Provisioning Phones

INFO: If you are missing phones from this list then you will need to contact your Service Provider with MAC addresses of the devices you would like to be added. You will also need to contact your Service Provider to remove a device from this list. 

Depending on your order and configuration you may have already provisioned all your phones to subscribers you may also have requested phone to be added but not provisioned to a subscriber. You can see from this example that the Snom D785 has not been assigned to a subscriber.

In this example we are going to to assign the Snom D785 to the subscriber 01132991001. Tick the check box next to phone that you would like to assign, then enter the subscribers phone number and click on Assign to Line.

Now we need to set the authentication so the device in question can contact the provisioning server and download the correct configuration for that subscriber. You can either set an Authenticate until time or just click on Allow authentication for an hour from now. Then click OK

INFO: We strongly advise against leaving authentication open for more than a couple of hours as this could leave your phones open to attacks from the outside world. 

Next you need to reboot the device for the new configuration to be download. Depending on the firmware on your device is may reboot several times before the configuration has completed and the user is registered. Once the user is registered the phone is ready to be used.

When completed successfully the question mark box next the phone will also change to a picture of that phone.
