Setting up Your System

 

All of the boot servers must be reachable by the same protocol and the content

 

available on them must be identical. The parameters described in section

 

Server Menu on page 3-9can be used to configure the number of times each

 

server will be tried for a file transfer and also how long to wait between each

 

attempt. The maximum number of servers to be tried is configurable. For more

 

information, contact your Certified Polycom Reseller.

Note

 

Be aware of how logs, overrides and directories are uploaded to servers that maps

 

to multiple IP addresses. The server that these files are uploaded to may change

 

over time.

 

If you want to use redundancy for uploads, synchronize the files between servers in

 

the background.

 

However, you may want to disable the redundancy for uploads by specifying

 

specific IP addresses instead of URLs for logs, overrides, and directory in the

 

<MAC-address>.cfg .

 

 

To set up the boot server:

Note

Use this procedure as a recommendation if this is your first boot server setup.

 

 

1.Install boot server application or locate suitable existing server(s).

Polycom recommends that you use RFC-compliant servers.

 

2. Create account and home directory.

Note

 

If the provisioning protocol requires an account name and password, the server

 

account name and password must match those configured in the phones. Defaults

 

are: provisioning protocol: FTP, name: PlcmSpIp, password: PlcmSpIp.

 

 

 

Each phone may open multiple connections to the server.

 

The phone will attempt to upload log files, a configuration override file,

 

and a directory file to the server. This requires that the phone’s account has

 

delete, write, and read permissions. The phone will still function without

 

these permissions, but will not be able to upload files.

 

The files downloaded from the server by the phone should be made

 

read-only.

Note

 

Typically all phones are configured with the same server account, but the server

 

account provides a means of conveniently partitioning the configuration. Give each

 

account an unique home directory on the server and change the configuration on

 

an account-by-account basis.
