Step 8
The Provisioning tab in the admin/advanced page contains a number of configurable parameters specific
to provisioning. Select the Provisioning tab, and inspect the values of the general purpose parameters
GPP_A through GPP_P.
These should be empty.
Step 9
To resync the test SPA to the
browser.
Assuming the PC IP address is 192.168.1.200:
http://192.168.1.100/admin/resync?tftp://192.168.1.200/basic.txt
This resync URL method is designed for development and testing. When it receives this command, the
SPA at address 192.168.1.100 requests the file
192.168.1.200. It then parses the downloaded file and updates the GPP_A parameter with the value
12345678.
Step 10
Verify that the parameter was correctly updated by refreshing the admin/advanced page on the PC web
browser and selecting the Provisioning tab on that page.
The GPP_A parameter should now contain the value 12345678.

Syslog

The SPA sends a syslog message to a syslog server when the SPA is about to resync to a provisioning
server and after the resync has either completed or failed. This server is identified in the web server
administration (admin/advanced, System tab, Syslog_Server parameter). It is instructive to configure the
syslog server IP address into the SPA and observe the messages generated during each exercise.
Exercise
Step 1
Install and activate a syslog server on the local PC.
Step 2
Program the PC IP address into the Syslog_Server parameter, and submit the change.
Click the System tab and enter the value of your local syslog server into the Syslog_Server parameter.
Step 3
Repeat the TFTP Resync operation described in the previous exercise.
The SPA generates two syslog messages during the resync. The first indicates that a request is in
progress. The second marks success or failure of the resync.
Step 4
Verify that your syslog server received messages such as the following:
SPA-2102 00:0e:08:ab:cd:ef –- Requesting resync tftp://192.168.1.200/basic.txt
SPA-2102 00:0e:08:ab:cd:ef –- Successful resync tftp://192.168.1.200/basic.txt
More detailed messages are available by programming the Debug_Server parameter (instead of the
Syslog_Server parameter) with the IP address of the syslog server, and setting the Debug_Level to a
value between 0 and 3 (3 being the most verbose).
The contents of these messages can be configured using the following parameters:
•
•
Version 3.0

Log_Resync_Request_Msg
Log_Resync_Success_Msg
configuration profile, open the following URL from the PC
