Device Configurability and Characteristics and Setting Options
Provisioning is the automated configuration of phones via a provisioning server from which the phones can transmit the necessary configuration data.
*Further help in the Auerswald DokuWiki.
The phone accepts the configuration data directly from a file distributed over the network.
*Note: Please note with individual provisioning files: New provisionable functions require the latest firmware. If necessary, save your previous provisioning file and add it to a current provisioning file.

Provisioning via the provisioning server can be done regularly (e.g. weekly) automatically. You can set the weekday, time and the address of the provisioning server on the phone.
Possibilities of automatic provisioning:
Provisioning with the help of DHCP data
Provisioning via the redirect server
Provisioning from PBX search
Provisioning via a set provisioning server
*Note: For further information refer to the Advanced Information of the IP phones.
Specific characteristics COMfortel 1200 IP
The COMfortel 1200 IP is no system phone and cannot be configured automatically by PBX search, therefore, further settings on the phone are required (see Advanced Information of the phone). However, the phone can be identified by its MAC address.
Specific characteristics COMfortel 1400 IP/2600 IP/3600 IP
If configured as system phones, these phones will find the provisioning server automatically in factory settings state – as of firmware version 2.4 – and will automatically carry out a provisioning process in case of modifications.
Provisioning-capable PBX systems:
COMpact 4000
COMpact 5000/R
COMpact 5200/5500/R
COMmander 6000/R/RX
Specific characteristics COMfortel 3200/3500
Provisioning is only possible cyclically, in accordance with a schedule. The address of the provisioning server must be communicated via DHCP or entered manually on the phone.
Particularities COMfortel D-100/D-200
These devices are not system phones, but provisioning is possible. The devices automatically find the provisioning server in the as-delivered state and automatically carry out a new provisioning if changes are made.
You can use the templates in a provisioning file to extend the range of functions on the phone. These additional functions can be assigned to function keys (see Advanced Information of the phone).

Configuration procedure:
Assigning a MAC address (page Abonnés (Abo) > Features > Paramètres VoIP)
Creating a file as header file (page Abonnés (Abo) > Provisioning d’IP > Gestion des fichiers)
If required, selecting a provisioning file as template (page Abonnés (Abo) > Provisioning d’IP > Gestion des fichiers)
Creating provisioning files (see Auerswald DokuWiki)
Making provisioning settings on the phone:
Setting the provisioning type (see manual of the phone)
If necessary, entering the address of the provisioning server, starting with https://, (see manual of the phone)
*Note: For COMfortel 3200/3500 you have to enter:https://IP-Anlage:4433/provdata?mac=<MACADR> under Paramètres > Update and Provisioning > Automatic Provisioning > Provisioning Server.
Proceed as follows for configuration (page Abonnés (Abo) > Provisioning d’IP > Paramètres):
Switching provisioning on/off
Switching access without client certificate on/off
Switching provisioning only with local network on/off
Setting the language of the phone after configuration
If necessary, remove unassigned phones (page Abonnés (Abo) > Téléphones non attribués)
