Files Download Process
When you provision the phones, the phones will request to download the boot files, configuration files and resource
files from the provisioning server according to the following flowchart:
The parameters in the newly downloaded configuration files will override the same parameters in files downloaded
earlier.
Provisioning Methods
Yealink provides two ways to provision your phones:
l
Manual Provisioning: provisioning via the local phone user interface or web user interface.
l
Central Provisioning: provisioning through configuration files stored in a central provisioning server.
The method you use depends on how many phones need to be deployed and what features and settings to be con-
figured. Manual provisioning on the web or phone user interface does not contain all of the phone settings available
with the centralized method. You can use the web user interface method in conjunction with a central provisioning
method and phone user interface method. We recommend using centralized provisioning as your primary provisioning
method when provisioning multiple phones.
