LIP-6812 & LIP-6830 Installer Guide
Rev. 01.04 F-2 June 07
NOTE: If a value is changed for a Field Name marked with an asterik in Table D-1, the reboot
flag will be enabled and the LIP Phone will reboot after download cycle is completed. By default,
the Phone Specific file uses the MAC address of the Phone as the file name with no file
extension.
After completing download of the Configuration files, the LIP Phone will request the software
version file from the Server. This file named, “LIP_6812_VER_SIP2” or “LIP_6830_VER_SIP2”
based on the Phone model, is an ASCII text file that identifies the software version available on
the Server as well as the names of the files to be downloaded. The Phone compares the
software version identified in the file with the version in the Phone. If different, the files identified
in the version file are downloaded; typically the files required for download include the main
firmware file and an xml file but, may include other files as needed for the upgrade. These files
along with the version file are available from LG-Nortel. If desired, comments may be added to
the version file using “#” as the leading character of the comment line.
If software download is required, after completion the LIP phone will enable the reboot flag and
after completing the download cycle, the LIP Phone will reboot.
HTTP/HTTPS downloads
When HTTP/HTTPS is employed, the LIP Phone will contact the URL defined in the
Configuration memory or in the assigned HTTPS DHCP Option, default #160 when available
and enabled. When the DHCP Option is populated, the Phone will employ to HTTP/HTTPS
instead of the default TFTP mode. If the server uses HTTPS, the Phone will establish an open
SSL link. During the SSL handshake, the Phone may optionally verify that the HTTPS
Certification is valid. The LIP Phone will verify the Certification is from a valid authority such as
Verisign, the server name is correct and the certificate has not expired. Each of these three
verifications is enabled by default in the Phone Configuration memory but can be disabled using
the Configuration file or through the Phone Web Admin. The LIP Phone supports several
standard CAs including Verisign. In addition, a CA may be copy to the phone using the Web
Admin.
If the HTTP/HTTPS Server requires authentication, the Phone uses the HTTPS ID and
Password assigned in the Configuration memory; the Phone supports the basic and digest
method. At this point, the phone will follow the same routine as for TFTP. The LIP Phone will
request the Global configuration file (“sysconf_6812d_sip.cfg” for the LIP-6812 or
“sysconf_6830d_sip.cfg” for the LIP-6830). If the file is provided as an unencrypted file,
configuration data is transferred to the phone memory. If the file is not readable, the Phone will
attempt to decrypt the file using the decryption key in memory (“decrypt_key”).
Changes in the Provisioning data from Global Configuration file are transferred to the phone
memory and the download process is repeated for the Phone Specific Configuration file.
Configuration data in the Phone Specific file will overwrite data from the Global file.
With the Global Configuration file downloaded, the Phone will repeat the process for the Phone
Specific Configuration file. Configuration data in the Phone Specific file will overwrite data from
the Global file.
