Provisioning
Provisioning is the automated configuration of IP devices via a provisioning server.
After entering the access data, the softphone receives its basic configuration from the provisioning server of the PBX. For this purpose, the supported Auerswald PBXs have provisioning templates for the softphone. Based on these provisioning templates, individual provisioning files can be created and assigned to the softphones.
Please consult the PBX manual for this.Elements can be taken from a backup file (*.xml) and integrated into an individual provisioning file. This also includes configuration data that is not offered via the user interface, such as showing/hiding pages in the navigation.
Further help under BackupDetails about the XML settings are in the Auerswald DokuWiki
Note: If the LDAP server is enabled in the PBX, the LDAP access data is provisioned as part of the basic configuration. However, querying LDAP contact data is only possible if the softphone is in the same network as the PBX. If this is not the case, the LDAP credentials should be removed from an individual provisioning file.Further help under ContactsProvisioning example navigation
In the following example, provisioning is used to hide the following pages in the navigation:
•Identity
•Backup
Note: All pages are shown in the delivery state (true). The provisioning file must only contain the elements for pages to be hidden (false).<userInterface> | |||

Provisioning example DNS server
In the following example, the system's own DNS servers are activated instead of the Auerswald DNS servers (optional in case of connection problems):
<identity> | |||
... | |||
<useSystemDns>true</useSystemDns> | |||
</identity> | |||
