Automatic Update Mechanism

This chapter describes the device's Automatic Updated mechanism.
40.1

Overview of Automatic Update Mechanism

The device's Automatic Update mechanism can be used for automatic provisioning.
Automatic provisioning is useful for large-scale deployment of devices. In some cases, the
devices are shipped to the end customer directly from the manufacturer. In other cases,
they may pass through a staging warehouse. Configuration may occur at the staging
warehouse or at the end-customer premises.
The devices may be preconfigured during the manufacturing process (commonly known as
private labeling). Typically, a two-stage configuration process is implemented whereby
initial configuration includes only basic configuration, while the final configuration is done
only when the device is deployed in the live network.

40.1.1 Files Updated by Automatic Update

The Automatic Update mechanism can be used to update the following device files:

Software file (cmp)

Auxiliary files (e.g., Call Progress Tones, SSL Cerrtificates)

Configuration file (ini)

40.1.2 File Location for Automatic Update

The files that you want to automatically update on the device can be stored on any
standard Web (HTTP/S), FTP, or NFS server. The files can be loaded periodically to the
device using HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, or NFS. This mechanism can be used even when the
device is installed behind NAT and firewalls.
The Automatic Update mechanism is done per file. This is configured by specifying, for
each file, the file name and URL address of the provisioning server where the file is
located. For a description of the parameters used to configure this, see ''Automatic Update
Parameters'' on page 717.
Below are examples for configuring the file names and their location for Automatic Update:

ini File:
IniFileURL = 'http://www.corp.com/configuration.ini'
CptFileURL = 'http://www.corp.com/call_progress.dat'
AutoCmpFileUrl = 'http://www.corp.com/SIP_F6.80A.008.cmp

CLI:
# configure system
(config-system)# automatic update
(automatic-update)# voice-configuration http://www.corp.com/configuration.ini
(automatic-update)# cal-progress-tone http://www.corp.com/call_progress.dat
(automatic-update)# auto-firmware http://www.corp.com/SIP_F6.80A.008.cmp
