2.1.1 What is Pre-provisioning?
To perform pre-provisioning, you must set the IP address of a TFTP server to the DHCP server option 66 so
that the unit can acquire the TFTP server address. When the unit starts up and no configuration has been
applied, it will automatically acquire the address of the TFTP server and download the configuration file.
For details about the configuration file, see 2.2.3 Configuration File.
For details about the settings that can be configured with the configuration files and how to specify the settings,
see Section 5 Configuration File Programming.

Pre-provisioning can aid the installation process by allowing phone system dealers to configure beforehand
the minimum settings required to operate the unit.
For example, phone system dealers can store on the TFTP server a configuration file that contains only the
URL of a server where another configuration file is stored. This second configuration file contains settings
configured specifically for the usage environment of the user. The user will be able to start using the unit by
just connecting it to the network.
Pre-provisioning is performed only once after the unit has been shipped. Once any configuration (such as
pre-provisioning, provisioning, or Web user interface programming) has been applied, pre-provisioning will not
be performed again.
Note that the settings configured by pre-provisioning cannot be restored once it has been performed. If you
want to restore them, consult your phone system dealer.
Although pre-provisioning is often used to specify the location of the configuration files for provisioning, you
can configure any of the settings through pre-provisioning. The unit can be made fully operational by configuring
settings through pre-provisioning.
