Zero Configuration

The device's Zero Configuration feature enables automatic, remote configuration of newly
deployed, non-configured devices, using AudioCodes HTTPS Redirect server. This feature
offers an almost plug-and-play experience for quick-and-easy initial deployment of multiple
devices at the end-customer's premises.
Once the device is powered up and an Internet connection is established, the device
activates the Zero Configuration mechanism. The device then connects to the HTTPS
Redirect server, which in turn provides the device with the URL of the provisioning server.
The device connects to this provisioning server from where it can download software,
configuration and/or auxiliary files. Typically, the provisioning server sends the device only
a configuration file, which contains settings for the Automatic Update feature only. Once
applied to the device and a reset occurs, the Automatic Update mechanism begins
(described in 'HTTP/S-Based Provisioning using the Automatic Update Feature' on page
634).
Note: The Zero Configuration feature is available only if the device is installed with 1)
a Software License Key enabling this feature and 2) a special "Zero Conf" TLS
certificate (TLS Context). If your device was originally purchased and shipped without
the Zero Configuration feature and you now wish to have this feature, contact your
AudioCodes sales representative on how to order the feature. The procedure typically
requires you to return your device as a return merchandise authorization (RMA) so
that AudioCodes can install the Software License Key file and Zero Configuration TLS
Certificate on your device.
