Hi,
We've just put SAIL 2.1.11, build 181 onto the ftp server and its got something a bit different in it which we'd like you to try.
181, despite its rather humble release designation, has the base architecture in it to do fully automatic provisioning for your phones and ATA's.
In simple terms this means you can plug the phone in and it will get its identity directly from SARK/SAIL. No more messing about with the myriad phone settings, it will be set up entirely automatically for you (well, almost - you do have to point the phone at SARK/SAIL but that's all).
To do this, we've implemented a TFTP server in 181. Further, as a first out, we've created an add-on rpm which allows us to automatically provision the popular Grandstream range of phones. That's the BT 101/102 and the GXS2000 units. Next we plan to include Sipura devices, probably followed by Mitel and SNOM.
The outcome is that you only have to fill out one field in the grandstream browser; - the tftp address (which is the address of your SARK/SAIL box). You then create an extension for the phone in SARK/SAIL making sure that you include the mac address of the phone in the mac-id field. Press save and SARK/SAIL will automatically generate the configuration file for the phone and store it onto the TFTP server. Now you just need to reboot the phone and it will be automatically configured with its extension number and all of the correct settings to communicate correctly with SAIL.
Finally, because we've had to incorporate some none-gpl code for the grandstreams, we've had to create a separate add-on rpm. You will also need to install the base tftp-server (using Yum). To help you get going we've created a how-to on the docs site which you can find here
