How does the zero-touch provisioning redirect service work? Ports etc?

We recently installed some phones into a school and the phones would not download the config. Removed them from the site on a normal internet connection and they provisioned fine.

Thanks

It is all done from the client (phone) so firewalls shouldn't be an issue as they typically allow all outgoing connections. As far as I know the provisioning usually takes place using http/https so normal web ports 80/443.

I suspect with a school they have outgoing connections restricted to stop in appropriate sites being viewed and they might even work from a whitelist, and only allow certain known domains or sites to be viewed, so you would need to check with whoever controls that aspect of the network.
