Deploying Phones From The Provisioning Server - Yealink SIP-T48G Administrator's Manual

The provisioning server can be on the local LAN or anywhere on the Internet. Use the
following procedure as a recommendation if this is your first provisioning server setup.
For more information on how to set up a provisioning server, refer to Yealink IP Phones
Auto Provisioning Guide, available online:
http://www.yealink.com/DocumentDownload.aspx?CateId=142&flag=142.
To set up the provisioning server:
1. Install a provisioning server application or locate a suitable existing server.
2. Create an account and home directory.
3. Set security permissions for the account.
4. Create configuration files and edit them as desired.
5. Copy the configuration files and resource files to the provisioning server.

Deploying Phones from the Provisioning Server

Note
Typically all phones are configured with the same server account, but the server account
provides a means of conveniently partitioning the configuration. Give each account a
unique home directory on the server and change the configuration on a per-line basis.
The parameters in the new downloaded configuration files will override the duplicate
parameters in files downloaded earlier. During auto provisioning, IP phones download
the common configuration file first, and then the MAC-Oriented file. Therefore any
parameter in the MAC-Oriented configuration file will override the same one in the
common configuration file.
Yealink supplies configuration files for each phone model, which is delivered with the
phone firmware. The configuration files, supplied with each firmware release, must be
used with that release. Otherwise, configurations may not take effect, and the IP phone
will behave without exception. Before you configure parameters in the configuration
files, Yealink recommends that you create new configuration files containing only those
parameters that require changes.
To deploy IP phones from the provisioning server:
1. Create per-phone configuration files by performing the following steps:
a) Obtain a list of phone MAC addresses (the bar code label on the back of the
IP phone or on the outside of the box).
b) Create per-phone <MAC>.cfg files by using the MAC-Oriented CFG file from
the distribution as templates.
