Configuring Network and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Features

Configuration Server Protocol

Configuration Server Protocol

You can download new versions of firmware and configuration files from the configuration server to the IP phone using any of the following types of protocols: TFTP, FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS. The TFTP setting is the default download protocol. You can configure the type of protocol that the IP phone uses by setting it in the configuration files, the IP phone UI, or the Aastra Web UI.

Note: For DHCP to automatically populate the IP address or domain name for the TFTP, FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS server, your DHCP server must support download protocol according to RFC2131 and RFC1541 for Option 66. For more information, see this chapter, the section, “DHCP” on page 4-4.
