If the provisioning URL specifies a path only with no filename, then by default the
base station fetches the following two files:
General file: <model>.cfg.
MAC-specific file: <model>_<MAC Address>.cfg.
The <model> variable is the VTech product model: VSP600, for example.
If the provisioning URL specifies both a path and filename, then the base station
fetches only the configuration file specified.
3. The base station restarts after one minute of inactivity.
During provisioning, the base station reads the configuration file and validates each
module and setting. The base station 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 ERRORs 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 Appendix A: Configuration File Settings on page 60 for the options and value
ranges available for each configuration file setting.
Base Station Restart
If the base station needs to restart after an auto-update, the restart happens only
after the base station has been idle for one minute.
To prevent users from delaying the update process (auto-updates cannot begin until
the base station has been idle for one minute), or to avoid base station restarts that
might interfere with incoming calls:
set the resynchronization interval to a suitable period
upload any new configuration file(s) to your provisioning server after work
hours so that the base station will download the file(s) when there is little or no
call activity.
When you update the base station by importing a configuration file using the WebUI,
the base station restarts immediately after applying the new settings, regardless of
whether the base station is idle.
