Introduction

Back to Top

UVP Devices can be configured via the Configuration File through TFTP or HTTP/HTTPS download. When a UVP device boots up or reboots, it will try to get the Provisioning server URL from DHCP option 66 and will try to fetch the configuration file named“uvpMAC.xml” from the provisioning server, where “MAC” is the MAC address of the UVP device (and should always be in upper case, for example “uvp24A43C065D85.xml”).

Configure DHCP Option 66

Back to Top

DHCP option 66 (TFTP Server Name) needs to be configured on the DHCP server to provide the provisioning server URL in the DHCP offer packet. See the examples in the table below. After performing this configuration, place the Configuration File in the Provisioning Server.

 Provisioning Server Type/Protocol DHCP Option 66 URI Example
TFTP 192.168.100.1
HTTP http://192.168.100.1/provisioning
HTTPS (without certificate verifying)  https://192.168.100.1/provisioning

Configuration File Characteristics

Back to Top

The filename format will be: uvp<UVP MAC in Upper Case>.xml. For example: uvp24A43C065D85.xml.

The file itself will be in XML format, with the declaration for example: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

Each configuration item maps to a XML tag with a U prefixed string as its tag name, which is the configuration key. The enclosed tag value is the configuration value. The U parameter key values from U00000 to U09999 are for global settings; the U values from U10000 to U89999 are for account 1 to account 8. The first digit represents the account ID. All the U prefixed tags are the children of the root tag <provision version="1" /> and are on the same level. The root tag provision needs an attribute named version with a value to it. Supported configuration items are listed in the following section.

These are samples of configuration files. In most cases, the phone administrator can work out a template based on this to extend and provision several phones.
