Service provider or enterprises with large deployments of
Patton VoIP equipment require a way to centrally manage
and control deployment of end user configurations and
firmware. Configuration of individual devices via web
interfaces is not a practical option for customers with a
large installed base of end users. Patton’s VAPS is a cen-
tralized provisioning and configuration tool that enables
large scale roll-out, configuration, and firmware deploy-
ment of the Patton VoIP products at a device, group or
network wide level.
Using web configuration screens similar to the web interface
presented by the actual device, properly authenticated net-
work operations personnel can review and adjust device con-
figuration parameters. Changes that have been set to the
VAPS database will be deployed to the selected devices the
next time the device reloads or checks-in with VAPS server.
Patton Smartnode and SmartLink products will check in with
the VAPS server on a configuration defined interval.
The VAPS log tracks each VoIP device’s check-in with the
VAPS and what activities were performed. Network opera-
tors can quickly tell which devices received new configura-
tions and new firmware.
To provide maximum connectivity to diverse end user envi-
ronments, configuration and firmware is transmitted to and
from VAPS using HTTP. Secure HTTPS is supported with the
installation of an SSL public certificate on the VAPS server.
Smartnode products offer the additional option of distribut-
ing configuration information using TFTP.
