Yealink Forums

OK, This is a lob into the community for a recommendation on how to setup an auto-provisioning solutions.

GOAL-1: A zero touch solution to provision phones to register on the phone system.
GOAL-2: Provide the ability to Authenticate the Phone to the provisioning system (e.g. username/password)
GOAL-3: Encrypt the provisioning information during transport (e.g. ftps, https, etc)

Solution-1: TFTP - no authentication mechanism, not encryption mechanism
Solution-2: FTP/HTTP - no encryption mechanism, Problem, how to get the username/password for the site to the phone automatically?
Solution-3: FTPS/FTPES/SFTP/HTTPS - Problem, How to get the username/password to the phone automatically. Not sure it's supported by Yealink

Any solutions, ideas, comments would be greatly appreciated

Hi CraigFox,

To answer your qeustion:

1.FTPS/FTPES/SFTP are not supported in Yealink phones.
2.The username/password can't be obtain automatically, you have to configure it through autoprovision or manual. A suggestion is creating a private provision server using DHCP option when you deploy these phones. Place a configuration file in this private provision server which contain username/password and change the autoprovision URL to a HTTPS server. After booting up, the phone can get an username/password and an HTTPS autoprovision server URL.
3. The above operation can be achieved through RPS too.

Regards,
James
