The Provisioning Process - VTech ErisTerminal VSP600A 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 62
page
VSP600A 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 VSP600A checks for updated files after one minute of inactivity.
2. Download the configuration files.
If any file on the provisioning server has changed, the VSP600A treats it as a new file
and downloads it.
If the provisioning URL specifies a path only with no filename, then by default the
VSP600A looks for and retrieves the following two files:


The <model> variable is the VTech product model: VSP600A, for example.
If the provisioning URL specifies both a path and filename, then the VSP600A retrieves
only the configuration file specified.
3. The VSP600A restarts after one minute of inactivity.
During provisioning, the VSP600A reads the configuration file and validates each module
and setting. The VSP600A 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.
See "Configuration File Parameter Guide" on page 80
available for each configuration file setting.
