Note
Do not close and refresh the browser when the IP phone is upgrading firmware via web user
interface.
Upgrade Firmware from the Provisioning Server
IP Phones use DHCP/PNP/TFTP/FTP/HTTP/HTTPS network protocols to get URL, and then
download firmware and/or its corresponding configuration files from that server. These
configuration files and firmware will be used to update firmware and the corresponding
parameters on the phone.
IP Phones can be configured to resynchronize its internal configuration state to match a
remote profile periodically and on power up by contacting a normal provisioning server
(NPS) or an access control server (ACS). In this document, we assume that the administrator
knows how to set up the NPS and ACS (DHCP, PNP, TFTP, FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS servers).
By default, a profile resync is only attempted when IP Phones are idle, because the upgrade
might trigger a software reboot interrupting a call.
Automatic deployment has the following features
General configuration provisioning: In this scenario, a general configuration file is
stored in the server and all IP Phones download the same configuration file to update
their parameters.
MAC based configuration provisioning: In this scenario, each configuration file is for a
specific IP Phone with the MAC address that matches the file name. The parameters in
this configuration file are for that specific IP Phone only. This is normally for the
account related parameters.
