Download Configuration Files - TIPTEL IP 286 Auto Provision Manual

2.2 Download configuration files

There are 2 configuration files both of which are CFG formatted that the phone will try to download from the server
during provisioning. We call them Common CFG file and MAC-Oriented CFG file. The Common CFG file will be
effectual for all the phones of the right model. However, a MAC-Oriented CFG file will only be effectual for the specific
phone which can be told by its MAC address. A common CFG file has a fixed name for each model while a
MAC-Oriented CFG file is named after a MAC address of the specific phone. The names of the Common CFG file for
each model are:
IP 286: y000000000000.cfg
IP 284: y000000000004.cfg
IP 280: y000000000007.cfg
There are 11 zeros between the letter y and the last number. Except 0 for IP 286 which is special, the last number for
other models 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 IP 284 whose MAC address is 001565113af8, the 2 configuration files for it will be:
y000000000004.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 IP 286 and you want to update firmware for all phones, you just need
to prepare only one y000000000000.cfg 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.
