For HTTPS transactions, you can use the ssldump utility. An IP Telephony Device can retrieve a configuration profile from a provisioning server and update its internal configuration accordingly. IP Telephony Devices accept two different profile formats, one based on an open published syntax, and one based on an unpublished binary definition. The open configuration profile format uses a simple XML-like syntax. The binary format is generated by converting a plain text file using the SIP Profiler Compiler (SPC). The examples in this tutorial use configuration profiles with XML-style syntax. To use the proprietary plain-text format, you must convert the files using the SPC before they can be uploaded to the device. This procedure is described in the "Proprietary Profile Format" section on page 79. Basic Resync This section demonstrates the basic resync functionality of Cisco Small Business VoIP devices.
