3.8 Supported Provisioning Server Discovery Methods
After the phone has established network connection, a provisioning server address should be obtained for
configuration settings.
The IP phone supports the following methods to discover the provisioning server address:
PnP: PnP feature allows IP phones to discover the provisioning server address by broadcasting the PnP
SUBSCRIBE message during startup.
DHCP: DHCP option can be used to provide the address or URL of the provisioning server to IP phones.
When the IP phone requests an IP address using the DHCP protocol, the response may contain option 66
(for IPv4)/option 59 (for IPv6) or the custom option (if configured) that contains the provisioning server
address.
Static: You can manually configure the server address via phone user interface or web user interface.
