[asterisk-users] Phone provisioning template Snoms

I use the Polycom phones and there are any number of ways you can automate 
deployments of them. The templates you want to start with can be found on 
the Polycom website here: 
http://support.polycom.com/PolycomService/support/us/support/voice/index.html

When you download the firmware (UC software release), you get the 
templates you want included in the download. You can use FTP, TFTP, and 
HTTP that I know of to provision the phones. I use HTTP and have some 
custom php scripts that I wrote that create my own templates on the fly 
for a phone based on its mac address. You can use a combination of static 
templates for things that are system wide and dynamic templates for the 
things that are specific to each phone. You can also just create a static 
template for each phone. It really depends on how in depth you want to go. 
It does make provisioning much easier though.
