3.1 Pre-provisioning
3.1.1 What is Pre-provisioning?
To perform pre-provisioning, you must set the IP address of a TFTP server to the DHCP server option 66 so
that the SIP-CS can acquire the TFTP server address. When the SIP-CS starts up and no configuration has
been applied, it will automatically acquire the address of the TFTP server and download the configuration file.
For details about the configuration file, see

For details about the settings that can be configured with the configuration files and how to specify the settings,

Pre-provisioning data
Pre-provisioning can aid the installation process by allowing dealers to configure beforehand the minimum
settings required to operate the SIP-CS.
For example, dealers can store on the TFTP server a configuration file that contains only the URL of a server
where another configuration file is stored. This second configuration file contains settings configured
specifically for the usage environment of the user. The user will be able to start using the SIP-CS by just
connecting it to the network.
Pre-provisioning is performed only once after the SIP-CS has been shipped. Once configuration by
pre-provisioning or provisioning has been applied, pre-provisioning will not be performed again.
Note that the settings configured by pre-provisioning cannot be restored once it has been performed. If you
want to restore them, consult your dealer.
Although pre-provisioning is often used to specify the location of the configuration files for provisioning, you
can configure any of the settings through pre-provisioning. The SIP-CS can be made fully operational by
configuring settings through pre-provisioning.
3.1.2 Pre-provisioning when Setting Static IP Addresses
To perform pre-provisioning, the SIP-CS needs to acquire the TFTP server address from option 66 on a DHCP
server. Therefore, pre-provisioning cannot be performed if you use static IP addressing on your network. If you
