Gratissip Tftpd Provisioning, part2
The website is now as complete as I think it should be, so a short introduction should be in place to show the new interface, and how it should be worked with. If you already used the old interface, I hope you'll be able to enjoy this one aswell.
Quick provisioning
The first thing I looked at was, that it should be more easy to select a firmware quickly, without reading through more than one page, and without giving out your e-mail address.
As the above screenshot shows, you have to do three steps, and you are up and running with the firmware of your choice.
When you are using the "quick" (anonymous) provisioning, there are some things to be aware of.
- First, You can only select HT286/HT486 series firmware versions.
- Second, Other persons might also enter "your" MAC address.
Still latest firmwares
It is still possible to see latest firmwares. You can also use the RSS feed on the page to subscribe to firmware news that way if you like. It is also still possible to give comments on the firmwares so you can get an idea which firmwares are good and which are not.
Your phones
By signing up, you can register MAC addresses (phones) as belonging to you. On a seperate page, you have the option to view your list of phones.
Your phones' settings
Also the interface for provisioning phones has been updated, so it is now somehow easier to handle those parts. Also notice that you can set firmware versions for other types of phones than the Handytone series.
Next; API
When the API is how I would like it to be, then I will create another post on how that can be used. Until then ...
