Through this initial resync operation, the IP Telephony device is configured in a
single step, and is automatically directed to resync thereafter to a permanent URL
on the server. For example:
https://prov.supervoip.com/cisco
For both initial and permanent access, the provisioning server relies on the client
certificate for authentication and supplies configuration parameter values based
on the associated service account.

Automatic In-House Preprovisioning

Using the administration web server and issuing a resync URL is convenient for a
customer in the retail deployment model, but it is not as convenient for
preprovisioning a large number of units. To provision a large number of units in-
house, the service provider can use automatic in-house preprovisioning.
With the factory default configuration, an IP Telephony device automatically tries
to resync to a specific file to a TFTP server with the IP address offered as one of
the DHCP-provided parameters. A service provider can connect each new IP
Telephony device to a LAN environment that is configured for preprovisioning. Any
new IP Telephony device connected to this LAN automatically resyncs to the local
TFTP server, initializing its internal state in preparation for deployment. This
preprovisioning step includes configuring the URL of the provisioning server.
When a new customer signs up for service, the preprovisioned device barcode
can be scanned to record its MAC address or serial number before being shipped
to the customer. Upon receiving the unit, the customer connects the unit to the
broadband link. On power-up the IP Telephony device contacts the server to for its
resync update.
