The two remaining enables are Resync_On_Reset and
Resync_After_Upgrade_Attempt. These determine if the device performs a
resync operation after power-up software reboots and after each upgrade
attempt.
When enabling Resync_On_Reset, the device introduces a random delay following
the boot-up sequence before actually performing the reset. The delay is a random
time up to the value specified in Resync_Random_Delay (in seconds). In a pool of
IP Telephony devices, all of which are simultaneously powered up, this introduces
a spread in the times at which each unit initiates a resync request to the
provisioning server. This feature can be useful in a large residential deployment, in
the case of a regional power failures.
Triggers
The IP Telephony device allows you to resync at specific intervals or at a specific
time.
Resyncing at Specific Intervals
The IP Telephony device is designed to resync with the provisioning server
periodically. The resync interval is configured in Resync_Periodic (seconds). If this
value is left empty, the device does not resync periodically.
The resync typically takes place when the voice lines are idle. In case a voice line
is active when a resync is due, the IP Telephony device delays the resync
procedure until the line becomes idle again. However, it waits no longer than
Forced_Resync_Delay (seconds). A resync might cause configuration parameter
values to change. This, in turn, causes a firmware reboot and terminates any voice
connection active at the time of the resync.
If a resync operation fails because the IP Telephony device was unable to retrieve
a profile from the server, if the downloaded file is corrupt, or an internal error
occurs, the device tries to resync again after a time specified in
Resync_Error_Retry_Delay (seconds). If Resync_Error_Retry_Delay is set to 0, the
device does not try to resync again following a failed resync attempt.
When upgrading, if an upgrade fails, a retry is performed after
Upgrade_Error_Retry_Delay seconds.
Two configurable parameters are available to conditionally trigger a resync:
Resync_Trigger_1 and Resync_Trigger_2. Each of these parameters can be
programmed with a conditional expression (which undergoes macro expansion). If
the condition in any of these parameters evaluates to true, a resync operation is
triggered, as though the periodic resync timer had expired.
