<div>Thx guys:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The behaviour on the Profile rules seems to be little unpredictable when using Broadsoft Guide. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Here is what we have tried:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>From the Phone UI point it to tftp://a.b.c.d/spa952.xml</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The above file has 2 rule entries like this?</div>
<div> </div>
<div> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><br><flat-profile><br><Resync_On_Reset>Yes</Resync_On_Reset><br><Resync_Periodic>10</Resync_Periodic><br>
<Transport_Protocol group="Provisioning/Configuration_Profile">tftp</Transport_Protocol><br><Profile_Rule>tftp://<a href="http://1.1.1.1/942System.xml">1.1.1.1/942System.xml</a></Profile_Rule><br>
<Profile_Rule_B ua="na">tftp://<a href="http://1.1.1.1/$MA.xml">1.1.1.1/$MA.xml</a></Profile_Rule_B><br></flat-profile> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>When we hand craft the 2 files with cherry picked configurations, Phone downloads first the system file and then the MAC.xml files..and comes up.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>However we we use the Broadsoft suggested templates, it downloads only the system file and not the mac.xml file and lines never register obviously</div>
<div> </div>
<div> I wanted help understanding what logic the phone uses to download each file and where does it look for pointers from one file to the other.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thx in advance...<br><br></div>

They've intentionally added random delays. The Linksys might reboot, then have default delays of 15 minutes before it downloads the configuration. It's possible that it will download the file you told it too in the Provisioning rule . . . eventually.<br>
</blockquote><br></div>This is true, but you can force a resync:<br><br>http://<address>/admin/resync?<u></u>[--key <key>] https://<server>/<url>.cfg<br><br>If you don't use HTTPS, you can omit the key stuff.

</blockquote><br></div>The SPA series, with the exception of the SPA525G, has been stable and unchanged for many years. However it was ignored/maligned/ill supported by many vendors. I'm not sure why. Everyone here would rather work on those phones than any other, and all of us have them on our desks. We've deployed more SPA phones than any other.
