Provision Unify IP Phone with Yeastar P-Series Cloud Edition

This topic takes OpenScape CP210 as an example to describe how to provision Unify IP phone with Yeastar P-Series Cloud Edition.

Requirements

The firmwares of Unify IP phone and Yeastar PBX meet the following requirements.

Model Phone Requirement PBX Requirement
OpenScape CP200 V2 R4.13.0 or later 84.19.0.23 or later
OpenScape CP210 V2 R0.4.0 SIP 220614 or later 84.19.0.23 or later
OpenScape CP400 V2 R4.13.0 or later 84.19.0.23 or later
OpenScape CP410 V2 R4.13.0 or later 84.19.0.23 or later

Prerequisites

  • Prepare a DHCP server in the subnet where the IP phone is located to provide an IP address for the IP phone.
    Note: Make sure that there is only one DHCP server running in the subnet, or the IP phone would fail to obtain an IP address.
  • RESET the IP phone if it is previously used.
  • Gather information of IP phone, including Vendor, Model, and MAC address.
  • Make sure that you have downloaded the template for the desired phone model (Path: Auto Provisioning > Resource Repository > Default Templates).
  • Set the registration name to the same as the extension number for the extension that will be assigned to the IP phone (Path: Extension and Trunk > Extension > > User > Extension Information).
    Important: Due to the IP phone's limitation, the extension's Registration Name must be the same as the Extension Number; otherwise, the registration will FAIL.

Procedure

Step 1. Add the Unify IP phone on PBX

Add the IP phone on PBX. The PBX will generate a configuration file based on the phone's MAC address.

  1. Log in to PBX web portal, go to Auto Provisioning > Phones.
  2. Click Add > Add.
  3. In the IP Phone section, enter the following phone information.

    • Vendor: Select Unify.
    • Model: Select the phone model. In this example, select CP210.
    • MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of the IP phone.
  4. In the Options section, configure the following settings.

    • Template: Select a desired template from the drop-down list.
      Note: You can select the default template corresponding to the phone model, or customize your own template. For more information, see Create a Custom Auto Provisioning Template.
    • Provisioning Link: A provisioning link is automatically generated and displayed in this field. This provisioning link points to the location where the phone's configuration file is stored.
      Note: Note down the provisioning link, as you will use it later.
  5. In the Assign Extension section, assign an extension to the IP phone.

    Tip: If your desired extension is not listed in the drop-down list, it indicates that the extension has been associated with an IP phone.
  6. Click Save.

    The IP phone is added and displayed in the Auto Provisioning phone list.

Step 2. Configure DHCP option 66 on DHCP server

In this example, a DHCP server is set up in the IP phone’s network to deliver the provisioning link (obtained from the PBX) to the phone.

Note: This method is suitable for bulk provisioning. For a single device, you can manually enter the provision link in the phone's web interface.
  1. On PBX web portal, copy the provisioning link from the phone's detail page.

  2. On the DHCP server, set up option 66 with the provisioning link.

    In this example, the configuration is shown below:

Results

  • After rebooting the IP phone, it gets an IP address from the DHCP server, downloads the configurations from the PBX via the provisioning link, and applies the settings automatically.
  • The extension is successfully registered on the IP phone. You can check the registration status on Auto Provisioning > Phone on the PBX web portal.
