Re: [asterisk-users] Polycom XML Files / asterisk
So for HTTP provisioning in a hosted environment, how would you make it secure using Option 66 in a customers router. Would you have to pass a variable with a password in the Option 66 string? eg http://http.provider.com?customer=999?password=password and would the polycoms automatically be able to upload log files etc using a method such as this? Does anyone have any ideas on running this securely?

Since, we're on the the topic of phones, and TFTPing.. if someone on this thread has some knowledge of putting configs on Cisco IP Phone 7960, can they please contact me off list?

Re: [asterisk-users] Polycom XML Files / asterisk
Limiting to HTTP would be OK if every customer had a static IP - if you have small offices, then they maybe on DSL without static IP, which makes that difficult - you could of course force your users to have static IPs.

On the same subject, I have noticed that Snom and Linksys phones do not support FTP provisioning - only TFTP and HTTP. With TFTP being an insecure option for a hosted architecture, is everyone moving to provision Polycoms with HTTP, so that both can be auto-provisioned via Option 66.

TFTP is UDP-based and is therefore routable. You can TFTP across the Internet if you want to. The issues with TFTP have always been: 1. It's UDP-based, so lossy networks can corrupt your file transfer. 2. Inability to transfer files larger than 32 MB. 3. Fixed block size of 512 bytes means slw transfers. 4. No authentication at all (though admittedly that's by design). Items 2 and 3 are not quite true anymore, as many TFTP clients and servers now support "extended" modes with varying block sizes, allowing for larger and faster transfers. They are not universally supported, though. -James ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

If you are just making simple edits, like phone number, name, etc., then why not script it? Create a base XML file (or several if you have several classes of users.) Then using perl/sed/whatever replace things like __PHONENUMBER__ with the actual phone number. It's even easier with perl, the templates can be in the perl script and you can use variable substitution and even connect to a master database with the records, e.g. "make_polycom.pl 1234" could look up the info for 1234 and make the file, upload it to your FTP server, etc. This is on my wish list of things to do, but I can't see me needing more than like 20 phones, so "vi" and regex substitution works rather well.

I edit the files in XML Notepad, then push them to an FTP server. The phones all look to the FTP server for provisioning. I have phones in small offices & home offices around the USA all provisioned from an FTP server in the UK. No issues at all.

Re: [asterisk-users] Polycom XML Files / asterisk
Thanks Jose, that is a clever little script. However, I am trying to deploy in a hosted environment, so the provisioning server is not on the same LAN as the phones. It would be useful in a premise deployment for sure. Thank you. Just can't believe isn't a web-based XML editor so you can edit files directly from a browser. :-) R On Wed, May 14, 2008 at 5:30 PM, Andreas van dem Helge <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > There's also mcedit.

There's also mcedit. It has a pretty clickable interface. Or you can just install TrixBox.

Re: [asterisk-users] Polycom XML Files / asterisk
I use a simple Perl script (attached) to generate a template for each new phone. This keeps the fiddling to a minimum. It's meant to be fed the output of nmap like this: "nmap -sP 10.1.1.0/24 | ./checkExten.pl". Replace "10.1.1.0/24" with whatever IP range you use for your phones, of course. You'll also have to change the "Dummy Extension" registration parameters and the "mycompany" settings with whatever is appropriate for your site.

M$ gives away XML Notepad 2007 which has proven handy for this sort of thing.

[asterisk-users] Polycom XML Files / asterisk
Hi, Does anyone know how to apply a style sheet to the polycom automatic provisioning XML files? Even better, does anyone know of a web-based XML editor where you can just edit the files from a browser directly ie entering in phone number, display name, proxy address etc. From what I gather, most people are just using Notepad to change the files then upload them, or vi from the command line, which is fiddly and time-consuming.
