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.
The MAC-Oriented CFG file is only effectual for the specific phone. It uses 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 file name must be 0015651130F9.cfg.
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:
