 |
|
Good day
I am looking for a phone provisioning template for Snom phones, Yealinks and Polycoms. I am always doing deployments of many phones and usually configure each phone one by one for each installation. Any help will be highly appreciated
Regards

There’s some excellent documentation about provisioning on the Snom Wiki:
http://wiki.snom.com/Category:Auto_Provisioning:Configuration_Files
You can set the phones (via DHCP options) a firmware url on a web server under your control, grab their MAC addresses, then deliver them custom config settings as required.
Easiest way to start is to copy the config file (via the web interface) from a phone with factory default settings, then just change the settings you need to change, and write something in your scripting language of choice (PHP, Perl, Python, etc.) to just send those settings to the phone dependent on MAC address. Don’t send *every* available config setting to the phone - only the changes from default you need to make.
I suspect the same can be done with Yealink and Polycom phones - I’ve not used those so can’t really comment. I have a similar system which seems to work for Sipura/Linksys/Cisco phones, though most of my new deployments are exclusively Snom.
Kind regards,
Chris

I use the Polycom phones and there are any number of ways you can automate deployments of them. The templates you want to start with can be found on the Polycom website here: http://support.polycom.com/PolycomService/support/us/support/voice/index.html
When you download the firmware (UC software release), you get the templates you want included in the download. You can use FTP, TFTP, and HTTP that I know of to provision the phones. I use HTTP and have some custom php scripts that I wrote that create my own templates on the fly for a phone based on its mac address. You can use a combination of static templates for things that are system wide and dynamic templates for the things that are specific to each phone. You can also just create a static template for each phone. It really depends on how in depth you want to go. It does make provisioning much easier though. |
