Yealink supplies configuration files for each phone model, which is delivered with the Skype for
Business phone firmware. The configuration files, supplied with each firmware release, must be
used with that release. Otherwise, configurations may not take effect, and the Skype for Business
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 Skype for Business phones from the provisioning server:
Create per-phone configuration files by performing the following steps:
1.
Obtain a list of phone MAC addresses (the bar code label on the back of the Skype for
a)
Business phone or on the outside of the box).
Create per-phone <MAC>.cfg files by using the MAC-Oriented CFG file from the
b)
distribution as templates.
Edit the parameters in the file as desired.
c)
Create new common configuration files by performing the following steps:
2.
Create <y0000000000xx>.cfg files by using the Common CFG file from the distribution
a)
as templates.
Edit the parameters in the file as desired.
b)
Copy configuration files to the home directory of the provisioning server.
3.
Reboot Skype for Business phones to trigger the auto provisioning process.
4.
Skype for Business phones discover the provisioning server address, and then download the
configuration files from the provisioning server.
For more information on configuration files, refer to
protecting against unauthorized access, you can encrypt configuration files. For more
information on encrypting configuration files, refer to

During the auto provisioning process, the Skype for Business phone supports the following
methods to discover the provisioning server address:
DHCP: DHCP option can be used to provide the address or URL of the provisioning server

to Skype for Business phones. When the Skype for Business phone requests an IP address
using the DHCP protocol, the resulting response may contain option 66 or the custom
option (if configured) that contains the provisioning server address.
Static: You can manually configure the server address via phone user interface or web user

interface.
