How to Configure Auto Provisioning
Take the following steps to configure auto provisioning for the VoIP devices on your network. See

for an auto provisioning tutorial.
1
Configure SIP extensions that the snom VoIP devices will use. See

In the Auto Provision screen, map the SIP extensions to the MAC addresses of the snom VoIP
devices by either adding the mappings manually or uploading a batch XML file. See

You can use the Auto Provision Advance screen to configure the feature key settings and
firmware upgrade URLs for the snom VoIP devices connected to the ISG50 See

Configure the auto provisioning compliant snom devices to receive configuration information from
the ISG50. This typically involves specifying the protocol used for auto provisioning. At the time of
writing, you can use HTTP protocol for auto provisioning with the ISG50. See the documentation
that came with your snom device for information on how to do this.

How Auto Provisioning Works
When a snom device is configured for auto provisioning, it attempts to use Simple Service
Discovery Protocol (SSDP) to find the IP address of an auto provisioning server (for example the
ISG50). This process is referred to as auto discovery.

Note: The auto discovery process is limited to your LAN.
Once a snom VoIP device finds the ISG50, it sends an HTTP request for a configuration file. The
ISG50 checks to see if it has a configuration file associated with the serial number or MAC address
of the snom device requesting the configuration file. If the ISG50 has the configuration file, then it
sends the configuration file to the snom VoIP device.

You can also upload XML format files to the ISG50 for batch configuring ZyXEL’s IP phones.
40.1.3 Before You Begin
Before you start configuring Auto Provisioning on your ISG50, you should prepare the following:
).
• Find your snom VoIP devices’ MAC addresses on the devices’ back panel or package boxes. Use
those to associate SIP numbers to your VoIP devices.
