If by periodic you mean Webster's definition "occurring repeatedly
from time to time" then yes. Make sure you reset the phone to defaults
and make sure you are using the spc.exe version that matches your
firmware (the ones from spc.pifiu.com are OLD .. but should somewhat
work... and last I checked Linksys didn't have a version for their
latest firmware) and that you are using a config template from the
same version.

Your best option is to join the Linksys serviceprovider program and
work with their support on your issues. The SPA-phones will provision
somewhat -- resync on SIP NOTIFY is broken and resysnc on
reboot/periodic doesn't work exactly as I expected it to. I can't even
get the SPA-ATA to apply the config even when using the exact spc.exe
version for the device. Go figure.

If you are trying to use non-complied ("XML") profiles... don't even
bother wasting your time.
