Supported Provisioning Protocols

The bootROM performs the provisioning functions of downloading configuration files, uploading and downloading the configuration override file and user directory, and downloading the dictionary and uploading log files.

The protocol that will be used to transfer files from the boot server depends on several factors including the phone model and whether the bootROM or SIP application stage of provisioning is in progress. By default, the phones are shipped with FTP enabled as the provisioning protocol. If an unsupported protocol is specified, this may result in a defined behavior (see the table below for details of which protocol the phone will use). The Specified Protocol listed in the table can be selected in the Server Type field or the Server Address can include a transfer protocol, for example http://usr:pwd@server (refer to Server Menu on page 3-9). The boot server address can be an IP address, domain string name, or URL. The boot server address can also be obtained through DHCP. Configuration file names in the <Ethernet address>.cfg file can include a transfer protocol, for example https://usr:pwd@server/dir/file.cfg. If a user name and password are specified as part of the server address or file name, they will be used only if the server supports them.

Note

 

A URL should contain forward slashes instead of back slashes and should not

 

 

contain spaces. Escape characters are not supported. If a user name and

 

 

password are not specified, the Server User and Server Password will be used

 

 

(refer to Server Menu on page 3-9).

There are two types of FTP methods—active and passive. As of SIP 1.5 (and

 

 

bootROM 3.0), the SIP application is no longer compatible with active FTP. At that

 

 

time, secure provisioning was implemented.
