  • Use provisioning: Enable this option if you want to provision a new SIP device for the current Phone terminal extension. This will unlock the Device Information and the Device Settings fieldsets, allowing you to configure the equipment. The extension will get all its setup parameters from the provisioning server; otherwise, the extension user will have to manually set the device parameters.
Note

As a system administrator, you have access to this option regardless of the Allow to provision devices permission level set for the extension.

OptionDetails

Administrator username

Fill in a username for logging in to the device's browser based configuration interface.
Not all the devices support configuration via a web browser.
For additional information, check the documentation of the equipment you want to provision.

Password generation

Choose the method for providing the password:

  • None: No password will be required to connect to the device's browser-based configuration interface.
  • Auto generated: VoipNow will randomly generate a password for you.
  • Manual: If you like, you can manually set and confirm the Administrator password.
Phone update interval

Optionally, you can fill in the number of minutes the device waits before checking for updates on the provisioning server.
Between 1 and 99,999 minutes/seconds, depending on the device's settings. Default: 10 minutes.

Update protocolThe list is automatically populated with the protocols used by the selected device to access the configuration file on the provisioning server (e.g. TFTP, HTTP).

Provisioning template

The most important step when adding a device is to select the appropriate Provisioning template.
The drop-down list displays only those templates with configuration files defined for the selected equipment, plus the Server default template that includes the standard configuration files of all the devices supported by VoipNow.
These configuration files contain the settings (default or custom) required by the device to become fully functional in the VoipNow system.
It is advisable to double-check the template you are going to use and search for any possible error that could cause the device to malfunction.
As a system administrator, you can only choose from your own templates. The provisioning templates defined by other users are not available.

Regenerate provisioning filesSelect if you want the provisioning files available for the current extension to be regenerated with the new settings.
Enable parking watch with BLF on <X> lines

This option allows to configure lights indicators on the terminals that support the functionality in order to allow to easily place on park calls and easily retrieve calls from parking. All users inside an organization that have this kind of equipment will be able to do it. 

SIP preferences

The account owners that log in to the VoipNow interface using a service provider, organization or user account have complete access to the Provisioning and SIP Preference's field sets only if the Phone extension SIP management permission is enabled.

...

Allow virtualization on this extension: If enabled, any other member of the organization can use the phone device where the extension is provisioned. By default, it is unchecked.
