2.2 Provisioning
2.2.1 What is Provisioning?
After pre-provisioning has been performed (
®
see 2.1 Pre-provisioning ), you can set up the unit automatically
by downloading the configuration file stored on the provisioning server into the unit. This is called
"provisioning".

2.2.2 Protocols for Provisioning
Provisioning can be performed over HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and TFTP. The protocol you should use differs
depending on how you will perform provisioning. Normally, HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP is used for provisioning. If
you are transmitting encrypted configuration files, it is recommended that you use HTTP. If you are transmitting
unencrypted configuration files, it is recommended that you use HTTPS. You may not be able to use FTP
depending on the conditions of the network router or the network to be used.
2.2.3 Configuration File
This section gives concrete examples of the functions of the configuration file and how to manage it.
The configuration file is a text file that contains the various settings that are necessary for operating the unit.
The files are normally stored on a server maintained by your phone system dealer, and will be downloaded to
the units as required. All configurable settings can be specified in the configuration file. You can ignore settings
that already have the desired values. Only change parameters as necessary.
For details about setting parameters and their descriptions, see
