Mitel 6800i Series Administrator's Manual page 67

This feature supports all the download protocols (TFTP, FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS).
Notes:
1. Once the phone has failed over to a redundant server, it continues to use that server
for all other server-related processes on the phone (i.e. firmware upgrades from the
Web UI, boot-up process, etc.).
2. If a server fails while downloading a file(s) to the phone, the phone performs the
discovery process of finding a redundant server that is available. When the boot is
complete on the redundant server, the phone tries to download the file(s) again from
the previous server. The check-sync process also performs the same way when a
server fails.
3. The "Skip" softkey displays in the event of a network outage, the user can skip the
configuration download and continue the boot.
4. All server failovers and failed server IP addresses are logged in the "Error Messages"
page on the IP Phone UI at Options->Phone Status->Error Messages.
Limitation
In certain cases, the TFTP Protocol cannot distinguish between "server down" and "no file on
server" error messages; therefore, the failover in these instances may fail.
