Why Use a Provisioning Server?


A provisioning server allows for flexibility in installing, upgrading, maintaining, and
configuring the IP3072 phones. The provisioning server can be set up on the local LAN or
anywhere on the Internet. The IP3072 phone is designed such that if it can not locate a
provisioning server when it boots up, it will operate with internally saved parameters. This
is useful when the provisioning server is not available.


Preparation for Auto-Provisioning Service


To use Auto-Provisioning Service, you need to make sure provisioning files, provisioning
server and IP3072 Auto-Provisioning Service setting are configured ready. See below
sections to know how to prepare each of them.

Provisioning Files

IP3072 Auto-Provisioning function supports configuration file update and firmware upgrade.
The provisioning configuration files are in XML format.

Only those settings to be provisioned are required to be included in the XML file. All
settings in the XML file will be applied and treated as changes even the values are the
same as the current settings on the phone.

Auto-Provisioning Service Settings

The Auto-Provisioning Service function uses FTP/ TFTP/ HTTP as transport protocol. As
to HTTP, it will support Basic and Digest authentication.

There are nine options for auto-provisioning setting through the Web Configuration
Interface.
