Category:Auto Provisioning

Author: Alexander Feldt

Auto Provisioning ("Mass deployment") is a proprietorily implemented feature in the standard firmware of all snom 3x0 VoIP phones and snom m3
Auto Provisioning allows remote administration (configuration and maintenance) of unlimited number of distinct snom phone types.
Auto Provisioning is particularly useful for out-of-the-box scenarios in larger phone installations.
Auto Provisioning can be used to provide general and specific configuration parameters ("Settings") to the phones and to manage firmware actualization.

Requirements

Auto Provisioning requires a central setting (or provisioning) server.
Selected Configuration parameters can be stored in configuration files (phone type/MAC address based) or can be created on request by means of script files (MAC address based). The location of these files is defined in the setting (provisioning) URL.
Please check the boot-up process in order to select the appropriate auto provisioning method.

Depending on the installation environment the following scenarios can be applied to provide the setting (provisioning) URL to the phones:


DHCP Option 66/67 The DHCP Server in the LAN may send the provisioning URL via Option 66/67	Plug & Play Any SIP Server in the LAN may send the provisioning URL by replying to SIP SUBSCRIBE Broadcast messages	Automatic Redirection Service: snom's public provisioning server will be contacted automatically and may redirect MAC address based provisioning requests to any other server.	TR-69 Provisioning: Either scenario 1/2/3 can be used to enable the phone for TR-69 Provisioning
