Update URL
In order for the BluStar 8000i to download the software, there has to be the “
update url
” parameter in either the
<mac>.cfg, <model>.cfg, or aastra.cfg file. It is recommended to have this parameter in the <mac>.cfg file.
For example:
update url: FTP://10.30.102.74/<software name>@2011.04.07.1744

For more information of each configuration file parameter, see
Appendix A “Parameters” on page A-1

Configuration File Precedence
The BluStar 8000i can accept the following sources of configuration data:
•
The PBX configuration server most recently downloaded/cached from the configuration server files:
aastra.cfg/<model>.cfg/<mac>.cfg
•
The BluStar 8000i user configuration URL( “
user config url
” parameter) that specifies where to look for the
<user>.cfg
file. The <user>.cfg file contains the user’s settings, including call logs and favorites.
Installing the Configuration Files
The following procedure describes how to install the configuration files.
Note:
The value specified for this parameter is an untarred directory instead of a file name.
Notes:
•
The BluStar 8000i settings include intelligent default values (therefore an empty configuration file is always the best).
Administrators should only set a parameter if they MUST control or override that particular setting.
•
The internal BluStar 8000i default values can be dynamically adjusted based on network, call, and other conditions
and settings.
•
If a BluStar 8000i setting value is specified in the configuration file, then this dynamic behavior is disabled for that set-
ting.
1.
If DHCP is disabled, manually enter the configuration server’s IP address. For details on manually setting DHCP, see
Configuring Network Settings Manually
2.
On the configuration server, you must have the
aastra.cfg, <model>.cfg
, and
<mac>.cfg
files.
Notes:
• The
<mac>
attribute represents the actual MAC address of your BluStar 8000i (i.e.,
00085D112233.cfg
).
• The terminal’s <
mac
> address can be obtained under the
about
app menu.
3.
Place the mandatory “
user config url
” parameter that specifies where to look for the
<user>.cfg
file in either the
aastra.cfg, <model>.cfg,
or the
<mac>.cfg
file.
Note:
The “
user config URL
" parameter supports tftp, ftp, http, https, however only ftp, http and https can be authenticated.
4.
Place the “
update url
” parameter in the
<mac>.cfg
file.
When the BluStar 8000i is booting up, only the
aastra.cfg, <model>.cfg
,
and
<mac>.cfg
are loaded.
The
<user>.cfg
is loaded when the user logs in.
Note:
To login, the BluStar 8000i has to be able to load the <user>.cfg file.
5.
Restart the BluStar 8000i as described in
