FAQs

Why the devices in the local network are not displayed in the Auto Provisioning list?

The causes and solutions are as follow:

Cause Solution
The device's IP address is not in the same network segment as the PBX. Change the device's IP address to an IP address that is in the same network segment as the PBX.
The device does not support the PnP function. Contact your device vendor to check if the device supports PnP.
The PnP function is not enabled on the device. Enable the PnP feature for the device.
The PBX did not detect the devices in the local network.

The PnP-enabled devices will broadcast a PnP SUBSCRIBE message during startup, and then the PBX can detect the devices by receiving the PnP SUBSCRIBE message. If the devices do not receive PnP SUBSCRIBE message, the PBX cannot detect the devices.

Reboot your devices to allow your devices to send PnP SUBSCRIBE message.
