Configuration file download
By default, the telephone checks the FTP server for an account called "con-
fig" using the password "config" (for details on the plug & play settings,
please refer to the "Configuration Management Settings" dialog of the tele-
phone's web interface ! page 135).
In certain circumstances the phone will access the FTP server and check
in the system-wide configuration file for a <write item="system-config-
file"> element and in its own device configuration file for a <write
item="device-config-file"> element. If the system-wide file version has
changed compared with the most recent download, the phone will exe-
cute the write instructions in both the system-wide file and its device con-
figuration file. If the system-wide file version has not changed but the de-
vice configuration file version has changed, the phone will execute only the
write instructions in the device configuration file. Otherwise the phone will
not execute write instructions from either configuration file. This preserves
any local settings if there is no change to the configuration files.
When the phone downloads configuration files, it will download the sys-
tem-wide configuration file first and then its own device configuration file.
Any parameters values present in the system-wide configuration file will
overwrite previous values. Any parameter values present in the device
configuration file will overwrite previous values or values in the system-
wide configuration file.
How to configure the download server see ! page 87.
Period check of configuration files
While registered with the SIP registrar, the phone will, subject to configu-
ration, perform FTP server address discovery and configuration file down-
load periodically (e.g., once a day) to ensure that any changed configurable
parameters are obtained. This is useful for two reasons:
• When the phone has started up using previous parameters values be-
cause it has been unable to download the configuration files (e.g., be-
cause of congestion at the FTP server), this gives a second chance to
obtain any updated parameters.
• In environments that do not support the notification mechanism of the
following regirements:
– there is a telephone call in progress,
– the phone's admin user interface is being used,
– the phone's admin web pages are being used,
The interval between attempts will be configurable.
