Auto-provisioning with Asterisk and ST2030 Technicolor/Thomson phones

0

An introduction to the ST2030

The ST2030 is one of the few SIP phones distributed by Thomson (now changed name to Technicolor). In fact there are only 2 models: the ST2020, and the ST2030, and also a new one, the TB30, which is the successor to the ST2030. The ST2030 is supposed to have an End-of-Life set to the end of this year (2010), but I read that its EOL has been extended to the end of 2012.
In my personal experience, I think the ST2030 has the best price/functionalities/quality ratio. It has features like:

  • PoE (Power over Ethernet).
  • Headphone plug with a button on the phone to pickup with the headphone (or if you have a compatible headphone, pickup directly with a button on the headphone).
  • XML based Directory support, that you can interface with a remote HTTP server.
  • 4 differents lines/profiles (but not at the same time).
  • BLF (Busy Lamp Fields) to monitor other’s phone status (if they are using their phone, and even possibility to intercept a call).
  • Full compatibilty with Asterisk (tested on Asterisk 1.6+ and 1.8+).
  • Auto-provisioning with support for TFTP but also for HTTP/HTTPS, which simplifies quite a lot the provisioning configuration.

In this document, we’ll see the auto-provisioning process through DHCP+HTTP.

You want to get all of your photos from that card automatically as soon as you insert your card (may be a USB key as well), that is, run a script which will search for all of your photos, and copy them to a local directory.
