Provisioning
Provisioning refers to the process of acquiring and applying new settings for the VDP650
using configuration files retrieved from a remote computer. After a VDP650 is deployed,
subsequent provisioning can update the VDP650 with new settings; for example, if your
service provider releases new features. See also
on page
With automatic provisioning, you enable the VDP650 to get its settings automatically—the
process occurs in the background as part of routine system operation. Automatic
provisioning can apply to multiple devices simultaneously.
With manual provisioning on the WebUI, you update the VDP650 settings (configuration
and/or firmware) yourself via Provisioning > Import Configuration and/or Firmware
Upgrade > Manual Upgrade. Manual provisioning can only be performed on one
VDP650 at a time.
On the Provisioning page, you can enter settings that will enable the VDP650 to receive
automatic configuration and firmware updates. The Provisioning page also allows you to
manually update VDP650 configuration from a locally stored configuration file using an
Import function. You can also export the VDP650 configuration—either to back it up or
apply the configuration to another VDP650 in the future—to a file on your computer.
The provisioning process functions according to the Resynchronization settings and
Provisioning Server Settings. The VDP650 checks for the provisioning URL from the
following sources in the order listed below:
1. PnP—Plug and Play Subscribe and Notify protocol
2. DHCP Options
3. Preconfigured URL—Any VDP650 updated to the latest firmware release will have the
Redirection Server URL available as the default Provisioning Server URL (see
"provisioning.server_address" on page
Using the Redirection Service requires contacting the VTech support team for an
account.
If one of these sources is disabled, not available, or has not been configured, the VDP650
proceeds to the next source until reaching the end of the list.
The provisioning settings are also available as parameters in the configuration file. See
