Setting up Automatic Provisioning

Phones can be directed to a provisioning server using DHCP Option 160 or AudioCodes' HTTPS Redirect Server, to automatically load configuration (cfg) and firmware (img) files.

After the phone is powered up and network connectivity established, it automatically requests provisioning information; if it doesn't get via DHCP Option 160 provisioning method, it sends an HTTPS Request to the Redirect Server which responds with an HTTPS Redirect Response containing the URL of the provisioning server where the firmware and configuration files are located. When the phone successfully connects to the provisioning server's URL, an Automatic Update mechanism begins.

➢

To set up DHCP Option 160, use this syntax:

●

<protocol>://<server IP address or host name>/<firmware file name>;<configuration file name>

●

<protocol>://<server IP address or host name>

●

<protocol>://<server IP address or host name>/<firmware file name>

●

<protocol>://<server IP address or host name>/;<configuration file name>

Where <protocol> can be "ftp", "tftp", "http" or "https"

➢

To set up AudioCodes' HTTPS Redirect Server, use this syntax:

●

<protocol>://<server IP address or host name>

●

<protocol>://<server IP address or host name>/<firmware file name>

●

<protocol>://<server IP address or host name>/<firmware file name>;<configuration file name>

●

<protocol>://<server IP address or host name>/;<configuration file name>
