HTTP Redirect feature
HTTP redirection allows you to configure and use multiple servers to download files to IP phones
without the need to configure different values of HTTPSRVR (or TLSSRVR) for different groups of
phones.
You do not any special configuration on the phone. The phone responds automatically to HTTP
redirection requests from the HTTP server.
Using this feature you can:
• Spread the load across multiple servers. This feature allows local file servers to be used to
avoid bottlenecks caused by low bandwidth WAN links to remote locations.
• Use this capability for firmware upgrades, backup or restore and agent greeting download.
The feature supports the following HTTP Redirection response codes:
• 301 (Moved Permanently)
• 302 (Found)
• 303 (See Other)
• 307 (Moved Temporarily)
To be able to use this feature, you must configure the central file server to support HTTP
Redirection to an appropriate alternate server. See the
Microsoft website for more information and
examples on configuring HTTP Redirection on IIS7 server.

Backup and restore processing
9600 Series IP deskphones support the HTTP client to back up and restore the user-specific data.
The deskphones support HTTP over TLS (HTTPS) for backup or restore. For backup, the
deskphone creates a file with all user-specific data if a backup file location is specified in system
parameter BRURI. The file is sent to the server by an HTTP PUT message, with appropriate
success or a failure confirmation.
Note:
9600 Series IP Deskphones H.323 v6.6.2 and later do not support HTTPS with MV_IPTEL or
IIS 6. It is recommended to upgrade to the current version of an HTTPS server that supports
TLS 1.2.
The phone stores the authentication credentials and the realm in non-volatile memory that is not
overwritten if new phone software is downloaded. The default value of the credentials and the
