Summary of recommended configuration and deployment procedure:
•
Enter the phone's MAC address, associated username and password into the VPN
Concentrator’s database.
•
Configure the phones using the preferred method of MAC address specific
configuration files. Note: since there is no user specific configuration relating to
VPN’s, a master configuration may be created that is then replicated for each MAC
address as needed.
•
Power-up the phone on the corporate (local) network with the VPN setting to Off
(Refer to manual setting). This will cache the config file with the VPN settings in the
phone.
•
Set VPN to ON via the on-screen Setup menu and verify a successful VPN connection
via a public internet connection.
•
Phone is shipped to remote location and should automatically establish the VPN
connection when connected to the users’s home or remote office network assuming
DHCP operation.
