The phone's interface (Siemens OpenStage) works by telling the phone to contact the server, then having the server respond with the commands once the phone requests them. Downloading a configuration is done by having the server's command be "write these items to your configuration", a reboot is done by saying "restart" instead so the procedure is identical between restart and config update, just that a different command is sent at the end. The restart isn't necessary for deploying the configuration. However after projecting the config the next page in the config web interface asks if you want to restart the phone aned has that checked by default, it's an unnecessary step for these phones since the reboot does nothing except add more downtime. I'm wondering whether the phone needs the reboot option in the web interface at all if it isn't needed for provisioning so it wouldn't confuse the user. The only use would be troubleshooting and in that case I could imagine it being feasible to be physically near the phone anyway.

The restart is so the phone picks up the config (assuming it is subscribed at the time of projection), by restarting it so it grabs the new config file.

That is a default setting, and to change it would require a JIRA issue and agreement with user/developers that this should be "optional".

I (for one) do not find it an issue.

If the phone is NOT subscribed or does not respond to the restart request in a timely manner, it will show as a failed job in "Job Status". This IS a design intent.

    How else do you want to get the config into the phone ?

     I'm adding a phone model to SipXconfig that has its config

    send) but afterwards the interface will prompt for a restart with
    "restart affected devices" ticked by default. Since that'd
    unnecessarily
    waste a lot of time (AFAIK none of the settings require a restart
    when
    changed) I don't want the phones to restart by default, can I
    change the
    default, should I remove the restart function for the phone or is
    there
    another solution?
