1.1.4 Overview of Programming

You can specify various settings beforehand by creating configuration files. This is called "pre-provisioning".
Once you have created the configuration files, which contain the pre-configured settings, the unit can then
download the files from a server on the Internet and configure its own settings. This is called "provisioning".
In addition, you can also configure the settings manually. To configure them manually, use the Web user
interface on a PC that is connected to the same network as the unit (Web user interface programming), or
perform setting operations on the unit (phone user interface programming).

1.1.5 Pre-provisioning

1.1.5.1 What is Pre-provisioning?

To perform pre-provisioning, you must set the IP address of a TFTP server to the DHCP server option 66 so
that the unit can acquire the TFTP server address. When the unit starts up and no configuration has been
applied, it will automatically acquire the address of the TFTP server and download the configuration file.
For details about the configuration file, see 1.1.6.3 Configuration File.
