3.3.7Configuration & Update Service (DLS)

The Deployment Service (DLS) is a HiPath Management application for administering work- points in both HiPath and non-HiPath networks. Amongst the most important features are: se- curity (e.g. PSS generation and distribution within an SRTP security domain), mobility for opti- Point and OpenStage SIP phones, software deployment, plug&play support, as well as error and activity logging.

DLS address, i.e. the IP address or hostname of the DLS server, and DLS port, i.e. the port on which the DLS server is listening, are required to enable proper communication between phone and DLS. The Contact gap parameter controls a security function. It specifies a mini- mum time interval that must elapse between HTTP requests; any requests coming within that time will be ignored. The purpose is to prevent DoS (Denial of Service) attacks on the phone. The Security mode determines whether the communication between the phone and the DLS is secure. A secure connection is established by exchanging credentials between the DLS and the phone for mutual authentication. After this, the communication is encrypted, and a different port is used.
