3.1 Concept
The Spider, as a default, is shipped set for manual provisioning. Upon request the unit can be shipped
set for automatic provisioning. With automatic provisioning, the registration information (user name,
authentication password, and other required information) is edited into the unit’s configuration file.
During the automatic provisioning the unit will search for its configuration file and upload it
automatically.
The Spider’s automatic provisioning supports two provisioning methods: Static and Dynamic.

of the file is defined using the GUI in the ‘Configuration URL’ parameter of the Management/Automatic
Update menu.
With dynamic provisioning, the Spider use DHCP options to get the configuration file name. In this case,
the configuration file name should be <Spider’s MAC Address>.cfg and it should be defined on the DHCP
server. Upon the initial power up, the unit will obtain an IP address then search for a file with a name
that carries its MAC address and has an extension .cfg. This file should contain the registration
information; it will be uploaded to the unit, it will register and be ready to function as a telephone.

configuration can be saved to a configuration file via Management/Manual Update menu of the GUI.
Using the GUI to define the parameters and saving them to a file is an efficient way to prepare a
configuration file without knowing all the syntax rules. Alternatively, a default file with the Spider’s
