Provisioning SoundStation IP 7000 Phones Using CLink
Normally the SoundStation IP family conference phone is provisioned over
the Ethernet by the boot server. However, when two SoundStation IP family
phones are daisy-chained together, the one that is not directly connected to the
Ethernet can still be provisioned (known as the secondary).
The provisioning over CLink feature is automatically enabled when a
SoundStation IP family phone is not connected to the Ethernet. Both
SoundStation IP family phones must be running the same version of the SIP
application.
The steps for provisioning the secondary SoundStation IP family phone are the
same as for the primary SoundStation IP family phone. You can reboot the
primary without rebooting the secondary. However, the primary and
secondary should be rebooted together for the primary/secondary
relationship to be recognized. If you power up both SoundStation IP family
phones, the primary will power up first.
Currently, provisioning over CLink is supported for the following
configurations of SoundStation IP family conference phones:
• Two SoundStation IP family conference phone daisy-chained together
• Two SoundStation IP family conference phone daisy-chained together
with one external microphone, specifically designed for the SoundStation
IP family conference phone
The provisioning boot server (or proxy) for the secondary is determined by the
following criteria:
• If the secondary is configured for DHCP, use the primary’s boot server if
the primary is configured for DHCP.
• If the secondary is not configured for DHCP, use the secondary’s static
boot server if it exists.
• If the secondary’s static boot server does not exists, use the primary’s boot
server (ignoring the source).
