Description of the Invention (^) The following settings 値 must be set and managed first: (1) IP address or DNS name of the management terminal (Call Agent ...) and / or the default port number Number (default port number): 俾 These Internet-type telephone equipment can find the management end by this IP address or DNS name and communicate with it. (2) IP address of DNS server: These Internet-type telephone equipment borrow the IP address to find the DNS server, and use the DNS name of the management terminal (Call Agent ···) to convert it to the corresponding address. IP address. (3) Distinguished name of Internet-type telephone equipment (such as: gateway domain imme in MGCP endpoint identifier): These Internet-type telephone equipment use the distinguished name to enable the management terminal (Call Agent ···) to identify and use The identity of the user, rather than using the IP address of the telephone device to confirm the identity of the user. Therefore, these Internet-type telephone devices may be assigned to different IP addresses at any time. (4) The driver software file name (filename) of the Internet-type telephone equipment and the IP address of the TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) server: These Internet-type telephone equipment use this information to determine whether to perform software Upgrade of version. These Internet-type telephone equipment can be used to complete the setting or modification of the aforementioned settings in the following two ways: ⑴ An RS-232 port is provided by these Internet-type telephone equipment, so that managers can use the computer's COM Port, connect the cable directly to the RS-232 port, and then use the software installed on the computer (such as the terminal of win98) to log in to the setting screen of the Internet phone device and directly set or modify it . The disadvantage of this setting method is that the manager must go directly to the location of the internet-type telephone equipment to set or modify it. Therefore, where the internet-type telephone equipment is located, the manager must go to the location and perform Set or modify, causing great waste of manpower and time. (2) An HTTP server (or TELNET server) is provided by these Internet-type telephone equipment, so that management personnel can use a computer to access the Internet at a remote location, and log in to the -3-book through a web browser (or TELNET). Paper size applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) -Line · Printed by the Ministry of Economic Affairs Intellectual Property Bureau Employee Consumer Cooperative 508935 A7 B7 Ministry of Economy Wisdom Printing of clothing by employees' cooperatives of the Property Bureau V. Description of the invention (3) The setting screen of Internet-type telephone equipment, which can be set or modified. The disadvantage of this setting method is that the management staff must know the IP address of each Internet-type telephone device in order to log in to the setting screen of the telephone device correctly. And no one telephone device can have the same with another telephone device. The same IP address will cause great distress to the management staff. Because when the administrator sets or repairs the internet phone device through the aforementioned web browser, the action is to first find out the IP address of the first internet phone device and log in to the setting screen. Set it and then leave; find out the IP address of the next phone device, log in, set it, and leave; 嗣, find out the IP address of another phone device 'login' and enter the setting 'Then leave' Do this, iteratively, until all Internet phone equipment has been set up. Therefore, if there are ten Internet-type telephone devices, the manager must perform ten similar setting actions in the morning; if there are thousands of devices, the manager must perform thousands of similar setting actions, and once in the future These settings are changed. 'The aforementioned setting actions (including the management side and the user side) must be performed again. This is a very labor-intensive and time-consuming project. In particular, in the case of the explosion of the number of Internet-type telephone communication users, the huge number of Internet-type telephone equipment is bound to cause great distress to the management operators in setting, management and maintenance. Therefore, how can the setting and management of such network-type telephone equipment be more automated, which can greatly reduce manpower, shorten the operation time, and effectively reduce errors caused by human settings, so that the management end can easily target distribution Quickly and automatically setting or changing the settings on Internet-type telephone equipment at the end of use in various places has become an important issue for the design, development, and manufacturing of Internet-type telephone equipment. Summary of the Invention: In view of this, in order to improve the many shortcomings in the setting and management of the traditional network telephone equipment described above, the inventor finally developed and designed the automatic setting network of the present invention after a long period of hard research and experimentation. 4- ---- 丨! !! ----- #.
