Firmware Update via auto-provisioning

There are several different methods to update firmware through auto-provisioning.

Using <firmware> tag

• In the setting file,
  
  • Add / Change <firmware> tag under <phone-settings> tag.

  • This <firmware> tag should be the URL of the firmware executable file. For example,
    
    

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 
<settings>
    <phone-settings>
        <update_policy perm="">auto_update</update_policy>
        <firmware perm="">http://example.com/firmware/P820/GigasetP82x-SIP10.1.193.12.swu</firmware>
    </phone-settings>
</settings>

• No need to add or configure the firmware setting configuration file.
• Reboot the phone.
• After the reboot, the phone fetches the phone settings configuration file first. Then the phone fetches the firmware setting configuration file. Finally, the phone fetches the firmware executable file.
• The phone starts the software update process.
  
  

Using <firmware_status> tag

• In the setting file,
  

  • Add / Change <firmware_status> tag under <phone-settings> tag.

<settings>
    <phone-settings>
        <update_policy perm="">auto_update</update_policy>
        <firmware_status perm="">http://example.com/firmware.xml</firmware_status>
    </phone-settings>
</settings>

• In the firmware configuration file,

  • Add/change <firmware> tag under <firmware_settings> tag

  • This <firmware> tag should be the URL of the firmware executable file. For example,
    
    

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 
<firmware-settings>
    <firmware perm="">http://example.com/gigasetP820-193.bin</firmware>
