Administrator Guide - SoundPoint
The protocol which will be used to transfer files from the boot server depends on sev-
eral factors including the phone model and whether the bootROM or SIP application
stage of provisioning is in progress. TFTP and FTP are supported by all SoundPoint

pected behavior, see the table for details of which protocol the phone will use. The
"Specified Protocol" listed in the table can be selected in the Server Type field or the
Server Address can include a transfer protocol, for example http://usr:pwd@server
(see 2.2.1.3.3 Server Menu on page 10). The boot server address can also be obtained
via DHCP. Configuration file names in the <Ethernet address>.cfg file can include a
transfer protocol, for example https://usr:pwd@server/dir/file.cfg. If a user name and
password are specified as part of the server address or file name, they will be used only
if the server supports them.
URL Notes: A URL should contain forward slashes instead of back slashes and should
not contain spaces. Escape characters are not supported. If a user name and password
are not specified, the Server User and Server Password will be used (see 2.2.1.3.3
Server Menu on page 10).

HTTPS
For downloading the bootROM and application images to the phone, the secure
HTTPS protocol is not available. To guarantee software integrity, the bootROM will
only download signed bootROM or application images. For HTTPS, widely recog-
nized certificate authorities are trusted by the phone and custom certificates can be
added. See 6.1 Trusted Certificate Authority List on page 151. Using HTTPS
requires that SNTP be functional. Provisioning of configuration files is done by the
application instead of the bootROM and this transfer can use a secure protocol.
