> Key: XCF-2736
> URL: http://track.sipfoundry.org/browse/XCF-2736
> Project: sipXconfig
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: polycom
> Reporter: Paul Mossman
> Priority: Minor
>
> This request is enable the Polycom SoundPoint IP capability to store/retrieve
> its logs, contact list, and user preferences to/from an FTP server.
> See http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-dev/msg12912.html for the
> background discussion, and the Polycom firmware Administration Guide for
> configuration details.
> The [MAC].cfg (or 00000000000.cfg) file is used to configure this capability,
> through the CONTACTS_DIRECTORY and LOG_FILE_DIRECTORY attributes. The value
> can be a URL with an alternate directory, server, username and password. The
> FTP server must allow creation and modification of files, so the existing FTP
> directory and "PlcmSpIp" username are not an option.
> My preference is to continue to use the sipXecs FTP server, but simply use an
> alternate username and path. This is easiest for administrators, but there
> is a risk in allowing filesystem write access to the call server with a
> trivial username and password. (Perhaps this risk could be mitigated by a
> separate partition, or disk quotas?)
> Alternately a remote FTP server could be used, which would remove the risk.
> But this adds complexity for the installer to set-up, and also would require
> additional configuration work.
> This functionality should handle the case where the Phone's "Serial number"
> (MAC address) is changed in sipXconfig. (This happens when phones are
> swapped or replaced.) The contact list and user preferences files contain
> the MAC address of the phone. If the user is given a new phone, the
> administrator will update the "Serial number" in sipXconfig. When this
> happen the names of the files should also be changes so that the new phone
> picks up the user's contact list and user preferences. (This should be done
> regardless of whether the FTP server is local or remote.)
