Provisioning Examples Overview
This chapter provides example procedures for transferring configuration profiles between the phone and the
provisioning server.
For information about creating configuration profiles, refer to Provisioning Formats, on page 77.
Basic Resync
This section demonstrates the basic resync functionality of the phones.
Use Syslog to Log Messages
A phone can be configured to send logging messages to a syslog server over UDP, including messages related
to provisioning. To identify this server, you can access the phone Web interface (see Access the Phone Web
Interface, on page 104), select Voice > System and identify the server in the Syslog Server parameter of the
Optional Network Configuration section. Configure the syslog server IP address into the device and observe
the messages that are generated during the remaining procedures.
To get the information, you can access the phone Web interface, select Info > Debug Info > Control Logs
and click messages.
Before you begin
Procedure
Step 1 Install and activate a syslog server on the local PC.
Step 2 Program the PC IP address into the Syslog_Server parameter of the profile and submit the change:
<Syslog_Server>192.168.1.210</Syslog_Server>
Step 3 Click the System tab and enter the value of your local syslog server into the Syslog_Server parameter.
Step 4 Repeat the resync operation as described in TFTP Resync, on page 41.
The device generates two syslog messages during the resync. The first message indicates that a request is in
progress. The second message marks success or failure of the resync.
Step 5 Verify that your syslog server received messages similar to the following:
CP-88xx-3PCC 00:0e:08:ab:cd:ef –- Successful resync tftp://192.168.1.200/basic.txt
Detailed messages are available by programming a Debug_Server parameter (instead of the Syslog_Server
parameter) with the IP address of the syslog server, and by setting the Debug_Level to a value between 0 and
3 (3 being the most verbose):
<Debug_Server>192.168.1.210</Debug_Server>
