VoIP Auto-Provisioning System (VAPS)

Provides centralized configuration and firmware control for large implementations of Patton VoIP Products

F E A T U R E S & B E N E F I T S

✔ Centrally manages 100s–1,000s of Patton VoIP

devices—Individual, group level or network-wide device

Service provider or enterprises with large deployments of Patton VoIP equipment require a way to centrally manage and control deployment of end user configurations and firmware. Configuration of individual devices via web interfaces is not a practical option for customers with a large installed base of end users. Patton’s VAPS is a cen- tralized provisioning and configuration tool that enables large scale roll-out, configuration, and firmware deploy- ment of the Patton VoIP products at a device, group or network wide level.

Using web configuration screens similar to the web interface presented by the actual device, properly authenticated net- work operations personnel can review and adjust device con- figuration parameters. Changes that have been set to the VAPS database will be deployed to the selected devices the next time the device reloads or checks-in with VAPS server. Patton Smartnode and SmartLink products will check in with the VAPS server on a configuration defined interval.

The VAPS log tracks each VoIP device’s check-in with the VAPS and what activities were performed. Network opera- tors can quickly tell which devices received new configura- tions and new firmware.

To provide maximum connectivity to diverse end user envi- ronments, configuration and firmware is transmitted to and from VAPS using HTTP. Secure HTTPS is supported with the installation of an SSL public certificate on the VAPS server. Smartnode products offer the additional option of distribut- ing configuration information using TFTP.
