Yealink CP860 [30/417] Configuring basic network parameters

Administrator’s Guide for CP860 IP conference phones

2. Create new common configuration files by performing the following steps:

a) Create y000000000037.cfg files by using the Common CFG file from the

distribution as templates.

b) Edit the parameters in the file as desired.

3. Copy configuration files to the home directory of the provisioning server.

4. Reboot IP phones to trigger the auto provisioning process.

IP phones discover the provisioning server address, and then download the

configuration files from the provisioning server.

For more information on configuration files, refer to Configuration Files on page 15. For

more information on encrypting configuration files, refer to Encrypting Configuration

Files on page 316.

 Zero Touch: Zero Touch feature guides you to configure network settings and the

provisioning server address via phone user interface after startup.

 PnP: PnP feature allows IP phones to discover the provisioning server address by

broadcasting the PnP SUBSCRIBE message during startup.

 DHCP: DHCP option can be used to provide the address or URL of the provisioning

server to IP phones. When the IP phone requests an IP address using DHCP, the

resulting response may contain option 66 or the custom option (if configured) that

contains the provisioning server address.

 Static: You can configure the static provisioning server address via phone user

interface, via web user interface or using configuration files.

In order to get your IP phones running, you must perform basic network setup, such as IP

address and subnet mask configuration. This section describes how to configure basic

network parameters for IP phones.

Note

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a network protocol used to dynamically

allocate network parameters to network hosts. The automatic allocation of network

parameters to hosts eases the administrative burden of maintaining an IP network. IP

This section mainly introduces IPv4 network parameters. IP phones also support IPv6. For

more information on IPv6, refer to IPv6 Support on page 283.
