DescriptionField
Specifies whether the HTTP Request that the phone sends should be an PUT or an POST.
• PUT–To create a new report or overwrite an existing report at a known location on
the server. For example, you may want to keep overwriting each report that you send
and only store the most current configuration on the server.
• POST–To send the report data to the server for processing, such as, by a PHP script.
This approach provides more flexibility for storing the configuration information. For
example, you may want to send a series of phone status reports and store all the reports
on the server.
Perform one of the following:
• In the phone configuration file with XML(cfg.xml), enter a string in this format:
<HTTP_Report_Method ua="na">PUT</HTTP_Report_Method>
• In the phone web interface, select an HTTP report method.
Allowed values: PUT|POST
Default: POST
HTTP Report
method:
Defines when the phone reports its configuration to the provisioning servers.
• On Request: The phone reports its configuration only when an administrator sends
a sip notify event, or the phone restarts.
• On Local Change: The phone reports its configuration when any configuration
parameter changes by an action on the phone or on the phone administration web
page. The phone waits for a few seconds after a change is made, and then reports the
configuration. This delay ensures that changes are reported to the web server in batches,
rather than reporting a single change at a time.
• Periodically: The phone reports its configuration at regular intervals. The interval is
expressed in seconds.
Perform one of the following:
• In the phone configuration file with XML(cfg.xml), enter a string in this format:
<Report_to_Server ua="na">Periodically</Report_to_Server>
• In the phone web interface, select an option from the list.
Allowed values: On Request|On Local Change|Periodically
Default: On Request
