[asterisk-users] OT Provisioning http-server-enabled devices (Was: Siemens Gigaset DECT base provisioning)

[Eric Chamberlain]

What you describe is doable; we have a number of device configuration
wizards.  

 

But it is generally easier to use the device's bulk provisioning
methods, like https an XML configuration file to the device.  The
provisioning settings a pretty standard and don't change very often.

 

The problem with using the user web interface is that the manufacturers
quite often change the interface with new firmware releases, so you are
constantly updating the scripts.

Subject: [asterisk-users] OT Provisioning http-server-enabled devices
(Was: Siemens Gigaset DECT base provisioning)

 

hello,

I would to define and unattended process to configure devices which are
http-server-enabled, use DHCP but do not use TFTP-DCHP to configure
themselves during boot.

Has anyone worked on such subject ?

I was thinking of something like :

populating configuration file from device web pages (rendering this as
generic and flexible as possible)
writing a script which reads this file and set each parameter using http

writing a script which monitors network environment to trigger previous
when certain events occur.

All this is not very clear for me, yet.

Regards
