Provisioning Parameters

Provisioning Parameters

This section describes the provisioning parameters broadly organized according to function:
These provisioning parameter types exist:
• General Purpose
• Enables
• Triggers
• Configurable Schedules
• Profile Rules
• Upgrade Rule

General Purpose Parameters

The general-purpose parameters GPP_* (Admin Login > advanced > Voice > Provisioning) are used as
free string registers when configuring the phone to interact with a particular provisioning server solution. The
GPP_* parameters are empty by default. They can be configured to contain diverse values, including the
following:
• Encryption keys
• URLs
• Multistage provisioning status information
• Post request templates
• Parameter name alias maps
• Partial string values, eventually combined into complete parameter values.
The GPP_* parameters are available for macro expansion within other provisioning parameters. For this
purpose, single-letter uppercase macro names (A through P) suffice to identify the contents of GPP_A through
GPP_P. Also, the two-letter uppercase macro names SA through SD identify GPP_SA through GPP_SD as
a special case when used as arguments of the following URL options:
key, uid, and pwd
These parameters can be used as variables in provisioning and upgrade rules. They are referenced by prefixing
the variable name with a '$' character, such as $GPP_A.

Using General Purpose Parameters

For example, if GPP_A contains the string ABC, and GPP_B contains 123, the expression $A$B macro
expands into ABC123.
