Automatic phone provisioning
Configuration file
: ".cfg" format.
This file contains a list of telnet commands for configuring phone settings: TCP/IP parameters, phone
book, memory keys and feature keys, display, languages, web activation, tone table, etc. (see
"Related documentation", page 2).
If your phone(s) use the MGCP protocol, the configuration file also contains the "addDeckFile"
command for loading a specific file (.svd) that contains RFC 3149 settings.
MGCP XML display package file
: ".svd" format.
This allows to build phone displays using XML format. For further information, please refer to the
MGCP XML manual.
Plug and Play provisioning
The Plug and Play method is particularly adapted to the provision of several phones at the same time.
The minimum requirements are one DHCP server and one TFTP server. One additional FTP server
can also be used.
Simply follow next steps to provision Swissvoice IP phones:
Step 1 – Configure network parameters
Before powering up the phone:
1-
Read the MAC address printed at the bottom of the phone.
2-
Register the phone’s MAC address on your DHCP server and configure the following
parameters:
-
Phone IP address
-
Subnet mask
-
DNS address (DHCP option n°6)
-
Gateway address (DHCP option n°3)
-
TFTP server address (DHCP option n°66)
-
Boot file name (.inf extension) (DHCP option n°67)
-
It is also possible to use an FTP server instead of the TFTP server. In this case, you will
first have to power up the phone and give the FTP server address through the phone
web-based interface (see "Semi-automatic method", page, 7).
Step 2 – Register Information and Configuration files in TFTP/FTP servers
Before powering up the phone:
1 – Decompress the information file in your TFTP server.
