A fully automatic provisioning system is absolutely essential for any large-scale deployment. IP
phone auto-provisioning is achieved using two well-known protocols:
- DHCP (Dynamic Host Connection Protocol)
- TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol)
CAUTION: DHCP and TFTP servers software are freely available over the Internet, but please
ensure that any software you download is able to support all features required for APS
application
DHCP server must support options 66, 132, 133,134 and 135
This administrator guide explains how to set up an APS in two recommended scenarios:
- configuration scenario for warehouses
- configuration scenario for entreprises
