Before a description is provided of the individual configuration options in this section of STARFACE, a general explanation of STARFACE autoprovisioning is provided here.
In principle, the telephones automatically receive the following properties through autoprovisioning:
- SIP account (registering the telephone on STARFACE)
- Access data to protect the telephone configuration
- Function keys
- Language files
- STARFACE user menu for the telephone display
- Firmware updates
In principle, a distinction is made between 3 types of autoprovisioning.
Zero-Touch
With this form of autoprovisioning, no measures need to be taken by you as the administrator, and the telephones are connected to STARFACE fully automatically. The following conditions must be met for this form of provisioning to work:
- The telephone to be connected is in the same subnet as STARFACE, so the telephone has the IP address 192.168.1.35 and STARFACE has the IP address 192.168.1.100.
- The telephone model to be connected supports Zero-Touch provisioning.
- The corresponding ports were taken into account in the network’s security settings (see also “Overview of Port Usage of the STARFACE”).
One-Touch (Auto)
The term One-Touch (Auto) refers to the fact that the action only needs to be performed on STARFACE once. During this process, the STARFACE telephone search must be used to connect the telephones.
One-Touch (Manual)
The term One-Touch (Manual) refers to the fact that the telephones only have to be configured once to prepare them for connection to STARFACE.
During this process, the server path to STARFACE must be entered manually on the telephone’s web interface. The corresponding path information can be found in the online documentation.
