Getting Started

This section shows you how to get ready for the provisioning. The provisioning process

discussed in this guide uses TFTP and a personal computer (PC) as the provisioning

server.

To begin the provisioning process, the following are required:

 Obtaining Configuration Information

 Managing Configuration Files

Before you begin provisioning, you need to obtain the configuration files. There are 2

configuration files both of which are CFG formatted that the phone will try to download

from the server during provisioning. We call them Common CFG file and MAC-Oriented

CFG file.

The MAC-Oriented CFG file is only effectual for the specific phone. It uses the 12-digit

MAC address of the phone as the file name. For example, if the MAC address of the

phone is 0015651130F9, then the MAC-Oriented CFG file name must be

0015651130F9.cfg. However, the Common CFG file is effectual for all the phones with the

same model. It uses a fixed name “y0000000000XX.cfg” as the file name, where "XX"

equals to the hardware version of the phone model, except 0 for T28 which is special.

The names of the Common CFG file for each phone model are:

Phone Model
