Downloading Configuration Files

When CommPortal phone applications and authentication information are configured already,
users can perform auto provisioning to download all the configuration files from the
CommPortal phone configurator.
Yealink IP phones support MAC authentication method to deploy phones. If the administrator
only manages few IP phones, he can choose this method. The administrator needs to bind
phone MAC address with subscriber
advance. As a result, the phone can complete deployment automatically once it is triggered to
perform the auto provisioning. For more information on MAC authentication, refer to:
www.metaswitch.com
Yealink IP phones also support HTTP digest authentication as defined in RFC 2617 to deploy
phones. If the administrator manages a lot of IP phones, he can choose this method. So that
MAC address binding is unnecessary, the system administrator only needs to provide
authentication user name and password to the users. The phone can complete deployment only
when it is triggered to perform the auto provisioning and users provide the correct
authentication user name and password.
The following takes HTTP digest authentication method as an example to introduce phone
deployment.

Obtaining the Provisioning Server Address

Yealink IP phones support obtaining the provisioning server address in the following ways:
DHCP options 66: when using DHCP option 66 to obtain the provisioning server address,

make sure DHCP server has been configured in advance. For more information on DHCP
options, refer to
E2_T4_Series_CP860_IP_Phones_Administrator_Guide
Redirection & Provisioning Server (RPS): when using RPS to obtain the provisioning

server address, make sure RPS has been configured in advance. For more information on
RPS, contact Yealink field application engineers.
Phone Flash: To obtain the provisioning server address by reading the IP phone flash, you

need to manually enter the provisioning server address. For more information, refer to
Auto Provision Now

Configuring the Update Mode

The update mode is used to set the desired time to trigger the IP phone to perform the auto
provisioning process. Yealink IP phones support many update modes. Here we take the
followings as examples to introduce how to trigger the phone to perform auto provisioning. For
