following topics:

TFTP Resync
The SPA supports multiple network protocols for retrieving configuration profiles. The most basic
profile transfer protocol is TFTP (RFC1350). TFTP is widely used for the provisioning of network
devices within private LAN networks. Although not recommended for deployments of endpoints across
the Internet, it can be convenient for deployment within small organizations, for in-house
preprovisioning, and for development and testing.
The following configuration profile format uses the XML-style syntax:
<flat-profile>
<GPP_A> 12345678
</GPP_A>
</flat-profile>
The
<flat-profile>
element tag encloses all parameter elements to be recognized by the SPA. The
example above defines one parameter value, the first general purpose parameter (GPP_A), with a value
of 12345678.
Exercise
Step 1
Within a LAN environment connect a PC and an SPA to a hub, switch, or small router.
Step 2
Connect an analog phone to the Phone 1 port of the SPA.
Step 3
On the PC, install and activate a TFTP server.
Step 4
Using a text editor, create the configuration profile and save it with the name
basic.txt
in the virtual
root directory of the installed TFTP server.
Step 5
If possible, verify that the TFTP server is properly configured by requesting the basic.txt file using a
TFTP client other than the SPA itself.
Preferably, the TFTP client should be running on a separate host from the server.
Step 6
Using the analog phone, obtain the local IP address of the SPA (IVR menu *
*** 110 #
).
If the SPA configuration has been modified since it was manufactured, perform manufacturing reset on
it using the IVR RESET option (
****
73738
#
).
Step 7
Open the PC web browser on the SPA admin/advanced configuration page.
For example, if the SPA IP address is 192.168.1.100):
