Power on all IP phones.
After being powered on, a phone obtains the IP address from the DHCP server. Then the
DHCP server delivers the configuration file URL to the phone using the
Option246
parameter. After receiving the URL, the phone obtains the global configuration file from
the file server to update the phone configurations, and downloads files such as the
firmware version file from the URLs specified in the configuration file.
Verifying the Configuration and Upgrade
After you complete the preceding procedure, test on certain IP phones to ensure that the IP
phones run normally.
Use the following methods to verify that the batch configuration and upgrade are successful:
Configuration result
Access the web configuration page and verify that the configurations are the same as
those in the configuration file.
Upgrade result
In the standby state, press
OK
to access the
Status
GUI, and verify that the version number
corresponding to
Firmware
is the same as that of the firmware version file.
If some phones failed to be configured or upgraded, the possible cause is that too many
phones send configure and upgrade requests to the server at the same time, and the server
cannot handle all those requests. You are advised to restart these phones. The phone
downloads the configuration file and firmware version from the file server during the restart.
