an FTP protocol boot server. For more information on TFTP boot servers, see 2.2.2.1.1 FTP vs. TFTP on page 10.

Step:		Instructions:
1.	Set-up FTP Server:	Install FTP server application or locate suitable exist-
		ing server. Use RFC-compliant FTP servers. The fol-
Note: Typically all phones are configured		lowing FTP servers have been tested with
		SoundPoint® IP and SoundStation® IP and are known
with the same FTP account, but the FTP
account provides a means of conveniently		to work acceptably:
partitioning the configuration. Give each		• Linux: ProFTPd 1.2.2 through 1.2.9 rc2p, ftpd-
account an unique home directory on the		bsd-0.3.3 (Linux port), we-ftpd 2.6.0
server and change the configuration on an		• Windows 2000 Server: IIS 5.0, WFTPD 2.03
account-by-account basis.
		Create account and home directory.a
2.	Copy all files:	Copy all files from the distribution.zip file to the
		phone home directory. Maintain the same folder hier-
		archy.
3.	Create per-phone configuration	Obtain a list of phone Ethernet addresses (barcoded
	filesb:	label on underside of phone).
		Create per-phone phoneXXXX.cfg and <Ethernet
		address>.cfg files by using the 00000000000.cfg and
		phone1.cfg files from the distribution as templates.
		Edit contents of phoneXXXX.cfg as appropriate. For
		example, edit the registration parameters.
		Edit the CONFIG_FILES attribute of the <Ethernet
		address>.cfg files so that it references the appropriate
		phoneXXXX.cfg file. (Replace the reference to
		phone1.cfg with phoneXXXX.cfg.)
4.	Edit <application>.cfg:	See 4.6.2 SIP Configuration - sip.cfg on page 113,
		particularly for SIP server address.
5.	Edit ipmid.cfg:	See 4.6.1 Core Configuration - ipmid.cfg on page 65.
		Most of the default settings are typically adequate,
		however, if overriding SNTP settings are not available
		via DHCP, the SNTP GMT offset and (possibly) the
		SNTP server address will need to be edited for the cor-
		rect local conditions. Changing the default daylight
		savings parameters will likely be necessary outside of
		North American locations.
		(Optional) Disable the local web (HTTP) server or
		alter its signalling port if local security policy dictates.
		Change the default location settings:
		• user interface language
		• time and date format
