Download Configuration Files - TIPTEL IP 286 Auto Provision Manual

Download configuration files

2.2
There are 2 configuration files both of which are CFG formatted that the phone will try to download from
the server. We call them Common CFG file and Phone-specific CFG file. The Common CFG file will be
effectual for all the phones of the right model. However, a Phone-specific CFG file will only be effectual for
one specific phone which can be tell by its MAC address. A common CFG file has a fixed name for each
model while a Phone-specific CFG file is named after a MAC address of a specific phone. The names of the
Common CFG file for each model are:
tiptel IP 286: y000000000000.cfg
tiptel IP 284: y000000000004.cfg
tiptel IP 280: y000000000007.cfg
There are 11 zeros between the letter y and the last number. The last number is decided by the hardware
version of the relevant model, for it is the first number of the hardware version of the model. For instance,
for a tiptel IP 286 whose MAC address is 001565113af8, the 2 configuration files for it will be:
y000000000000.cfg and 001565113af8.cfg.
To have this name division on configuration files will help when doing same auto provision to mass phones.
For example, assumed that you have 1000 pieces of tiptel IP 286 and you want to update firmware for all
phones, you just need to prepare only one y000000000000.cfg in which defines the firmware update
request, then put it onto the provisioning server.
Note: In case that the phone is on a live call, it will keep on asking for the CFG files with an interval of 30
seconds for up to 2 hours.
