=Requirements=
 * The phone/ata must support automatic provisioning.
 * If your DHCP server supports supplying options 66 or 43 to DHCP clients, then you can start provisioning more easily.
 * Your phone will require either a TFTP server or an FTP server or an HTTP or HTTPS server to provide the provisioning files. If you are using http, FusionPBX is set up to handle that automatically.

=Benefits of Provisioning=
 * It allows you to automatically configure phone functionality and set up the phone as a specific extension on your FusionPBX phone system.
 * It is useful when you have a large number of phones to configure with common settings and the only difference between them being the mac address and the extension details (rather than making the edits manually via the phones' own web administration pages)
 * If the phones are "out in the field" you can still make changes to the configuration files.

=Benefits of Provisioning with FusionPBX=
 * At any time in the future, you can edit the configuration template on the FusionPBX server in order to make a change to all the phones next time they provision/reboot, rather than having to manually change each one.
 * From the extensions page, you can select which device, and which line on that device, that phone should register to.
 * You can create a provisioning password. In the Variable page, add the variable "password" in a new category called "Provision"

=Provisioning Step By Step= There are two ways to start - Option 66 or manually adding the provisioning URL.

Provisioning, Option 66 (untested)
1. Setup a DHCP server where you can set options 66 and 43 to point to an HTTP or TFTP server (most phones capable of auto-provisioning support TFTP, but some also support HTTP) - dnsmasq is an example of a DHCP server that can do this

2. Point the URL in option 66 and 43 to a directory on your FusionPBX server. An example using dnsmasq syntax and assuming Yealink phone would be: log-dhcp dhcp-range=192.168.1.100,192.168.1.149,12h dhcp-host=00:15:65:aa:bb:cc,net:YEA,192.168.1.101,yealink_ext101 dhcp-option=YEA,66,"http://fusionpbx/provisioning/yealink" Note that normally option 66 will only be a hostname or IP address, but it is possible that some phones might be smart enough to have a URL there and work out the server type from it.

Continue with Phones

Add Phone URL to Provision
If your phone can use http for provisioning, e.g. Yealink and all Linksys, then you can manually add the provision URL to the device. This way, you only have to make one change to your phones manually - to make it look for the provisioning server. (Note for Yealink: you have to enable "check new config")

For example, in the Linksys, to provision via the web ONCE simply load: (To find out the IP of the device, pick up a phone and press ****. Then, 1 1 0 #. If the page is unreachable, the web config may be disabled. In that same menu, press 7 9 3 2 # followed by 1 # then 1 to save.) You might need to set "Provision Enable=Yes" in the Voice->Provisioning tab before doing the resync. If it doesn't work, check this.

Doing this will add the MAC address of the phone into FusionPBX's database.

Edit Hardware Phone in FusionPBX
'''NOTE: THIS IS NOT IN THE DEFAULT APP->MENU. YOU MIGHT WANT TO ADD IT THERE''' Edit the phone you need to do...
 * https://voip.example.com/app/hardware_phones/v_hardware_phones.php
 * 1) give the phone a label
 * 2) select a template
 * 3) vendor name should hopefully auto-fill
 * 4) set a time zone (eg America/Chicago)
 * 5) save it.

Add phone to extension
Note: You can test the configuration for this by going to: If you don't get an XML file back, try above.
 * http://voip.example.com/app/provision/?mac=PUT:YOUR:MAC:HERE
 * 1) In FusionPBX select Accounts->Extensions
 * 2) Pick an extension you want to assign a phone to and edit it.
 * 3) Under Phone Provisioning's dropdown, select the phone that should be assigned.
 * 4) Select a line number to assign.
 * 5) save the extension.
 * 6) reboot the phone.

Continue with Phones

Provisioning, All
After either Option 66 or manual entry, we continue here:

In FusionPBX you have to first setup a tftp, ftp server (or use html if your phones support it). Go to advanced -> system settings and set the path to that directory so that Fusion knows where to write the config.

1. The phone will then request the relevant files from the server. Yealink will request two - a config file, e.g. Yealink T-20->y000000000007.cfg and a file specific to the mac address of your phone. The linksys boxes only request one file. (but it seems you can set up multiple files to provision) A general config file should be provided on your webserver at the URL you specify, and will set all the standard parameters of your phones. The specific file is provided in the next few steps below by the FusionPBX server and allows the setting of the settings specific to each phone eg. the extension to connect to.

2. FusionPBX requires a rewrite rule in the web server so that http://fusionpbx/provisioning/yealink/001565aabbcc.cfg gets rewritten to the fusionpbx provisioning URL e.g. The rewrite rule should forward the request to http://fusionpbx/app/provision/index.php?mac=001565aabbcc. FusionPBX uses apache as a web server by default in the iso, but you might be using a different web server so you'll need to work this out for the server you are using. There are some Apache rewrite rule examples in the FusionPBX .htaccess file. An example for Nginx is: location / { rewrite "^/provisioning/[a-z]+/([A-Fa-f0-9]{12})(\.(xml|cfg))$" /app/provision/index.php?mac=$1 last; }

3. When the phone requests that URL, FusionPBX will add the MAC address of the phone to the database and it will show up in the phones screen in FusionPBX. For the linksys-2102 and 3102, the user_agent enables FusionPBX to automatically assign a template, which includes setting a permanent provisioning.

If FusionPBX does not automatically assign a template, you will need to edit the new entry (which has the info "auto") and set a template. You will now need to wait for option66 again, or set your device to provision once more.

4. The phone will re-configure itself from that config file and then register with freeswitch.

There are many things that can go wrong in automated provisioning. When you are first setting it up you might want to set your DHCP server to provide you with verbose logging so you can diagnose it. You also might want to set your phone to use verbose logging too.

As an example of what will happen when your phone makes a request to FusionPBX for provisioning you can try this URL (changing fusionpbx to the IP address of your server): http://fusionpbx/app/provision/index.php?mac=00085daabbcc. You can then go to the phones page and you'll see a new phone with this mac address added. Press the X to delete it since it was just an experiment anyway!

Linksys/Cisco SPA3102-specific notes
TODO: This information probably belongs on its own wiki page. Putting it here temporarily under the assumption that it's better to publish it in rough form somewhere rather than not at all. This information may also benefit SPA2102 and PAP2T users.

Using dnsmasq and TFTP option 66 to bootstrap provisioning:
 * 1) /etc/dnsmasq.d/pbx


 * 1) Assumes 00:0e:08:aa:bb:cc is the mac address of the SPA3102 you are provisioning
 * 2) and you want to assign the SPA3102 address 10.1.2.50 and hostname "my3102".

log-dhcp

enable-tftp=eth1 tftp-root=/etc/dnsmasq.d/pbx.tftp
 * 1) "=eth1" below is optional.  Leave it off if you don't mind dnsmasq's
 * 2) mini-TFTP server listening on all interfaces.

dhcp-option=SPA,66,0.0.0.0 dhcp-host=00:0e:08:aa:bb:cc,net:SPA,10.1.2.50,my3102
 * 1) dnsmasq replaces 0.0.0.0 with its IP
 * 1) add additional dhcp-host lines here as needed for other 3102s

 http://pbx.local/app/provision/?mac=$MA 10 10.1.2.1 10.1.2.1 2 

Or, using the SPA3102 web interface without TFTP, visit in your browser, assuming  is the address of the device you want to provision and  is the hostname of your FusionPBX server.

Enhanced Feature Key Setup

In provisioning folder create a custom.cfg file (This file can be called whatever you want it to be. You might want different EFK config files for different users or groups of users, so name them appropriately.) and paste the contents of the XML file below:

This EFK file will: setup an intercom soft button on the phone that will dial *8 and then ask for user input and allow for a 4 digit extension to be entered setup a group page button that will allow for the entry of a page group. You can program this button to automatically dial particular page group by editing efk.efklist.3.action.string="$P3N4$$Tinvite$" and replacing "$P3N4$$Tinvite$" with "*468$P3N4$$Tinvite$" where *468 is some group page extension setup in the dial plan. setup transfer to voicemail button that will automatically throw a caller in a user's voicemail box.
