Yealink CP860 [28/417] Provisioning server

Administrator’s Guide for CP860 IP conference phones

configuration files (y000000000037.cfg and <MAC>.cfg). You can use a text-based

editing application to edit configuration files, and then store configuration files to a

provisioning server. For more information on the provisioning server, refer to Provisioning

Server on page 16.

IP phones can obtain the provisioning server address during startup. Then IP phones

download configuration files from the provisioning server, resolve and update the

configurations written in configuration files. This entire process is called auto

provisioning. For more information on auto provisioning, refer to

When modifying parameters, learn the following:

 Parameters in configuration files override those stored in IP phones’ flash memory.

 The .cfg extension of the configuration files must be in lowercase.

 Each line in a configuration file must use the following format and adhere to the

following rules:

variable-name = value

- Associate only one value with one variable.

- Separate variable name and value with equal sign.

- Set only one variable per line.

- Put the variable and value on the same line, and do not break the line.

- Comment the variable on a separated line. Use the pound (#) delimiter to

distinguish the comments.

IP phones perform the auto provisioning function of downloading configuration files,

downloading resource files and upgrading firmware. The transfer protocol is used to

download files from the provisioning server. IP phones support several transport

protocols for provisioning, including FTP, TFTP, HTTP, and HTTPS protocols, and are

configured to use the TFTP protocol by default. The provisioning server address can be

IP address, domain name or URL. If a user name and password are specified as part of

the provisioning server address, for example, http://user:pwd@/server/dir, they will be

used only if the server supports them.

Note

A URL should contain forward slashes instead of back slashes and should not contain

spaces. Escape characters are not supported.

If a user name and password are not specified as part of the provisioning server

address, the User Name and Password of the provisioning server configured on the IP

phone will be used.

There are two types of FTP methods—active and passive. IP phones are not compatible

with active FTP.
