B Alternative Automatic Provisioning
Methods
B.1 Static DNS Record Method
The Static DNS (Generic Domain Name) Record method is used for automatic provisioning
when you are unable to manage your DHCP server. If the provisioning server does not
support using SIP SUBSCRIBE and NOTIFY messages mechanism as described above and
no response for the SIP SUBSCRIBE message has been received, the phone tries to retrieve
firmware and configuration files using the following URL:
tftp://ProvisioningServer/<Phone Model Name>/
For example:
 The phone tries to obtain the following firmware file:
tftp://ProvisioningServer/450HD/450HD.img
 The phone tries to obtain the following configuration file:
tftp://ProvisioningServer/450HD/<MAC address>.cfg
(e.g. tftp://ProvisioningServer/450HD/001122334455.cfg)
It is the Administrator’s responsibility to configure a DNS entry called ProvisioningServer
on the DNS server and set it to the TFTP server IP address.
Note: If Generic Domain Name is used, the automatic provisioning mechanism
periodically tries to retrieve new firmware/configuration from Provisioning Server domain
name.
 To configure Static DNS Record:
 Open the Configuration File page (Management tab > Manual Update >
Configuration File) and configure the parameters using the table below as reference.
