Creating a Default Configuration File

This section explains how to create a default configuration file (*.ipk) for automatic configuration. When

applying this file to CPEs, all the parameters will automatically be configured with the values from the

file. When resetting the unit to factory defaults - this file is reloaded, overriding any configuration

changes you may have performed on the CPE.

Creating a configuration file involves converting a *.tar file into an *.ipk file.

When the *.ipk file is ready, copy it onto a CDROM along with the subscriber documentation and

include it in the CPE package.
