Configuration Server Protocol
You can download new versions of firmware and configuration files from the configuration server to the IP phone using
any of the following types of protocols: TFTP, FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS. For each Protocol, you can specify the path for which
the configuration files are located on the server. For HTTP and HTTPS, you can also specify the port number to use for
downloading the phone configuration. For FTP, you can configure a Username and Password that are authenticated by
the FTP server.
The TFTP setting is the default download protocol. You can configure the type of protocol that the IP phones use by set-
ting it in the configuration files, the IP phone UI, or the Aastra Web UI.
Configuring the Configuration Server Protocol
Use the following procedure to configure the configuration server protocol.
Note:
For DHCP to automatically populate the IP address or domain name for the TFTP, FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS server, your DHCP
server must support download protocol as referenced in RFC2131 and RFC1541 for Option 66. For more information,
