Provisioning Avaya Room System XT Series endpoints
automatically
About this task
You can provision an Avaya Room System XT Series endpoint remotely, so that the customer can
receive the endpoint and set it up without any technical knowledge or intervention from the
Support team. During auto-provisioning, a service code is generated in Avaya Meetings
Management to identify the XT Series as a managed endpoint. When this service code is inserted
into the XT Series endpoint, the endpoint uses this service code to connect to a cloud service, to
establish communication with the relevant Avaya Meetings Management server.
This feature is supported for an endpoint installed in any location, provided you:
• Have a compatible Avaya Meetings Management available for association with the endpoint.
• Enable the auto-provisioning endpoint feature on Avaya Meetings Management.
• Connect the endpoint to the Internet.
• Enable your DHCP server to assign a valid DNS address to the endpoint.
This method of endpoint management is called cloud mode. In cloud mode, the endpoint connects
using a secure web socket to Avaya Meetings Management for services such as configuration,
LDAP, upgrades, meeting scheduling, and meeting properties management.
The following types of auto-provisioning are enabled:
• Pre-provisioning: The endpoint receives a full service code, consisting of a 5-digit server
service code identifying the Avaya Meetings Management server, and a 7-digit endpoint
service code identifying the provisioned endpoint. During pre-provisioning, the endpoint
profile is fully prepared before it is installed at the customer site.
• Post-provisioning: The endpoint receives a partial service code, consisting only of the 5-
digit server service code identifying the Avaya Meetings Management server, while the 7-digit
endpoint service code is either empty or consists only of zeros. During post-provisioning, the
endpoint is added to the list of manageable endpoints, but is prepared (provisioned) at a later
time.
Note:
The XT Series Auto-Provisioning Service may be interrupted for maintenance, repairs,
upgrades, or equipment or network failures. Avaya may discontinue certain features and the
