PROVISIONING
Overview
Grandstream SIP Devices can be configured via Web interface as well as via configuration file through
TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS download. All Grandstream SIP devices support a proprietary binary format configuration
file and XML format configuration file. The UCM630xA provides a Plug and Play mechanism to auto-provision
the Grandstream SIP devices in a zero-configuration manner by generating XML config file and having the phone
to download it within LAN area. This allows users to finish the installation with ease and start using the SIP
devices in a managed way.
To provision a phone, three steps are involved, i.e., discovery, configuration, and provisioning. This section
explains how Zero Config works on the UCM630xA. The settings for this feature can be accessed via Web
GUIValue-added FeaturesZero Config.
Configuration Architecture for End Point Device
Started from firmware version 1.0.7.10, the end point device configuration in zero config is divided into the
following three layers with priority from the lowest to the highest:
Global
This is the lowest layer. Users can configure the most basic options that could apply to all Grandstream SIP
devices during provisioning via Zero config.
Model
In this layer, users can define model-specific options for the configuration template.
Device
This is the highest layer. Users can configure device-specific options for the configuration for individual
device here.
Each layer also has its own structure in different levels. Please see figure below. The details for each layer are
explained in sections [Global Configuration], [Model configuration] and [Device Configuration].
