Provisioning SoundStation IP 7000 Phones Using C-Link
Normally the SoundStation IP 7000 conference phone is provisioned over the
Ethernet by the provisioning server. However, when two SoundStation IP
7000 phones are daisy-chained together, the one that is not directly connected
to the Ethernet can still be provisioned (known as the secondary).
Interconnect Cable
The provisioning over C-Link feature is automatically enabled when a
SoundStation IP 7000 phone is not connected to the Ethernet. Both
SoundStation IP 7000 phones must be running the same version of the SIP
application.
The steps for provisioning the secondary SoundStation IP 7000 phone are the
same as for the primary SoundStation IP 7000 phone. You can reboot the
primary without rebooting the secondary. However, the primary and
secondary should be rebooted together for the primary/secondary
relationship to be recognized. If you power up both SoundStation IP 7000
phones, the primary will power up first.
Currently, provisioning over C-Link is supported for the following
configurations of SoundStation IP 7000 conference phones:
• Two SoundStation IP 7000 conference phone daisy-chained together
• Two SoundStation IP 7000 conference phone daisy-chained together with
one external microphone, specifically designed for the SoundStation IP
7000 conference phone
The provisioning server (or proxy) for the secondary is determined by the
following criteria:
• The primary phone must be powered up using Multi-Interface Module.
PoE will not provide enough power for both phones.
• If the secondary is configured for DHCP, use the primary's provisioning
server if the primary is configured for DHCP.
