Auto Provision IP Phones Remotely (PnP Method)

This topic takes Yealink SIP-T53W (firmware: 96.86.0.81) as an example to describe how to auto provision IP phones in a remote network via Yeastar Onsite Proxy and the PnP method.

Note: This topic describes how to provision an IP phone and assign a user's extension to the phone. If you want to set up a hot desking phone via auto provisioning, see Set up a Hot Desking Phone.

Requirement

The firmware version of Yeastar P-Series Software Edition is 83.22.0.134 or later.

Scenario

IP phone is deployed in a different network from Yeastar P-Series Software Edition, and the subnet where the IP phone is located has an Onsite Proxy deployed.

Prerequisites

  • You have deployed an Onsite Proxy in the SAME subnet as the remote IP phones, and connected the Onsite Proxy to the PBX. For more information, see Onsite Proxy Overview.
  • IP Phone MUST support PnP provisioning. For more information, see Auto Provisioning - Supported Devices.
  • Make sure that you have downloaded the template for the desired phone model on the PBX (Path: Auto Provisioning > Resource Repository > Default Templates).

Procedure

  1. RESET the IP phone if it is previously used.
  2. Log in to PBX web portal, go to Auto Provisioning > Phones.

    The phone list displays all IP phones discovered via Onsite Proxy with their related information including MAC, IP address, vendor and model.

    Note: Restart the phones if they are not discovered and displayed on the phone provisioning list.

  3. Click beside the desired phone.
  4. In the Options section, select a desired template from the Template drop-down list.
    Note: The template provides configurations except extension assignment. 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.

  5. In the Assign Extension section, assign an extension for the phone.
    Tip: If your desired extension is not listed in the drop-down list, you can check if the extension has been associated with other IP phone or gateway.
  6. Click Save.
  7. Restart the phone.

Result

  • The configurations will be automatically applied to the phone.

  • The extension is successfully registered on the IP phone via the Onsite Proxy, and the registration status of the IP phone is displayed on Auto Provisioning > Phones.

    • : The assigned extension is registered on the phone.
    • : The assigned extension is unregistered on the phone.
