Using The Auto-Resync Feature - Aastra BLUESTAR 8000I Pbx-Mode Administrator Manual

Configuration Server

Using the Auto-Resync Feature

The auto-resync feature on the BluStar 8000i allows an administrator to enable the BluStar 8000i to be updated automat-
ically once a day at a specific time in a 24-hour period if the files on the server have changed. This feature works with
TFTP, FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS servers. An administrator can enable this feature using the configuration files (aastra.cfg,
<model>.cfg, and <mac>.cfg).
In the configuration files, you can set the following parameters:
• "auto resync mode" - Determines whether the configuration server automatically updates the BluStar 8000i's config-
uration files or disables automatic updates. This parameter works with TFTP, FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS servers.
• "auto resync time" - Sets the time of day in a 24-hour period for the BluStar 8000i to be automatically updated. This
parameter works with TFTP, FTP, HTTP and HTTPS servers.
• "auto resync max delay" - Specifies the maximum time, in minutes, the BluStar 8000i waits past the scheduled time
before starting a checksync. Setting the "auto resync max delay" (Maximum Delay) parameter can greatly reduce the
load placed on the configuration server when downloading configurations.
Notes:
• Any changes made using the BluStar 8000i are not overwritten by an auto-resync update. Auto-resync affects the
• configuration files only.
• If the BluStar 8000i is in use (not idle) at the time of the resync check, the reboot occurs when the BluStar 8000i
becomes idle.
• The resync time is based on the local time of the BluStar 8000i.
• The automatic update feature works with both encrypted and plain text configuration files.
