Central Provisioning
The following figure shows how the phone operates with the provisioning server when
using the central provisioning method:
Central Provisioning
Using configuration files to provision phones and to modify features and configurations
is called the central provisioning method. A text-based editing application can be used to
edit configuration files, and then store configuration files to a provisioning server. Skype
for Business phones can be centrally provisioned from a provisioning server. For more
information on the provisioning server, refer to “Set up a Provisioning Server” on page
88. For more information on configuration files, refer to “Configuration Files” on page
85.
Skype for Business phones can obtain the provisioning server address during startup.
Phones then download configuration files from the provisioning server, then resolve and
update the configurations written in configuration files. This entire process is called auto
provisioning. For more information on auto provisioning, refer the UC-PHONE Auto
Provisioning Guide (Doc. 8368) from
www.crestron.com/manuals
.
In addition to the configuration files, the phones also download resource files during auto
provisioning. For more information on resource files, refer to “Resource Files” on page 86.
In-Band Provisioning Settings
After the phone is signed in, the phone receives settings from the Skype for Business
server pool through in-band provisioning.
