Refer to the SPA9000 Voice System SPA Provisioning Guide for further details.

The names of parameters in XML profiles can generally be inferred from the SPA9000 configuration Web pages, by substituting underscores (_) for spaces and other control characters. Further, to distinguish between Lines 1, 2, 3, and 4, corresponding parameter names are augmented by the strings _1_, _2_, _3_, and _4_. For example, Line 1 Proxy is named Proxy_1_ in XML profiles.

Parameters in the case of source text files for the SPC tool are similarly named, except that to differentiate Line 1, 2, 3, and 4, the appended strings ([1], [2], [3], or [4]) are used. For example, the Line 1 Proxy is named Proxy[1] in source text profiles for input to the SPC.

Client Auto-Configuration

An unprovisioned client station in the factory default state can be automatically provisioned by the SPA9000 by following the flow chart shown in Figure 5 “Unprovisioned Client Station Acquiring a Configuration Profile” on page185.

When the SPA9000 receives a request for /cfg/init_$MA.xml, it automatically assigns the next available user ID (extension number) to this client station. The next user ID to be assigned to a new client station is configured using The <Next Auto User ID> parameter and is automatically incremented each time a new number is assigned. Before assigning a new user ID, the SPA9000 also checks whether there is any registered client station using that ID and keeps increasing the ID until an unused value is found.
