Setup Devices

From Taridium

Latest revision as of 18:35, 3 February 2014

ipbx supports the following devices for auto-provisioning. Any other type of device needs to be setup manually and possibly requires console modifications. If you have a device type with which you need help, please contact Taridium or your authorized reseller. Check the How To section for examples of manual setups for unsupported phone types.

To access auto-provisioning settings click on Configuration → Advanced Setup → Devices.

Click on the approriate configure button to enable auto-provisioning for your selected brand. This procedure might take a couple of minutes depending on the provisioning method. Depending on the phone type provisioning is done via TFTP, FTP or HTTP(S). Many phones will support multiple protocols.

Alternate Method

On the command line you can run 'ipbx-autoprov' to install auto-provisioning for your specific device.

Please take the appropriate precautions when exposing any of the provisioning services to the internet! An attacker could possibly read a configuration file and start making toll calls through your system.

Aastra

• Supported Aastra phones: SIP Load 67xxi series
• Default Provisioning Method: HTTP (path: /var/www/html/prov as well as /tftpboot)
• Access Type: anonymous

Semi Automated Setup

In case you don't have your network configured for automatic provisioning, or if you want configure your phone at a remote location, you can still use the configuration system by telling the phone where to look for its configuration.

Press the Settings button, sometimes labeled Options or a wrench symbol and scroll Down to 3. Phone Status and select it. You should now see the 1. IP&MAC Addresses option, select it and note the IP address.

1. Enter this IP address into your web browser's address bar. E.g. http://192.168.12.33.
2. Enter the default username admin and password 22222.
3. Click on the Advanced Settings → Configuration Server at the bottom of the menu.
4. Select HTTP as Download Protocol.
5. Enter your ipbx IP address into the HTTP Server field.
6. Enter prov into the HTTP Path field.
7. Click on Save Settings.
8. Click on Operation → Reset.
9. Click on Restart Phone.

The phone will reboot shortly and attempt to retrieve the configuration file from your ipbx system.

Cisco

• Supported Cisco Phones: 79XX Series (SIP only)
• Default Provisioning Method: TFTP (path: /tftpboot)
• Access Type: anonymous

Standard provisioning currently only support non-XML configuration files. This excludes Cisco Unified IP Phone 7965G, 7970G and others. See the Adding Unsupported Phones page for further details.

Linksys SPA (Cisco Small Business) Phones and ATA's

(formerly also known as Sipura)

• Supported Linksys and Linksys by Cisco Phones: SPA series phones and analog telephone adapters, PAP2T-NA etc.
• Default Provisioning Method: HTTP (path: /var/www/html/prov)
• Access Type: anonymous

Cisco/Linksys phones are meant to be provisioned by HTTP, but might initially only pick up the default pre-provisioning file from the TFTP server (default behavior of factory phones). This requires a second reboot.

1. Initial boot: Phone or ATA picks up init.cfg file with instructions to use the HTTP profile
2. Second boot: Phone/ATA picks up it's actual configuration file.

Contents of Pre Provisioning File

 <flat-profile>  
 
   <Profile_Rule ua="na">http://%%eth0%%/prov/spa$MAU.cfg
   </Profile_Rule>
 
 </flat-profile>

Where %%eth0%% is the variable which will automatically be replaced with the IP address of your ipbx system.

You can easily reboot your Linksys ATA or phone by entering the following URL into your webbrowser:

 http://[ip address]/admin/reboot

or

 http://[ip address]/admin/reset

The provided files don't cover all settings for all phone types and analog telephone adapters. If you want to create your own specific templates you can download the running XML configuration from any SPA type device using the following URL:

 http://[ip address of device]/admin/spacfg.xml
 

Semi Automated Setup

In case you don't have your network configured for automatic provisioning, or if you want configure your phone at a remote location, you can still use the configuration system by telling the phone where to look for the its configuration.

Press the Setup button (this button looks like a page symbol) and scroll Down to Network and select it. You should now see the Current IP information. On ATA's that don't have an interface, connect a phone to telephone port 1 and dial **** (four asterisks) Then dial: 110 # - This will cause the the ATA to readback the IP address acquired via DHCP.

1. Enter this IP address into your web browser's address bar. E.g. http://192.168.12.33.
2. Click on the Admin Login link on the right hand side. The default configuration will require no password.
3. Click on the advanced link on the right hand side. This will expose further configuration options.
4. Click on the 'Provisioning' Tab
5. Enter The following 'Profile Rule' : http://[ip address of pbx]/prov/spa$MAU.cfg
6. Click on 'Submit All Changes' at the bottom of the page.
7. Reboot your phone or enter http://[ip address of phone]/admin/resync

The phone will reboot shortly and attempt to retrieve the configuration file.
