Provisioning - Alcatel Temporis IP150 Manual

Provisioning

Provisioning refers to the process of acquiring and applying new settings for the phone
using configuration files retrieved from a remote computer. After a phone is deployed,
subsequent provisioning can update the phone with new settings; for example, if your
service provider releases new features.
With automatic provisioning, you enable the phone to get its settings automatically—the
process occurs in the background as part of routine system operation. Automatic
provisioning can apply to multiple phones simultaneously.
With manual provisioning, you update the phone settings (configuration and/or firmware)
yourself. Manual provisioning can only be performed on one phone at a time.
On the Provisioning page, you can enter settings that will enable the IP phone to
receive automatic configuration and firmware updates. The Provisioning page also allows
you to manually update phone configuration from a locally stored configuration file using
an Import function. You can also export the phone's configuration—either to back it up or
to apply it to another phone—to a file on your computer.
The provisioning process functions according to the Resynchronization settings and
Provisioning Server Settings. The phone checks for the provisioning URL from the
following sources in the order listed below. If one of these sources is disabled, not
available, or has not been configured, the phone proceeds to the next source until
reaching the end of the list.
1. DHCP Options—this setting is set on the WebUI and/or the configuration file. Before
enabling the DHCP options on the Provisioning page, ensure that DHCP is enabled on
the Network > Basic settings page. Otherwise, enabling DHCP for provisioning will not
work.
2. Preconfigured URL—this setting is set on the WebUI and/or the configuration file.
After changing any settings on this page, click Save to save them.
