See
2
Create an SPTGEN file. Use the
Auto Provision
screen, described in
, to create this file. You will need one of the following: the MAC
address of the IP phone or ATA or the serial number associated with a ZyXEL
softphone. This information is used to uniquely identify the device that you want
to assign an extension to.
3
Configure the auto provisioning compliant ZyXEL device (or softphone) to receive
configuration information from the X2002. This typically involves specifying the
protocol used for auto provisioning. At the time of writing, you can use HTTP
protocol for auto provisioning with the X2002. See the documentation that came
with your ZyXEL device for information on how to do this.
How Auto Provisioning Works
When a ZyXEL device is configured for auto provisioning, it attempts to find an
auto provisioning server on its network. ZyXEL devices use Simple Service
Discovery Protocol (SSDP) to find the IP address of an auto provisioning server
(for example the X2002). This process is referred to as auto discovery. Some
ZyXEL devices allow you to enter the IP address of the auto provisioning server.
Note: The auto discovery process is limited to your LAN.
Once a ZyXEL VoIP devices finds the X2002, it sends an HTTP request for a
configuration file. The X2002 checks to see if it has a configuration file associated
with the serial number or MAC address of the ZyXEL device requesting the
configuration file. If the X2002 has the configuration file, then it sends the
configuration file to the ZyXEL VoIP device.
