MULTIPLE CONFIGURATION SERVER SUPPORT

An Administrator has the option of specifying whether the phones get their firmware file, CSV
directory files, language packs, TLS certificate files, 802.1x certificate files, and HTTPS files
from the original configuration server or from another server in the network. This feature allows
you to specify the URL of other servers from which the phone can get this information.
FIRMWARE FILES AND MULTIPLE CONFIGURATION SERVERS
The firmware file for the phones can be downloaded from the original configuration server or
from another server specified by a URL. You can specify a valid full or partial URL (server IP
address) from which the phones get the firmware using a new parameter called, "firmware
server" in the configuration files. If a full URL is specified for this parameter, the phones in the
network get the security.tuz, startup.cfg, <model>.cfg, and <mac>.cfg files from the original
configuration server, and the firmware files from the server specified in the URL.
When the "firmware server" parameter specifies a partial URL path, the configuration server
that is linked to the partial path is used to load the firmware.
For example,
firmware server: /path
When there is no "firmware server" parameter (or if it is empty), the original configuration
server is used to load the firmware.
Note: The default method for the download of all files and firmware to the phones is
from the original configuration server. The Administrator must specify a correct full or
partial server URL for the phones to get their firmware information from that server. If
the URL is incorrect, no firmware download occurs to the phones from the specified
server.
Examples
