We just "pre-provision" the Linksys CPE (including PAP2(T)-NA's) in the lab over TFTP after barcode-scanning the relevant information for that unit into a web management interface and, once the unit is deployed onsite, it continues to pull it's config from our prov server over HTTP.<BR>
<BR>
The provisioning service itself is just a PHP engine which pulls the relevant settings for that CPE from a database - this way, we can have individual parameters for certain customers (who might be, for instance, having issues with echo or latency, etc, etc, or some need for a different config to our "norm").<BR>
<BR>
Works a treat, is easy as (once the coding is done), and takes about 10 seconds to pre-prov (also provides the opportunity to ensure the unit isn't a DOA). Customer simply receives the device and plugs it in, waits a few seconds (the pre-prov doesn't configure the unit, just prepares it for remote provisioning from the target site), then starts making calls.<BR>
<BR>
Oh - and, unless you can locate some "new, old stock", you won't find the PAP2-NA (with the blue LEDs) anywhere. They were discontinued many months ago...<BR>
<BR>
Good luck with it :-)<BR>
