35.17.2 Massive deployment
This deployment method is used when the administrator wishes to register the terminals directly with
Aastra 5000 without the user having to take any action.
This method allows a deployment to be made via an Excel form provided on the CD-ROM of the
A5000 R5.4 software meant for deploying A6700i series terminals. This method requires modifying the
configuration of the DHCP server so the A6700i series terminal connects to the account used for day-
to-day management (ftp_6700i by default on an integrated FTP server).
The diagram below illustrates this method:
 A form is delivered on the A5000 R5.4 software CD-ROM. From this form the global and
specific data of the terminals are collected and exported in .csv format. The specific data are
indexed by the terminal's MAC address.
The following parameters must be entered in the specific parameters file:
 Terminal MAC address
 Subscriber number
The iPbx IP address is not required because of the login site optimisation.
 The operator then selects:
 The global and specific data of A6700i series terminals in .csv format, to be imported
into TMA
 The terminal software package to be deployed
 The integrated FTP server on which these data are stored.
 The operator validates the deployment operation: the terminal software, language files, global
and specific data are then automatically placed on the integrated FTP server via some
symbolic links.
 The operator connects the terminal to the LAN and this latter registers to his reference site via
automatic login using the login site optimisation tool, if necessary.
Deployment may be made in the subnet; thus, the FTP server differs according to the subnet in which
the terminal is declared. So, it is possible to spread the FTP server load during deployment.
