Chapter 11: Provisioning the IP Deskphone
Device Settings
For provisioning the Device Settings parameters, the IP Deskphones support the following
provisioning modes:
• Manual provisioning
• Automatic provisioning
The IP Deskphone obtains configuration parameters that are defined as AUTO in the Auto
Provisioning page from an 802.1ab switch (LLDP) or DHCP server. For more information, see
Parameter source precedence rules on page 140.
Manual provisioning
The manual provisioning of IP Deskphone parameters overrides the configuration of parameters by
any other provisioning source. Technicians can use manual provisioning to override system wide
parameters for troubleshooting purposes or to provide special needs configurations for a small
group of users.
Automatic provisioning
The Automatic provisioning feature creates a flexible provisioning method, which
• covers the existing provisioning parameters
• supports the extension of the provisioning parameters
• supports provisioning parameters in automatic provisioning modes, when possible
• creates a common provisioning information format that supports DHCP provisioning
You can store common provisioning parameters in a managed central server, such as a DHCP
server. You can configure the IP Deskphone to automatically or manually obtain the provisioning
parameters from the various provisioning sources. By default, the IP Deskphone automatically
provisions most parameters.
For automatic provisioning, the IP Deskphone receives the parameters from the provisioning server.
You can switch between automatic provisioning to manual provisioning on the Auto Provisioning
page. You enter parameter information on the Configuration page.
