XML Configuration Management

Download

When downloading configuration files, the phone first downloads the system configuration file and then the device configuration file. Each parameter value in the system configuration file overwrites an existing value. Each parameter value in the device configuration file overwrites existing values and values from the system configuration file.

2.3.2Periodically Checking Configuration Files

To ensure that it always retrieves modifiable configuration parameters, the phone constantly updates its configuration by activating a configuration server and periodically downloading con- figuration files (for example, once a day) while logged on to the SIP server.

This is useful in the following two scenarios:

if the phone’s parameters are out of date because it was unable to download configuration files (due to an FTP server overload, for instance), it still has the possibility of downloading all modified new parameters.

if the phone is in a state that does not support the notification mechanism, for example:

the user is conducting a call

the administration menu is currently activated

the phone’s Web interface is currently in use

The periods between configuration file checks can be modified as required.

2.3.3Automatic Software Download

The device configuration file contains a tag called "dl-ftp-firmware-filename" which contains the file name of the current software version. The phone treats this tag differently to other tags. If the file name in the element is the same as the file name of the current software, the phone skips this tag and continues processing the other tags in the configuration file.

However, if the file names are different, only the FTP download parameters are configured. Af- ter this configuration, the phone loads the new software and restarts. The configuration files are reloaded during the restart. The phone now detects that it has the correct software version and continues processing the remaining tags in the configuration file.

>Once the download is complete, the optiPoint 410/420 restarts.
