512 Provisioning the IP Phones
The provisioning server (TFTP) contains the following provisioning files:
•
SYSTEM provisioning file–provides provisioning information to all IP
Phones that support the automatic provisioning feature. (for example:
system.prv)
• ZONE provisioning file– provides provisioning information to IP
Phones that belong to a unique defined zone or group. (for example:
headqrtr.prv)
•
TYPE provisioning file–provides provisioning information to particular
IP Phone types. (for example: 1140E.prv)
• DEVICE provisioning file– provides provisioning information to a
specific single device based on the device MAC address. (for example:
001365FEF4D4.prv)
The IP Phones can receive the Info Block in one or more of the
provisioning files. The provisioning file contains the provisioning Info Block
only. The IP Phone continues to use configuration files (TYPE.cfg) for
obtaining firmware and font file updates.
ATTENTION
You cannot provision IP Phones 2001, 2002, and 2004 with an Info Block using
provision files. You can provision these phones with an Info Block using DHCP
only.
The provisioning file is a text-based file, which contains parameters that
require configuration. See Table 122 "Provisioning info block format" (page
512) for syntax, parameters, and values.
