Servers

The service provider preprovisions phones, other than RC units, with a profile. The preprovision profile can

comprise a limited set of parameters that resynchronizes the phone. The profile can also comprise a complete

set of parameters that the remote server delivers. By default, the phone resynchronizes on power-up and at

intervals that are configured in the profile. When the user connects the phone at the customer premises, the

device downloads the updated profile and any firmware updates.

This process of preprovisioning, deployment, and remote provisioning can be accomplished in many ways.

The examples in this chapter require the availability of one or more servers. These servers can be installed

and run on a local PC:

• TFTP (UDP port 69)

• syslog (UDP port 514)

• HTTP (TCP port 80)

• HTTPS (TCP port 443).

To troubleshoot server configuration, it is helpful to install clients for each type of server on a separate server

machine. This practice establishes proper server operation, independent of the interaction with the phones.

We also recommend that you install these software tools:
