3.4 EDS (Easy Deployment Server)
EDS (Easy Deployment Server) is a server which provides the information for ALE SIP devices to connect to
the provisioning server. It is a redirect provisioning server and has a web-based interface for the user to
manage such information. Please find the EDS user manual by accessing
information.
3.5 Provisioning Methods
The ALE Myriad Series phones provide two ways to provision your phones:
•
Manual Provisioning: provisioning via the local phone user interface or web user interface.
•
Central Provisioning: provisioning through configuration files stored in a central provisioning server.
Key factor for choosing which method is used depends on how many phones need to be deployed and what
features and settings need to be configured. Manual provisioning on the web or phone user interface does
not contain all the phone settings available for the centralized method. You can use the web user interface
method in conjunction with a central provisioning method and phone user interface method. We recommend
using centralized provisioning as your primary provisioning method when provisioning multiple phones.
3.6 Auto Provisioning Process
3.6.1 Auto Provisioning Process
The auto provisioning process will be executed after finishing the initialization. After the phone boots up, it will
request configuration files through the acquired URL in sequence. The sequence of auto provisioning
execution is DHCP → PNP → Local → EDS → RDDS. At any of the five steps, once the phone can download
the configuration files successfully, the phone will exit auto provisioning process.
Note: If the phone downloads a configuration file in wrong format during the auto provisioning process, parsing
fails, and the phone will continue auto provisioning process.
