Automatic provisioning through Device Enrollment Services
Device Enrollment Services provides a mechanism for Avaya endpoints to be securely
authenticated and redirected to a preconfigured provisioning server. The DNS address of Device
Enrollment Services is hard coded to the device firmware.
After you connect the out-of-the-box device to the network, Device Enrollment Services redirects
(automatically or just inserting a numeric code) the device to the provisioning server and then the
installation procedure begins automatically.
The Avaya CU360 attempts to communicate with Device Enrollment Services during the start-up
to obtain the provisioning server address.
If the device detects that it is not associated with a customer site and activated in Device
Enrollment Services (claimed), then it will prompt for an enrollment code inside the Quick Setup
procedure, selecting "Multiple Meeting Services" >"Automatic Setup" >You have a service code >
DES Enrollment Code.
Device Enrollment Services supports an 8-digit or 12-digit enrollment code.

–
After having received the provisioning server URL from the DES server (automatically or inserting
the enrollment code), the Avaya CU360 will connect to it to start the configuration phase.
At first, the Avaya CU360 tries to download the CU360Supgrade.txt file; it uses this file only to be
redirected to the settings file containing the configuration parameters generally named
46xxsettings.txt . Depending on implemented configuration scenario some information (enterprise
credentials, SIP Phone details) could be asked to the user in the Quick Setup procedure.
