Automatic provisioning

How it works

1. 1.

   Select the phone brand and model from the integrated database

2. 2.

   Associate the phone with an line and extension

3. 3.

   The system automatically generates the configuration file adapted to the model

4. 4.

   The phone downloads its configuration on boot (DHCP/TFTP/HTTP)

5. 5.

   Firmware updates can be managed centrally

6. 6.

   Configuration changes are pushed automatically

Use cases

• Moving into new premises: the phones arrive, they are plugged in, they work.
• Replacing a faulty handset: the new one takes the previous line with no reconfiguration.
• Deploying across sites: configuration goes out from one place, with no travel.
• A new joiner: their phone is ready before they are.
• A password or setting change: applied to the whole estate without touching the handsets.

Benefits

• Nothing to type on the phone: no twelve-key keypad for entering a server address.
• The common makes are recognised, with their models.
• The same configuration is reused from one extension to the next, which prevents drift.
• A replaced handset takes over the previous line, with no intervention.
• Handset updates are driven from the same place.
• Twenty extensions deploy in an afternoon, not over three days.

Examples

• Twenty extensions for new offices: handsets matched in the morning, plugged in during the afternoon, working by the evening.
• A failed handset: the replacement is plugged in and picks up the line and the history of that extension.
• Three sites equipped from the same screen, with no engineer travelling.
