VTech VOIP Phone Configuration
The DHCP Server must be configured with additional DHCP Options containing the URL of
the Auto Provisioning Server to the VTech VoIP phones on boot-up. The phones will then
request their configuration parameters from the Auto Provisioning Server which will result
in a ready-to-use phone setup without manual configuration.
