Mitel 6800 Series SIP Phone Release 4.2.0 Administrator Guide
CONFIGURATION SERVER PROTOCOL
You can download new versions of firmware and configuration files from the configuration server
to the IP phone using any of the following types of protocols: TFTP, FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS.
For each Protocol, you can specify the path for which the configuration files are located on the
server. For HTTP and HTTPS, you can also specify the port number to use for downloading
the phone configuration. For FTP, you can configure a Username and Password that are
authenticated by the FTP server.
The TFTP setting is the default download protocol. You can configure the type of protocol that
the IP phones use by setting it in the configuration files, the IP phone UI, or the Mitel Web UI.
Note: For DHCP to automatically populate the IP address or domain name for the TFTP,
FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS server, your DHCP server must support download protocol as
referenced in RFC2131 and RFC1541 for Option 66. For more information, see this
chapter, the section,
