Figure 4 Auto Provisioning Server Operation
1 Register a VoIP subscriber device and create a subscriber profile in the CRM database.
The device’s type and MAC address have to be stored in the CRM database. You could
set it up so that a subscriber uses a credit card on-line to register for VoIP service and the
CRM database creates the subscriber profile and maps it to a device MAC address.
2 The subscriber connects the VoIP device to the Internet and uses the telephone keypad to
enter the assigned SIP number and PIN code. The subscriber must press *99** SIP
number * PIN code #. For example, *99** 10000002 * 1234 #. After the subscriber
enters this information once, the device uses it to get the latest configuration file every
time the device starts and connects to the Internet.
3 The VoIP device uses the SIP number, PIN code and its MAC address and model name to
authenticate with the auto provisioning server.
4 For a new subscriber, the auto provisioning server requests subscriber specific settings
from the CRM database.
5 The CRM server sends the subscriber specific settings to the auto provisioning server.
6 The provisioning server combines the subscriber specific settings with general SIP setting
to make a configuration file.
7 The subscriber’s VoIP device downloads and uses the configuration file.
