Setting up Your System
3 - 15
Multiple boot servers can be configured by having the boot server DNS name
map to multiple IP addresses. The default number of boot servers is one and
the maximum number is eight. HTTPS, HTTP, and FTP are supported for
redundant boot servers.
For all SoundPoint IP and SoundStation IP phones, follow the normal
provisioning process in the next section, Provisioning Phones. However, if you
have decided to daisy-chain two SoundStation IP 7000 conference phones
together, read the information in Provisioning SoundStation IP 7000 Phones
Using CLink on page 3-18 to understand the different provisioning options
available.
Provisioning Phones
To deploy phones from the boot server:
1. (Optional) Create per-phone configuration files by performing the
following steps:
a Obtain a list of phone Ethernet addresses (barcoded label on
underside of phone and on the outside of the box).
b Create per-phone phone[MACaddress].cfg file by using the
phone1.cfg file from the distribution as templates.
For more information on the phone1.cfg file, refer to Per-Phone
Configuration on page A-106.
c Edit contents of phone[MACaddress].cfg if desired.
For example, edit the parameters.
Note
For more information on encrypting configuration files, refer to Encrypting
Configuration Files on page C-4.
Note
This step may be omitted if per-phone configuration is not needed.
Note
Throughout this guide, the terms Ethernet address and MAC address are used
interchangeable.
