Provisioning SoundStation IP 7000 Phones Using CLink

Normally the SoundStation IP family conference phone is provisioned over the Ethernet by the boot server. However, when two SoundStation IP family phones are daisy-chained together, the one that is not directly connected to the Ethernet can still be provisioned (known as the secondary).

The provisioning over CLink feature is automatically enabled when a SoundStation IP family phone is not connected to the Ethernet. Both SoundStation IP family phones must be running the same version of the SIP application.

The steps for provisioning the secondary SoundStation IP family phone are the same as for the primary SoundStation IP family phone. You can reboot the primary without rebooting the secondary. However, the primary and secondary should be rebooted together for the primary/secondary relationship to be recognized. If you power up both SoundStation IP family phones, the primary will power up first.

Currently, provisioning over CLink is supported for the following configurations of SoundStation IP family conference phones:

•Two SoundStation IP family conference phone daisy-chained together

•Two SoundStation IP family conference phone daisy-chained together with one external microphone, specifically designed for the SoundStation IP family conference phone

The provisioning boot server (or proxy) for the secondary is determined by the following criteria:

•If the secondary is configured for DHCP, use the primary’s boot server if the primary is configured for DHCP.

•If the secondary is not configured for DHCP, use the secondary’s static boot server if it exists.

•If the secondary’s static boot server does not exists, use the primary’s boot server (ignoring the source).
