Here we would like to describe the different methods how to start a firmware update via Auto-provisioning.

  1. Using provisioning file version 1.1 (Preferred)
  2. Using provisioning file version 1.0
  3. Same procedure like via the web-interface but then via provisioning 

All settings including the firmware update is in one file.

If the version is different then the installed version, the update will be started directly after provisioning. (Existing calls will be disconnected) First the DECT manager will update and when ready, the DECT base stations will download the firmware via HTTP from the DECT Manager. The DECT manager is the download source for the base stations.


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<provisioning version="1.1" productID="e2">

<firmware>

<file version="2.26.0" url="http://192.168.178.200/firmware/n870/N870-V2.26.0.bin" />

</firmware>

<!-- Here are the device settings -->

</provisioning>

Today when you start auto-provisioning and get error message that provisioning failed it could be related to the firmware part described here. It happens when.

  • <firmware> </firmware> is in the file but there is not firmware URL defined.
  • Firmware defined is already the same like the device has so firmware update is skipped.

We will improve this in upcoming firmware that error message is not given,

Even if you see the error message, provisioning will work for the correct defined provisioning parameters.
