VVX310 Firmware updates via FTP only after Factory Default

[OHTorx]

We have VVX301 that get their config files / firmware from ftp.domain.local  We have DHCP options configured to point the server.  We know this communication is working because the device will get some configs and upload application logs.

If I focus on a sample phone:

Phone Model	VVX 310
Part Number	3111-46161-001 Rev:A
MAC Address	64:16:7F:AB:9B:E1
IP Mode	IPv4
IP Address	172.28.120.38
UC Software Version	5.7.1.2205
Updater Version	5.9.1.1991

I have 64167fab9be1.cfg file in the root of the FTP folder.  The contents of this file are below:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<!-- Default Master SIP Configuration File-->
<!-- For information on configuring Polycom VoIP phones please refer to the -->
<!-- Configuration File Management white paper available from: -->

This contents of the POC folder is for version 5.7.1.2205, and the subfolder 5.8.1 contains 5.8.1.7278.  I move files back and foth to the root of POC folder when testing.

the only way i can get the phone to update to the version in the root of the POC folder is to do a factory reset on the phone.  Our gol is to just drop the new files in the folder and within 24 hrs the phone would auto check in then update or worst case on next reboot.

What am i missing?  In "Updating firmware via provisioning server" post I see there was instruction on setting:

<test device.set="1"
	device.prov.upgradeServer.set="1"
		device.prov.upgradeServer="" />

I was unclear of the following:

1. Did this apply to me?  If so...
2. What does "test" define?
3. What file does this get put into?  For my case would it be 64167fab9be1.cfg?
4. Are there any XML header/footers required in that file?

Thanks
