The SPA942s configure very readily through TFTP. You can utilize DHCP to point to your TFTP server (option 150 I think), and the phones look for a file called spa<mac_address>.cfg.<br><br>The TFTP config files are pretty straightforward and easy to configure. I usually just keep a spa-template.cfg and the individual customized lines at the top of the file to make for easy editing.<br>
<br>If you're looking to automate the file creation, it's very possible to write a shell script that does most of this automatically, prompting for the information as it creates the file.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hi there,<br>We have plans to install an office (not call center) with the following setup:<br>200 linksys 942 phones (sip + g711) on a LAN<br>a server with a dual port E1 sangoma and a remora card with 4 fxo modules.<br>
So far when we want to setup a linksys phone, we need to use the http<br>interface of each phone, disable/enable a lot of things and plug it<br>into the network. this is not the best scenario for us but im sure<br>there must be something we can do to speed things up.<br>
<br>We are looking into a distribution (freepbx or pure asterisk,or<br>something else) with links to documentation to enable autoprovisioning<br>on the linksys phones.<br>What we want to achieve is enabling the linksys phones to be plugged<br>
into the lan, grab a configuration from tftp or http and be assigned<br>the next free extension. (fonality does something like that with<br>polycoms)<br><br>So far, the autoprovisioning links i've found talk about polycom<br>
phones and grandstream. but in this office (and country) linksys is<br>better to get and much less expensive than polycom phones.<br><br>Maybe some distro i haven't checked out that autoprovisions linksys 942?<br>also, a guidance (howto, manual, web link) on autoprovisioning will be<br>
gladly welcomed.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br><br>--<br>------------------------------------------------------------<br>Erick Perez<br>------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>
