Getting Started; Obtaining The Boot File; Obtaining Configuration Files - Yealink SIP-T2 Series Auto Provisioning Manual

Getting Started

This section provides instructions on how to get ready for auto provisioning. To begin the auto
provisioning process, the following steps are required:

Obtaining the Boot File



Obtaining Configuration Files


Obtaining Phone Information

Obtaining the Boot File
You can use a boot file to customize the download sequence of configuration files. The
configuration files are flexible: you can rearrange the configuration parameters within the
Yealink-supplied template configuration files or create your own configuration files from
configuration parameters you want. You can create and name as many configuration files as you
want and your own configuration files can contain any combination of configuration parameters.
It is efficiently for you to provision your IP phones in different deployment scenarios, especially
when you want to apply a set of features or settings to a group of phones.
Before beginning provisioning, you need to obtain the Yealink-supplied template boot file
named as "y000000000000.boot". The IP phone tries to download the boot file first, and then
download the configuration files referenced in the boot file in sequence during auto
provisioning.
Yealink supports the following two types of boot files:
MAC-Oriented boot file (e.g., 00156574b150.boot)

Common boot file (y000000000000.boot)

You can ask the distributor or Yealink FAE for the template boot file.
Obtaining Configuration Files
Before beginning provisioning, you also need to obtain template configuration files. There are
two configuration files both of which are CFG-formatted. We call these two files Common CFG
file and MAC-Oriented CFG file. You can also create and name as many configuration files as you
want (e.g., account.cfg, sip.cfg, features.cfg) by using the template configuration files. The
custom configuration files can contain the configuration parameters of the same feature
modules for all phones.
If boot file is found on the provisioning server, the IP phones download the boot file first, and
then download the configuration files referenced in the boot file in sequence during auto
provisioning. You can customize the download sequence of configuration files in the boot file as
