Configuration Access Control
Besides configuration parameters that control resync and upgrade behavior, the IP
Telephony device firmware provides mechanisms for restricting end-user access
to some parameters. The firmware provides specific privileges for login to an
Admin account and a User account. Each can be independently password
protected.:
•
Admin Account—Allows the service provider full access to all interactive
voice response (IVR) functions and to all administration web server
parameters.
•
User Account—Allows the user of a device to access basic IVR functions
and to configure a subset of the administration web server parameters.
The service provider can restrict the user account in the following ways:
•
Choose which configuration parameters are available to the User account.
•
Disable user access to the administration web server.
•
Disable the factory reset control using the IVR.
•
Restrict the Internet domains accessed by the device for resync, upgrades,
or SIP registration for Line 1.
Configuration Profiles
The configuration profile defines the parameter values for a specific IP Telephony
device. The configuration profile can be used in two formats:
•
Open (XML-style)
The XML format uses standard tools to compile the parameters and values.
To protect confidential information in the configuration profile, this type of
file is generally delivered from the provisioning server to the IP Telephony
device over a secure channel provided by HTTPS.
•
Proprietary, plain-text
The plain-text configuration file uses a proprietary format that can be
encrypted by using the SIP Profile Compiler (SPC) to prevent the
unauthorized use of confidential information. By convention, the encrypted
profile is named with the extension .cfg (for example, spa962.cfg).
