Provisioning polling allows phone administrators to schedule fetching the provisioning files (configuration and/or software updates) at a well defined interval or date/time.

In this page we will show how to configure that on our desk phones (D1xx, D3xx, D7xx and D8xx series)

Enabling provisioning polling

To enable provisioning polling, open the Web Interface of your phone, click on Advanced -> Update and set Prov Polling to on.


Configuring provisioning polling

First, decide on the option you want to configure the setting Polling Mode to. Then, continue configuring the necessary settings depending on this.


The following options are available :

Relative

This mode enables phones to check for updates in the provisioning files every X seconds. There are two ways to enable this functionality:

Example: fetch provisioning files every 20 seconds

Required settings:


Absolute

This mode enables phones to check for updates in the provisioning files at an exact time, based on the 24-hour clock. You can set the time in the parameter Polling Time.

Example: check for updates in the provisioning files every day at 09:00

Required settings:


Random

This mode enables phones to check for updates in the provisioning files randomly. The randomness depends on the period set in the Polling Period (in seconds):

  • If the Polling Period is less than one day (<86400 seconds), the phone will check for upgrades at any interval within the Polling Period randomly (see Example 3)
  • If the Polling Period is greater than one day (>=86400 seconds): for example if it is set to 3 days (259200 seconds), the phone will check for upgrades every 3 days, starting the next day after the setting was changed, at a random time between Polling Time and Polling Time Random End

Example 1: check for updates in the provisioning files once a day at a random time between 09:00 and 09:10

Required settings:

This case will have provisioning every day between 09:00-09:10, starting the next day after the setting was changed.

Example 2: check for updates in the provisioning files every 3 days at a random time between 09:00 and 09:10

Required settings:

This case will have provisioning every 3 days between 09:00-09:10, starting the next day after the setting was changed.

Example 3: check for updates in the provisioning files at random intervals between 0 and 3600 seconds

Required settings:

For this case, settings Polling Time and Polling Time Random End are ignored
