Administrator’s Guide for SIP-T2 Series/T19(P) E2/T4 Series/CP860 IP Phones68and password are specified as part of the provisioning server address, for example,http://user:pwd@server/dir, they will be used only if the server supports them.NoteSetting up the Provisioning ServerThe provisioning server can be on the local LAN or anywhere on the Internet. Use the followingprocedure as a recommendation if this is your first provisioning server setup. For moreinformation on how to set up a provisioning server, refer toYealink_SIP-T2 Series_T19(P) E2_T4Series_CP860_W56P_IP_Phones_Auto_Provisioning_Guide.To set up the provisioning server:1. Install a provisioning server application or locate a suitable existing server.2. Create an account and home directory.3. Set security permissions for the account.4. Create configuration files and edit them as desired.5. Copy the configuration files and resource files to the provisioning server.For more information on how to deploy IP phones using configuration files, refer to DeployingPhones from the Provisioning Server on page 68.NoteDeploying Phones from the Provisioning ServerThe parameters in the new downloaded configuration files will override the duplicateparameters in files downloaded earlier. During auto provisioning, IP phones download thecommon configuration file first, and then the MAC-oriented file. Therefore any parameter in theMAC-oriented configuration file will override the same one in the common configuration file.Yealink supplies configuration files for each phone model, which is delivered with the phonefirmware. The configuration files, supplied with each firmware release, must be used with thatrelease. Otherwise, configurations may not take effect, and the IP phone will behave withoutexception. Before you configure parameters in the configuration files, Yealink recommends thatyou create new configuration files containing only those parameters that require changes.Typically all phones are configured with the same server account, but the server account providesa means of conveniently partitioning the configuration. Give each account a unique homedirectory on the server and change the configuration on a per-line basis.A URL should contain forward slashes instead of back slashes and should not contain spaces.Escape characters are not supported.If a user name and password are not specified as part of the provisioning server address, the UserName and Password of the provisioning server configured on the phone will be used.There are two types of FTP methods—active and passive. IP phones are not compatible withactive FTP.
