To add a new IP phone to the SPA9000, connect the IP phone to the QoS switch to which the SPA9000 is connected and power on the unit.

To add a previously-used IP phone to the SPA9000, perform the following steps:

1.Upgrade the IP phone with SPA9000-compatible firmware.

2.Factory reset the unit.

3.Power cycle the unit.

4.Connect the unit to the switch.

The SPA9000 provisions only the necessary parameters to the client stations. It assumes the rest of the parameters have appropriate values, which are either the default values or manually configured values. For example, the SPA9000 provisions only Extension 1 on the client stations. Access the administration web server using the Administrator account to manually configure other extensions on specific client stations.

Manual Client Configuration

The client stations can also be manually configured with the contents of the profile served by the SPA9000.

The following XML file is served by the SPA9000 when a client station requests /spa$PSN.cfg

<flat-profile>

<Resync_Periodic>1</Resync_Periodic>

<Profile_Rule>tftp://spa-9000-ip-address:69/cfg/init_$MA.xml</Profile_Rule> </flat-profile>

The following XML file is served by the SPA9000 when client station requests /cfg/init_$MA.xml:

<flat-profile>

<User_ID_1_>next-available-user-id</User_ID_1_> <Extension_1_>1</Extension_1_> <Short_Name_1_>next-available-user-id</Short_Name_1>
