provisioning the system using a provisioning server for the first time, follow the provisioning process

one of the following special scenarios, refer to the relevant section:
The CX5500 system can boot up without any configuration files; however, you must configure certain
parameters in the configuration files - for example, a registration address, label, and SIP server address –
to use the system.
You can create as many configuration files as you want and your configuration files can contain any
combination of parameters. You can put all parameters into one file or, for example, you can put SIP
server parameters in one file and phone features parameters in another file. For detailed information on
how to use the configuration files, see the section
For large-scale deployments, the centralized provisioning method using configuration files is strongly
recommended. For smaller scale deployments, the Web Configuration Utility or local interface can be
used, but administrators need to be aware that settings made using these methods can override settings
made using configuration files.
