Configure Provisioning Authority - Cisco IP Phone 6851 Administration Manual

Configure Provisioning Authority

You can set up provisioning authority so that users can access their personalized phone settings from other
phones. For example, people who work different shifts or who work at different desks during the week can
share an extension, yet have their own personalized settings.
The Sign in softkey appears on the phone when you enable provisioning authority on the phone. Users enter
their usernames and passwords to access their personal phone settings. Users can also ignore the sign-in and
use the phone as a guest. After users sign in, they have access to their personal directory numbers on the
phone. When the user signs out, the phone reverts to a basic profile with limited features.
Procedure
Step 1
On the Configuration Utility page, select Admin Login > advanced > Voice > Provisioning.
Step 2 In the Configuration Profile section, set the Profile Rule field to the phone configuration file's URL.
Example:
http://192.0.2.1:80/dms/CP-8851-3PCC/8851System.xml
Step 3 Select Admin Login > advanced > Voice > Phone.
Step 4 Fill in the EM Enable and EM User Domain fields in the Extension Mobility section, based on the
information provided in the phone configuration file.
Step 5 In the Extension Mobility section, set the amount of time (in minutes) that the phone can be inactive before
it automatically signs out from the provisioning authority in Inactivity timer(m).
Step 6
Set the amount of time (in seconds) that the user has to cancel the sign-out in Countdown Timer(s).
Step 7 Choose input type of the password from the Preferred Password Input Mode field.
For information on Extension Mobility fields, see
Your user can also change the password input type from the phone.
Step 8 (Optional) If the Programmable Softkey Enable field in the Programmable Softkeys section is set to Yes,
add signin to Idle Key List.
Example:
newcall|1;signin|2
Step 9 Click Submit All Changes.
