VSP735 Administrator and Provisioning Manual

Provisioning Using Configuration Files
If the provisioning URL specifies a path only with no filename, then by default the
phone fetches the following two files:
General file: <model>.cfg.
MAC-specific file: <model>_<MAC Address>.cfg.
The <model> variable is the VTech phone model: VSP735, for example.
If the provisioning URL specifies both a path and filename, then the phone
fetches only the configuration file specified.
3.
The phone restarts after one minute of inactivity. Please wait while the phone
reboots appears on the phone screen.
During provisioning, the phone reads the configuration file and validates each
module and setting. The phone considers a setting valid if it is:
a valid data type
formatted as a valid setting
within a valid data range
part of a module that passes an integrity check. That is, the module’s settings
are consistent and logical. For example, in the “network” module, if DHCP is
disabled, but no static IP address is specified, the module will fail the integrity
check and none of the settings will apply.
Invalid modules or invalid settings are skipped and logged as ERRORs in the system
log, but will not interrupt the provisioning process. The system log will include the
module parameters that have not been applied. A recognized module with
unrecognized settings will cause all other settings in that module to be skipped.
A successful configuration or firmware update is reported as an INFO message in the
system log.
See Appendix A: Configuration File Settings on page 94 for the options and value
ranges available for each configuration file setting.
Phone Restart
If the phone needs to restart after an auto-update, the restart happens only after the
phone has been idle for one minute.
To prevent users from delaying the update process (auto-updates cannot begin until
the phone has been idle for one minute), or to avoid phone restarts that might
interfere with incoming calls:
set the resynchronization interval to a suitable period
upload any new configuration file(s) to your provisioning server after work
hours so that the phones will download the file(s) when there is little or no call
activity.
When you update the phone by importing a configuration file using the WebUI, the
phone restarts immediately after applying the new settings, regardless of whether
the phone is idle.
