Upload Configuration Options
Description
Field
Specifies how the phone reports its current internal configuration to the provisioning server.
The URLs in this field specify the destination for a report and can include an encryption
key.
You can use the following keywords, encryption key, and file locations and names to
control how you store the phone configuration information:
• No keywords and
only
an XML file reports the
entire
configuration data to server.
•
[--status]
keyword reports the
status data
to server.
•
[--delta]
keyword reports the
changed
configuration to server.
•
[--key <encryption key>]
keyword tells the phone to apply AES-256-CBC
encryption with the specified encryption key to the configuration report, before sending
it to the server.
You can enclose the encryption key in double-quotes (") optionally.
If you have provisioned the phone with Input Keying Material (IKM) and
want the phone to apply RFC 8188-based encryption to the file, do not
specify a AES-256-CBC encryption key.
Note
• Two rules used together as:
[--delta]http://my_http_server/config-mpp-delta.xml
[--status]http://my_http_server/config-mpp-status.xml
If you need to use the [--delta]xml-delta file rule and the [--status]xml-status
file rule together, you must separate the two rules with a
space
.
Caution
Report Rule
Specifies whether the HTTP Request that the phone sends should be an
HTTP PUT
or an
HTTP POST
.
•
PUT Method
–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 Method
–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.
