Provisioning Capabilities
The ATA device provides for secure provisioning and remote upgrade.
Provisioning is achieved through configuration profiles transferred to the device
via TFTP, HTTP, or HTTPS. To configure Provisioning, go to Provisioning tab in the
administration web server.
The ATA device can be configured to automatically resync its internal
configuration state to a remote profile periodically and on power up. The
automatic resyncs are controlled by configuring the desired profile URL into the
device.
The ATA device accepts profiles in XML format, or alternatively in a proprietary
binary format, which is generated by a profile compiler tool available from Cisco.
Find the Profiler Compiler for your ATA at http://www.cisco.com/web/partners/
sell/smb/products/voice_and_conferencing.html#~vc_technical_resources.
The ATA device supports up to 256-bit symmetric key encryption of profiles. For
the initial transfer of the profile encryption key (initial provisioning stage), the ATA
device can receive a profile from an encrypted channel (HTTPS), or it can resync
to a binary profile generated by the Cisco-supplied profile compiler. In the latter
case, the profile compiler can encrypt the profile specifically for the target ATA
device, without requiring an explicit key exchange.
Remote firmware upgrade is achieved via TFTP or HTTP (firmware upgrades
using HTTPS are not supported). Remote upgrades are controlled by configuring
the desired firmware image URL into the ATA device via a remote profile resync.
For further information about remote provisioning refer to the SPA Provisioning
Guide.
