Deployment
Avaya J100 IP Phones with Device Enrolment Service (DES)
To ease deployment and to be able to plug in the phone right out of the box and have the phone
automatically configure and login it is recommended to use the Device Enrolment Service (DES).
DES allows the phone to be automatically pointed to the appropriate Provisioning Server (either
custom provisioning server (below) or Asterisk server. To use this service, you must have an
account on DES. Please see "Installing and Administering Avaya J100 series IP Phone in third-
party call control setup" for more information on the DES. Alternatively, the phone can be
pointed to the Provisioning Server via DHCP.
Avaya J100 IP Phones with a custom Provisioning Server
You can configure a custom Provisioning Server and use it to provide the configuration files to
the phones. The provisioning server hosts the J100Supgrade.txt file, the
J100settings.txt file as well as other configuration files (e.g. language, images,
certificates) needed to get the phone configured and connected to the network.
Avaya J100 IP Phones with Asterisk server
With Asterisk server, you can automatically create the appropriate device (J100settings.txt) and
user (<MACaddress>.txtspecific configuration files from the management system on the Asterisk
Provisioning Server. In this configuration, the phone does not require a custom Provisioning
Server and connects to the Asterisk Provisioning Server instead. For more information
specifically related to the Asterisk Provisioning service please see the Asterisk support portal
