Description
Relative mode: enables phones to check for

software or configuration upgrades after every X
seconds. You can set the value of X in parameter
prov_polling_period.
Absolute mode: enables phones to check for

software or configuration upgrades at an exact time,
based on the 24-hour clock. You can set the time in
the parameter prov_polling_time.
Random mode: enables phones to check for

software or configuration upgrades randomly. The
randomness depends on the period set in
prov_polling_period. If the period is less than one
day, phones will check for upgrades at any time of
the period randomly. If the period is greater than
one day, for example 3 days, phones will check for
upgrades within 3 days randomly and depend on
the time period between the values in
prov_polling_time and
prov_polling_time_rand_end randomly also.
Random Case 1: prov_polling_period >= 1 day
prov_polling_enabled=on
prov_polling_mode=random
prov_polling_period=86400
prov_polling_time=18:00
prov_polling_time_rand_end=18:10
This case will have provisioning every day between
18:00-18:10, starting from the next day after setting being
set. A general rule: If prov_polling_period >= 1 day,
provisioning will occur randomly in specific time interval
inside this prov_polling_period.
Random Case 1: prov_polling_period <= 1 day
prov_polling_enabled=on
prov_polling_mode=random
prov_polling_period=3600
prov_polling_time=18:00
prov_polling_time_rand_end=18:10
This case the period is 3600s and will have provisioning
checked at intervals randomly selected between 0 and 3600
seconds, regardless of the time start and time end.
A general rule: if the period is less than one day, phones will
check for upgrades at any time of the prov_polling_period
randomly. Time start and end is not used in this case.
