Installation and Operation

an FTP protocol boot server. For more information on TFTP boot servers, see
2.2.2.1.1 FTP vs. TFTP on page 10.

Step:

Instructions:

1. Set-up FTP Server:

Note: Typically all phones are configured
with the same FTP account, but the FTP
account provides a means of conveniently
partitioning the configuration. Give each
account an unique home directory on the
server and change the configuration on an
account-by-account basis.

Install FTP server application or locate suitable exist-
ing server. Use RFC-compliant FTP servers. The fol-
lowing FTP servers have been tested with
SoundPoint

IP and SoundStation

IP and are known

to work acceptably:

•

Linux: ProFTPd 1.2.2 through 1.2.9 rc2p, ftpd-
bsd-0.3.3 (Linux port), we-ftpd 2.6.0

•

Windows 2000 Server: IIS 5.0, WFTPD 2.03

Create account and home directory.

2. Copy all files:

Copy all files from the distribution.zip file to the
phone home directory. Maintain the same folder hier-
archy.

3. Create per-phone configuration

files

Obtain a list of phone Ethernet addresses (barcoded
label on underside of phone).

Create per-phone phoneXXXX.cfg and <Ethernet
address>.cfg files by using the 00000000000.cfg and
phone1.cfg files from the distribution as templates.

Edit contents of phoneXXXX.cfg as appropriate. For
example, edit the registration parameters.

Edit the CONFIG_FILES attribute of the <Ethernet
address>.cfg files so that it references the appropriate
phoneXXXX.cfg file. (Replace the reference to
phone1.cfg with phoneXXXX.cfg.)

4. Edit .cfg:

See 4.6.2 SIP Configuration - sip.cfg on page 113,
particularly for SIP server address.

5. Edit ipmid.cfg:

See 4.6.1 Core Configuration - ipmid.cfg on page 65.

Most of the default settings are typically adequate,
however, if overriding SNTP settings are not available
via DHCP, the SNTP GMT offset and (possibly) the
SNTP server address will need to be edited for the cor-
rect local conditions. Changing the default daylight
savings parameters will likely be necessary outside of
North American locations.

(Optional) Disable the local web (HTTP) server or
alter its signalling port if local security policy dictates.

Change the default location settings:
