[asterisk-users] Provisioning Linksys PAP2T ATA's

[Mattt]

Doug,

  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.

  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").

  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.

  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...

  Good luck with it :-)
