Pre-provisioning can aid the installation process by allowing phone system dealers to configure beforehand
the minimum settings required to operate the unit.
For example, phone system dealers can store on the TFTP server a configuration file that contains only the
URL of a server where another configuration file is stored. This second configuration file contains settings
configured specifically for the usage environment of the user. The user will be able to start using the unit by
just connecting it to the network.
Pre-provisioning is performed only once after the unit has been shipped. Once any configuration (such as
pre-provisioning, provisioning, or Web user interface programming) has been applied, pre-provisioning will not
be performed again.
Note that the settings configured by pre-provisioning cannot be restored once it has been performed. If you
want to restore them, consult your phone system dealer.
Although pre-provisioning is often used to specify the location of the configuration files for provisioning, you
can configure any of the settings through pre-provisioning. The unit can be made fully operational by configuring
settings through pre-provisioning.

1.1.5.2 Pre-provisioning when Setting Static IP Addresses

To perform pre-provisioning, the unit needs to acquire the TFTP server address from option 66 on a DHCP
server. Therefore, pre-provisioning cannot be performed if you use static IP addressing on your network. If you
use static IP addressing and want to perform pre-provisioning, construct a small, separate network and connect
a DHCP and TFTP server to that network.
In addition, if option 66 of the DHCP server cannot be set, or if you are unauthorized to change this setting,
perform pre-provisioning on the separate network, and then connect the unit to the actual network.
