Batch Configuration and Upgrade of IP
Phones
3.1 Overview
The global configuration file on the HTTP server is used to configure and upgrade IP phones
in batches.
During DHCP server configuration, a 246 parameter is defined for setting the URL of the
global configuration file. After this parameter is set, the DHCP server sends the URL to the IP
phone that applies for an IP address. The IP phone then downloads the configuration file from
this URL.
The configuration file contains the IP addresses of the servers where the firmware version file,
ring tone files, and local address book files are stored.
The batch configuration and upgrade of IP phones have the following features:
IP phones of the same model use the same configuration file.
For example, you only need to prepare one configuration file for all eSpace 7850 phones.
IP phones obtain the required firmware version file URL from the configuration file.
After obtaining the global configuration file, IP phones download the firmware version
file based on the URL in the configuration file for batch upgrade.
IP phones obtain URLs from the configuration file to download ring tone files, local
address book files, and other files.
3.2 Making Configuration File Templates

each phone model is as follows:
