So it sounds like we should generate the profiles but leave it up to the installer to actually restart the phones. The restart wasn't guaranteed anyway since the phone registration may have expired while the system was down, and it's best to be predicatable.

The goal of system management is to keep users from calling you with problems. Good system managers do this mostly by preventing problems from occurring, or solving them before users notice. Clever system managers avoid doing things like causing every phone in the building to restart in rapid succession - because it makes users nervous and some of them call to report it. Most SIP phones have decided that it is important that they make some kind of noise when they reboot (really bad idea, by the way), which makes a mass reboot kind of unnerving in a big cubicle-office environment. ("beep, beep, beep, beep, ....") I'd say this is something that should happen only when the administrator explicitly says it should happen. _______________________________________________ sipx-dev mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-dev Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-dev
