Setting Up Your System81provisioning method as your primary configuration method. For more information oncentral provisioning, refer to Central Provisioning on page 82. A provisioning server maximizes the flexibility you have when installing, configuring,upgrading, and managing the DECT IP phones, and enables you to store boot,configuration, log, and contact files on the server. You can set up a provisioning server onthe local area network (LAN) or anywhere on the Internet. For more information, refer toSetting Up a Provisioning Server on page 91. If the DECT IP phone cannot obtain the address of a provisioning server during startup,and has not been configured with settings from any other source, the DECT IP phone willuse configurations stored in the flash memory. If the phone that cannot obtain theaddress of a provisioning server has previously been configured with settings it will usethose previous settings.Provisioning MethodsDECT IP phones can be configured automatically through configuration files stored on a centralprovisioning server, manually via web user interface or handset user interface, or by acombination of the automatic and manual methods. If a central provisioning server is notavailable, you can configure most features using manual method.There may be a configuration priority among the provisioning methods - settings you makeusing a higher priority provisioning method override settings made using a lower priorityprovisioning method.The precedence order for configuration parameter changes is as follows (from highest tolowest):Note The priority mechanism takes effect only if the value of the parameter“static.auto_provision.custom.protect” is set to 1. For more information on this parameter,refer to Configuration Parameters on page 106.Static settings have no priority. For example, settings associated with autoprovisioning/network/syslog, TR069 settings and internal settings (e.g., the temporaryconfigurations to be used for program running). For more information, refer to Appendix E:Static Settings on page 474.
