of how to address these line parameters, because the file doesn't work. Does anyone know what mistake I have made?

<flat-profile>
<NAT_Mapping_Enable[1]> No </NAT_Mapping_Enable[1]>
<NAT_Keep_Alive_Enable[1]> No </NAT_Keep_Alive_Enable[1]>
<Use_Outbound_Proxy[1]> No </Use_Outbound_Proxy[1]>
<Register_Expires[1]> 360 </Register_Expires[1]>
<Proxy_Fallback_Intvl[1]> 360 </Proxy_Fallback_Intvl[1]>
</flat-profile>

Thanks in advance for any corrections.

From a web search I did a while back (no experience as to if it actually works), you might try

<NAT_Mapping_Enable_1>

instead of

<NAT_Mapping_Enable[1]>

For those entries that are indexed array values.

Question: I have been unable to find a provisioning manual for the SPA-841. Where did you get your copy?

I have just tested this solution, and it failed. Thanks for your suggestion nonetheless, atheling.

On the Sipura support page where all the other manuals and firmware upgrades are located. It's rather elementary, assumes a great deal, and not very helpful, but it's there. This question for instance should not be necessary if the manual were a little more specific. I am always resentful of inadequately written manuals, it's like they want to keep something from you, after you've paid them for it, but I'll get to it. I'm furious with Cisco.

There is a sample 841 XML file at:

http://www.sipura.com/support/spa841faq/sample-841.xml

It looks like a trailing underscore is needed for those index numbers:

<NAT_Mapping_Enable_1_>

Thanks for pointing out the provisioning guide link. I am sure that was not there when I last looked at their site. Nor, for that matter, were the admin or user guides for the 841. I had to dig out links for those from other VoIP site pages. The fact that they are now posted in the open on their support site gives me some hope for better public support (as opposed to OEM support which I suspect they put more effort into).

That's it! Thank you atheling, much appreciated. Thank you for the link to the sample XML file, it did the trick.
