Provisioning

Provisioning
Phones can be provisioned to download configuration profiles or updated firmware from a remote server when
they are connected to a network, when they are powered up, and at set intervals. Provisioning is typically part
of high-volume, Voice-over-IP (VoIP) deployments and is limited to service providers. Configuration profiles
or updated firmware are transferred to the device through use of TFTP, HTTP, or HTTPS.
The Cisco IP Phone 7800 Series and Cisco IP Phone 8800 Series Multiplatform Phones Provisioning Guide
describes provisioning in detail.
