The Provisioning settings

Provisioning Connectivity

This setting controls how the device discovers whether it should request an internal or external configuration from the provisioning server.

Requires user role: ADMIN

Value space: <Internal/External/Auto> Internal: Request internal configuration. External: Request external configuration.

Auto: Automatically discover using NAPTR queries whether internal or external configurations should be requested. If the NAPTR responses have the "e" flag, external configurations will be requested. Otherwise internal configurations will be requested.

Example: Provisioning Connectivity: Auto

Provisioning Mode

It is possible to configure the codec (video system) using a provisioning system / an external manager. This allows video conferencing network administrators to manage many video systems simultaneously.

With this setting you choose which type of provisioning system to use. Provisioning can also be switched off. Contact your provisioning system provider/representative for more information.

Requires user role: ADMIN

Value space: <Off/TMS/VCS/CallWay/CUCM/Auto>

Off: The video system will not be configured by a provisioning system.

TMS: The video system will be configured using TMS (Cisco TelePresence Management System).

VCS: The video system will be configured using VCS (Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server).

Callway: The video system will be configured using Callway (subscription service).

CUCM: The video system will be configured using CUCM (Cisco Unified Communications Manager).

Auto: The provisioning server will automatically be selected by the video system.

Example: Provisioning Mode: TMS

Provisioning LoginName

This is the user name part of the credentials used to authenticate the video system with the provisioning server. This setting must be used when required by the provisioning server. If Provisioning Mode is Callway, enter the video number.

Requires user role: ADMIN

Value space: <S: 0, 80>

Format: String with a maximum of 80 characters.

Example: Provisioning LoginName: ""

Provisioning Password

This is the password part of the credentials used to authenticate the video system with the provisioning server. This setting must be used when required by the provisioning server. If Provisioning Mode is Callway, enter the activation code.

Requires user role: ADMIN

Value space: <S: 0, 64>

Format: String with a maximum of 64 characters.

Example: Provisioning Password: ""

Provisioning HttpMethod

Select the HTTP method to be used for the provisioning.

Requires user role: ADMIN

Value space: <GET/POST>

GET: Select GET when the provisiong server supports GET.

POST: Select POST when the provisiong server supports POST.

Example: Provisioning HttpMethod: POST

Provisioning ExternalManager Address

Enter the IP Address or DNS name of the external manager / provisioning system.

If an External Manager Address (and Path) is configured, the system will send a message to this address when starting up. When receiving this message the external manager / provisioning system can return configurations/commands to the unit as a result.

When using CUCM or TMS provisioning, the DHCP server can be set up to provide the external manager address automatically (DHCP Option 242 for TMS, and DHCP Option 150 for CUCM). An address set in the Provisioning ExternalManager Address setting will override the address provided by DHCP.

Requires user role: ADMIN

Value space: <S: 0, 64>

Format: A valid IP address format or DNS name; a compact string with a maximum of 64 characters.

Example: Provisioning ExternalManager Address: ""
