Upgrading, Resyncing, and Rebooting Phones
Provisioning Basics
• Firmware-path defaults to /spa.bin (for example, http://192.168.2.217/admin/
upgrade?tftp://192.168.2.251/spa.bin). The firmware-pathname is typically the file
name of the binary located in a directory on the TFTP or HTTP server.
Resyncing a Phone
You can resync a SPA9x2 phone to a specific remote profile. The configuration of the phone you

provisioning systems. Supported transport protocols include TFTP, HTTP, and HTTPS with client
certificates.
256-bit symmetric key encryption of profiles is supported. In addition, an unprovisioned
