Appendix A: How to Configure and Use the Update Server
A.1 Summary
Automatic update is based on configuration and firmware information stored on a
standard web server and retrieved by the devices on a regular basis.
There are 2 modules in the device which work in tandem. The first is known as "UP0" and
actually executes the upload and download of configuration information as well as the
download of updated firmware. UP0 is controlled by commands as described below.
The second module is known as "UP1". It serves to poll a given website for changed
configuration information. If certain conditions are met, UP1 will issue commands to UP0
to perform the requested updates.
UP0 can also receive commands from the "Update clients" page of the PBX
Administration user interface.
A.1.1 System Requirements
One or more regular Web Server that can be accessed by all devices are required. This has
been tested with Microsoft IIS and Apache, but any regular Web Server should do.
For best results, the Web Server should be able to maintain a large number of HTTP
sessions simultaneously, since potentially all devices may attempt a configuration update
at the same time. For example, Microsoft's Personal Web Server is not adequate, since it
only support 10 simultaneous sessions.
Following URLs are supported: HTTP, HTTPS and TFTP.
A.1.2 Configuration in IP-DECT
See 4.8.1 Configure Automatic Firmware Update on page 76 on how to configure the
IPBS/IPBLs for automatic update.
The URL parameter must point to the site where the file containing the commands is
stored. Note that in this URL, no host names are supported. The web servers IP address
must be used.
A.1.3 Setting the UP1 Parameters
If the URL ends with a '/' then a default filename is used based upon the product in
question. If for example the URL for an IPBS1 is "http://1.2.3.4/configs/", it is expanded to
"http://1.2.3.4/configs/update-IPBS.htm".
The product type name used is the one used in the Version line on the devices Info page.
Note that the extension is irrelevant, .htm or .txt or no extension at all may be used. On
some Web servers, URLs are case sensitive.
The command file is retrieved initially after the configured poll interval (in minutes) is
expired after boot. Short poll intervals can create substantial load on a big network. A
value less than 15 minutes (which is the default) is therefore not recommended.
