Getting Started

This section provides instructions on how to get ready for auto provisioning. To begin the
auto provisioning process, the following steps are required:
Before beginning provisioning, you need to obtain configuration files. There are two
configuration files both of which are CFG-formatted. We call these two files Common
CFG file and MAC-Oriented CFG file. The IP phone tries to download these CFG files
from the server during auto provisioning.
IP phones also support a local configuration file named as <MAC>-local.cfg. When a
user modifies configurations via web user interface or phone user interface, the
configurations will be automatically saved to the MAC-local CFG file on the IP phone.
You can ask the distributor or Yealink FAE for Common CFG and MAC-Oriented files. You
can also obtain the Common CFG file and MAC-Oriented file online:

To download Common CFG and MAC-Oriented files:
1.
Go to Yealink
page and select the desired phone model.
2.
Download and extract the combined configuration files to your local system.
For W56P, the <MAC>-local.cfg file only saves configurations of the base station
configured via the handset or web user interface. Configurations of the handset cannot
be saved to the <MAC>-local.cfg file.
