If a server has these two types of configuration files, then IP devices will first access the general
configuration files before accessing the MAC-based configuration files.
NoteNote
The configuration file should be in CFG format.
The general configuration file for the in-batch provisioning varies by model.
The MAC-based configuration file for the specific device provisioning is named by its MAC address.
You may click herehere to see detailed format and steps.
You can manually set up a specific server URL for downloading the firmware or configuration file. If an auto-provision
schedule is set up, the device will perform the auto-provisioning at a specific time according to the auto provision
schedule you set up. In addition, TFTP, FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS are the protocols that can be used for upgrading the
device firmware and configuration.
To set it up, download the template on System > Auto Provisioning > Automatic Autop System > Auto Provisioning > Automatic Autop first.
Set up the Autop server on System > Auto Provisioning > Manual Autop System > Auto Provisioning > Manual Autop interface.
URLURL: Specify the TFTP, HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP server address for the provisioning.
UsernameUsername: Enter the username if the server needs a username to be accessed.
PasswordPassword: Enter the password if the server needs a password to be accessed.
Common AES KeyCommon AES Key: It is used for the intercom to decipher general Autop configuration files.
AES Key (MAC)AES Key (MAC): It is used for the intercom to decipher the MAC-based Autop configuration file.
DHCP ProvisioningDHCP Provisioning
Auto-provisioning URL can also be obtained using the DHCP option which allows the device to send a request to a
DHCP server for a specific DHCP option code. If you want to use CustomCustom OptionOption as defined by users with option
codes ranging from 128-255), you are required to configure DHCP Custom Option on the web interface.
NoteNote
AES as one type of encryption should be configured only when the config file is encrypted with
AES.
Server Address Format:
TFTP: tftp://192.168.0.19/
FTP: ftp://192.168.0.19/(allows anonymous login)
ftp://username:password@192.168.0.19/(requires a user name and password)
HTTP: http://192.168.0.19/(use the default port 80)
http://192.168.0.19:8080/(use other ports, such as 8080)
HTTPS: https://192.168.0.19/(use the default port 443)
TipTip
Akuvox does not provide user specified server. Please prepare TFTP/FTP/HTTP/HTTPS server by yourself.
To set up DHCP Autop with Power OnPower On mode, go to the web Upgrade > Advanced > Automatic AutopUpgrade > Advanced > Automatic Autop interface.
To set up the DHCP Option, scroll to the DHCP OptionDHCP Option section.
Custom OptionCustom Option: Enter the DHCP code that matches with corresponding URL so that the device will find the
configuration file server for the configuration or upgrading.
DHCP Option 43DHCP Option 43 : If the device does not get a URL from DHCP Option 66, it will automatically use DHCP
Option 43. This is done within the software and the user does not need to specify this. To make it work, you
need to configure the DHCP server for option 43 with the upgrade server URL in it.
DHCP Option 66DHCP Option 66 : If none of the above is set, the device will automatically use DHCP Option 66 to get the
upgrade server URL. This is done within the software and the user does not need to specify this. To make it
work, you need to configure the DHCP server for option 66 with the upgrade server URL in it.
NoteNote
The Custom Option type must be a string. The value is the URL of TFTP server.
