Quick Start

Cetis' 3 .x generation of SIP phones have several
deployment / configuration file download options
available through the network . All of these
methods require the phones to download and
apply a configuration file with all the necessary
parameters in place to navigate their network
and register to a SIP PBX/server . Alternatively
you can program each individual phone by logging
into it and adding the necessary information .
There are several recommended methods for
configuration and deployment:
1 . The simplest is probably to use a single
global (global.cetis.cfg) configuration file for all
the phones, and at installation enter in the correct
"Extension" number to finish the programming
steps . This requires that you use either the same
password as the DN/Extension on the PBX, or
you use a single complex password for every
phone, and that password is baked into the global
file used on every phone programmed in the
PBX . (See Appendix or download Step-by-Step
Deployment with GlobalConfig)
2 . Use individual
configuration files
the available Cetis tools to create uniform
configuration files . As each phone endpoint does
require a unique configuration file to operate
correctly . The configuration file is the sum of all of
the parameters found in the web interface of the
phone and constitutes its complete programming
information . By using the Mass Configuration
utility tools, you can ensure that the substitution
of values is not subject to human error that
may happen when
hundred phones by hand . (See Knowledgebase
for the ConfigurationGenerator) The Cetis
ConfigurationGenerator is a simple spreadsheet
6
(configID.cetis.cfg)
for each phone using
programming several
www.telematrix.net
based program used to generate a batch of
configuration files based off of your 'golden'
configuration file created by programming
a single phone and exporting its working
configuration . Please visit the KnowledgeBase at
https://sipsupport .cetis .com/portal
for 'ConfigurationGenerator' . CetisCreator is
another potential program for building files .
3 . For Cloud-based systems installers, there
is a global file re-direct method of deployment
that employs an intermediate provisioning
server, allowing the installer to simply place a
phone on the network, where the phone will then
download a global .cetis .cfg file during its boot-
up process from a server that someone must
set up in the hotel . That global file will point to a
provisioning server at a different address, from
which the phone can then download one of the
valid configuration file types (ConfigID, Global, or
MACaddress) . The phone will then go to that re-
directed address and download the configuration
file of , for example, (<macaddress>.cetis.cfg)
and apply it . The phone is then configured .
The initial step in creating any template
configuration file (or global) is to program the
phone via its web interface to operate satisfactorily
in your network environment and then export
that config file from within the web interface
(You can export config or export global files from
the Provisioning page) . To start programming
the phone, power the phone with PoE into the
WAN port of the phone . When you first hear the
"doodle-doodle" tone or "Enter configID" you do
not want to download a config file; instead, press
# directly to enter into the default standby status .
After the phone enters that idle state, press **47#
(** I P #) on the keypad to make the phone recite
and/or display its IP address that it received from
your DHCP server . With that IP address, you may
log in and check the existing configuration or
recommended) . Once programmed and tested
