The Provisioning settings
Provisioning Connectivity
This setting controls how the device discovers whether it should request an internal or external
configuration from the provisioning server.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <Internal/External/Auto>
Internal: Request internal configuration.
External: Request external configuration.
Auto: Automatically discover using NAPTR queries whether internal or external configurations
should be requested. If the NAPTR responses have the "e" flag, external configurations will
be requested. Otherwise internal configurations will be requested.
Example: Provisioning Connectivity: Auto
Provisioning Mode
It is possible to configure the codec (video system) using a provisioning system / an external
manager. This allows video conferencing network administrators to manage many video systems
simultaneously.
With this setting you choose which type of provisioning system to use. Provisioning can also be
switched off. Contact your provisioning system provider/representative for more information.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <Off/TMS/VCS/CallWay/CUCM/Auto>
Off: The video system will not be configured by a provisioning system.
TMS: The video system will be configured using TMS (Cisco TelePresence Management
System).
VCS: The video system will be configured using VCS (Cisco TelePresence Video
Communication Server).
Callway: The video system will be configured using Callway (subscription service).
CUCM: The video system will be configured using CUCM (Cisco Unified Communications
Manager).
Auto: The provisioning server will automatically be selected by the video system.
Example: Provisioning Mode: TMS
Provisioning LoginName
This is the user name part of the credentials used to authenticate the video system with the
provisioning server. This setting must be used when required by the provisioning server. If
Provisioning Mode is Callway, enter the video number.
Requires user role: ADMIN

Provisioning ExternalManager Address
Enter the IP Address or DNS name of the external manager / provisioning system.
If an External Manager Address (and Path) is configured, the system will send a message to this
address when starting up. When receiving this message the external manager / provisioning
system can return configurations/commands to the unit as a result.
When using CUCM or TMS provisioning, the DHCP server can be set up to provide the external
manager address automatically (DHCP Option 242 for TMS, and DHCP Option 150 for CUCM).
An address set in the Provisioning ExternalManager Address setting will override the address
provided by DHCP.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <S: 0, 64>
Format: A valid IP address format or DNS name; a compact string with a maximum of 64
characters.
