Yealink SIP-T48G [11/384] Obtaining phone information

Getting Started

Before beginning provisioning, you also need the IP phone information. For example,

MAC address and the SIP account information of the IP phone.

MAC Address: The unique 12-digit serial number of the IP phone. You can obtain it from

the bar code on the back of the IP phone.

SIP Account Information: This may include SIP credentials such as user name, password

and IP address of the SIP server. Ask your system administrator for SIP account

information.

Auto provisioning enables Yealink IP phones to update themselves automatically via

downloading Common CFG and MAC-Oriented CFG files. Before beginning

provisioning, you may need to edit and customize your configuration files. Open each

configuration file with a text editor such as UltraEdit. For more information on

configuration parameters in configuration files, refer to Description of Configuration

Parameters in CFG Files on page 91

Common CFG file contains configuration parameters which apply to phones with the

same model, such as language and volume.

The following figure shows a portion of the common CFG file:
