Purpose
Requesting the CTL file
6.
The TFTP server stores the certificate trust list (CTL)
file. This file contains a list of Cisco Unified
Communications Managers and TFTP servers that the
phone is authorized to connect to. It also contains the
certificates necessary for establishing a secure
connection between the phone and Cisco Unified
Communications Manager.
Requesting the Configuration File
7.
The TFTP server has configuration files, which define
parameters for connecting to Cisco
Unified Communications Manager and other
information for the phone.
Contacting Cisco Unified Communications Manager
8.
The configuration file defines how the Cisco
Unified IP Phone communicates with Cisco
Unified Communications Manager and provides a
phone with its load ID. After obtaining the file from
the TFTP server, the phone attempts to make a
connection to the highest priority Cisco
Unified Communications Manager on the list. If
security is implemented, the phone makes a TLS
connection. Otherwise, it makes a non-secure TCP
connection.
If the phone was manually added to the database,
Cisco Unified Communications Manager identifies
the phone. If the phone was not manually added to the
database and auto-registration is enabled in Cisco
Unified Communications Manager, the phone
attempts to auto-register itself in the Cisco
Unified Communications Manager database.
Auto-registration is disabled when security is
Note
enabled on Cisco Unified Communications
Manager. In this case, the phone must be
manually added to the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager database.
