Web Interface URLs

Web Interface URLs

The Linksys IP phone web interface supports several functions through special URLs:

Upgrade

Reboot

Resync

Administrator account privilege is needed for these functions.

Upgrade URL

The Upgrade URL lets you upgrade the Linksys IP phone to the firmware specified by the URL, which can identify either a TFTP or HTTP server.

Note If the value of the <Upgrade Enable> parameter in the Provisioning page is No, you cannot upgrade the Linksys IP phone even if the web page indicates otherwise.

The syntax of the Upgrade URL is as follows:

http://spa-ip-addr/admin/upgrade?[protocol://][server-name[:port]][/firmware-pathname] Both HTTP and TFTP are supported for the upgrade operation.

If no protocol is specified, TFTP is assumed. If no server-nameis specified, the host that requests the URL is used as server-name.

If no port specified, the default port of the protocol is used. (69 for TFTP or 80 for HTTP)

The firmware-pathnameis typically the file name of the binary located in a directory on the TFTP or HTTP server. If no firmware-pathnameis specified, /spa.bin is assumed, as in the following example: http://192.168.2.217/admin/upgrade?tftp://192.168.2.251/spa.bin

Resync URL

The Resync URL lets you force the Linksys IP phone to do a resync to a profile specified in the URL, which can identify either a TFTP, HTTP, or HTTPS server.

Note The SPA resyncs only when it is idle.

The syntax of the Resync URL is as follows: http://spa-ip-addr/admin/resync?[[protocol://][server-name[:port]]/profile-pathname]

If no parameter follows /resync?, the Profile Rule setting from the Provisioning page is used.

If no protocol is specified, TFTP is assumed. If no server-name is specified, the host that requests the URL is used as server-name.

If no port is specified, the default port is used (69 for TFTP, 80 for HTTP, and 443 for HTTPS). The profile-path is the path to the new profile with which to resync, for example: http://192.168.2.217admin/resync?tftp://192.168.2.251/spaconf.cfg
