[asterisk-users] Best phone for easy provisioning

[Alan Ferrency]

We use Linksys/Sipura phones, and do mass provisioning via tftp and
http.

There is no need for a compiler for the SPA-841, 941, 942, 3000, or
2000 phones at least; I don't have direct experience with others. We
feed a raw XML configuration file to the phone via a cgi-bin script
which receives the MAC address as a form parameter, and all is well
with the world.

I posted our experiences on voip-info.org, here:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/sipura+mass+deployment

We've had our deployment system in place almost totally unchanged for
the last 18 months or so with no real problems. The only thing I find
slightly less than optimal is that for major configuration changes,
the phones seem to need a factory reset to pick up the changes in a
timely manner.
