Configuration Changes

We are moving away from hand editing SMG configuration files, and moving toward using the smgcfgXX.py tool. XX is the version. We are currently using 01 and working on 02 now.

The tool uses a .csv file as input and the output are the wanpipe, ss7box, and ss7boost conf files. The .csv file comes from the export function in any spreadsheet program.

We support googledocs spreadsheets:

The smgcfgXX.py program is a Python script and is included with each SMG release.

We are working on an improvement where the smgcfg.py script will read the revision number in the .csv file and use the corresponding smgcfgXX.py script to continue processing.
