Digium® IP Phones Support Auto Provisioning with Integrics’ Enswitch 
Commercial Telephony Services

Interoperability Makes it Easy to Quickly Deploy Thousands of Phones, 
Reduces Time, Effort Required for Large Telephony Deployments

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., March 4, 2013—Digium®, Inc., the Asterisk® Company, 
and Integrics, a software engineering company providing 
telecommunications software to customers worldwide, today announced 
Digium’s IP phones now support automatic provisioning with Integrics 
Enswitch, a soft-switch for commercial carrier-grade telephony services 
built on top of Asterisk. The interoperability of the phones with 
Enswitch reduces the time and effort required to deploy large numbers of 
handsets for customers.

Enswitch is a highly powerful, scalable and flexible solution for 
commercial telephony services, such as full-featured, multi-tenant 
hosted PBX, Internet Telephone Service Provider (ITSP) services, 
toll-free and number translation services, calling cards and call shops. 
Used by carriers around the world, Enswitch supports hundreds of 
thousands of users and tens of thousands of concurrent calls on a 
redundant cluster. Integration and extensive testing ensures that 
Digium’s D70, D50 and D40 phones work seamlessly with Enswitch.

The Digium phones are specifically engineered to fully leverage the 
power of Asterisk, the world’s most widely adopted open source 
communications software, and Switchvox, Digium’s award-winning Unified 
Communications (UC) system. Business customers using Digium IP phones 
benefit from the best possible performance, unprecedented integration 
and a feature-rich, customizable phone system.

“Enswitch is designed to offer a wide range of commercial telephony 
services in a single, integrated phone system,” said Alistair 
Cunningham, founder and general manager, Integrics. “We were able to 
integrate Enswitch with the Digium phones without any difficulty and the 
primary advantage is the ability to quickly and easily roll out 
thousands of phones. It could be time consuming if you had to configure 
each phone manually.”

System owners, resellers and end customers can automatically provision 
the Digium IP phones from within the Enswitch web interface or via the 
SOAP API. After a user enters the Enswitch server address into the phone 
and the phone’s MAC address into the Enswitch server, the phone 
automatically downloads the proper configuration and contacts via HTTP. 
Additionally, each Enswitch system owner can create and edit custom 
provisioning templates and choose which template applies to each phone.

"The ability to develop real custom applications on the Digium phones in 
JavaScript allows service providers to easily integrate their back-end 
web and switch services with an end user's phone,” said David Hardy, 
director of business development for Digium. “This provides service 
differentiation for customers like Integrics, while increasing 
functionality and productivity."
