The Provisioning Process - Snom M100 KLE Administrator And Provisioning Manual

The Provisioning Process

The automatic provisioning process is as follows:
1. Check for new or updated configuration files. For file-checking options, see
"Provisioning" on page 95
page
KLE compares its current configuration against the files it finds on the provisioning
server.
If provisioning has been triggered by the resync timer expiring or by remote
check-sync, the M100 KLE checks for updated files after one minute of inactivity.
2. Download the configuration files.
If any file on the provisioning server has changed, the M100 KLE treats it as a new file
and downloads it.
If the provisioning URL specifies a path only with no filename, then by default the M100
KLE looks for and retrieves the following two files:


The <model> variable is the Snom product model: M100 KLE, for example.
If the provisioning URL specifies both a path and filename, then the M100 KLE retrieves
only the configuration file specified.
3. The M100 KLE restarts after one minute of inactivity.
During provisioning, the M100 KLE reads the configuration file and validates each module
and setting. The M100 KLE considers a setting valid if it is:
a valid data type

formatted as a valid setting

within a valid data range

part of a module that passes an integrity check. That is, the module's settings are

consistent and logical. For example, in the "network" module, if DHCP is disabled,
but no static IP address is specified, the module will fail the integrity check and
none of the settings will apply.
Invalid modules or invalid settings are skipped and logged as ERROR messages in the
system log, but will not interrupt the provisioning process. The system log will include the
module parameters that have not been applied. A recognized module with unrecognized
settings will cause all other settings in that module to be skipped.
A successful configuration or firmware update is reported as an INFO message in the
system log.
