(APS) has the following features:

The configuration file applies to all IP phones. The administrator does not need to
configure a unique configuration file for each IP phone.
An IP phone determines whether to perform upgrade according to the verification
mechanism.
The verification mechanism is designed for an IP phone before the IP phone downloads
the configuration file and upgrades the version file. If the configuration file and version
file on the server are different from that on the IP phone, the IP phone synchronizes the
files from the server. If the configuration file and version file of the IP phone on the
server are the same as that on the IP phone, the IP phone skips upgrade and is started
normally.
4.2 Configuring and Upgrading IP Phones
