Getting Started

This section provides instructions on how to get ready for auto provisioning. The auto
provisioning process discussed in this guide uses the TFTP server as the provisioning
server.
To begin the auto provisioning process, the following steps are required:
Obtaining Configuration Information
Managing Configuration Files
Before beginning provisioning, you need to obtain configuration files. There are two
configuration files both of which are CFG-formatted. We call these two files Common
CFG file and MAC-Oriented CFG file. The phone tries to download these CFG files from
the server during provisioning.
IP phones also support a local configuration file named as MAC-local.cfg. When a user
modifies configurations via web user interface or phone user interface, the
configurations will be saved to the MAC-local CFG file on the phone.
The MAC-Oriented and MAC-local CFG files are only effectual for the specific phone.
They use the 12-digit MAC address of the phone as the file name. For example, if the
MAC address of the phone is 0015651130F9, the MAC-Oriented CFG and MAC-local
CFG files have to be named as 0015651130F9.cfg and 0015651130F9-local.cfg
respectively. However, the Common CFG file is effectual for all the phones with the
same model. It uses a fixed name “y0000000000XX.cfg” or “y00000000000X.cfg” as the
file name, where "XX" or “X” equals to the first two digits or the first digit (except 0 for
SIP-T28P) of the hardware version of the phone model.
The names of the Common CFG file for each phone model are:
