Multiple Configuration Server Support
An Administrator has the option of specifying whether the phones get their firmware file, directory
files, language packs, TLS certificate files, 802.1x certificate files, and HTTPS files from the
original configuration server or from another server in the network. This feature allows you to
specify the URL of other servers from which the phone can get this information.
Firmware Files and Multiple Configuration Servers
The firmware file for the phones can be downloaded from the original configuration server or from
another server specified by a URL. You can specify a valid URL (server IP address) from which
the phones get the firmware using a new parameter called, “firmware server” in the configuration
files. If a URL is specified for this parameter, the phones in the network get the security.tuz,
aastra.cfg, <model>.cfg,
and <mac>.cfg files from the original configuration server, and the
firmware files from the server specified in the URL.
Examples
To download all configuration and firmware files from the original configuration server:
firmware server:
Leaving this parameter blank downloads all configuration and firmware files from the original
configuration server.
To download all firmware files from another specified server:
firmware server: tftp://10.30.102.158/test1
The above example uses TFTP to download all firmware files that exist in the “test1” directory on
the specified server, to the phones.
Specifying a Server to Download Firmware Files
You can use the following parameter to specify a server other than the original configuration server
from which the phones get their firmware:
•
firmware server.
Note: The default method for the download of all files and firmware to
the phones is from the original configuration server. The Administrator
must specify a correct server URL for the phones to get their
firmware information from that server. If the URL is incorrect, no
firmware download occurs to the phones from the specified server.
Note: Specifying the download of a “.st” file is not supported. For
example, the following filename should NEVER be entered as a value
string for the “firmware server” parameter:
firmware server: tftp://10.30.102.158/test1/57i.st
Configuration Files
For the specific parameter you can set in the configuration files, see Appendix A, the section, “Multiple
Configuration Server Settings” on page A-30.
