Chapter 8 Auto Provision

X6004 User’s Guide

for auto provisioning with the X6004. See the documentation that came with your 
ZyXEL device for information on how to do this. 

When a ZyXEL device is configured for auto provisioning, it attempts to find an auto 
provisioning server on its network. ZyXEL devices use Simple Service Discovery Protocol 
(SSDP) to find the IP address of an auto provisioning server (for example the X6004). This 
process is referred to as auto discovery. Some ZyXEL devices allow you to enter the IP 
address of the auto provisioning server.

"

The auto discovery process is limited to your LAN. 

Once a ZyXEL VoIP devices finds the X6004, it sends an HTTP request for a configuration 
file. The X6004 checks to see if it has a configuration file associated with the serial number or 
MAC address of the ZyXEL device requesting the configuration file. If the X6004 has the 
configuration file, then it sends the configuration file to the ZyXEL VoIP device.

If an auto provision file has been configured for a SIP extension, this screen displays the 
mapping between a SIP extension and a ZyXEL VoIP device’s MAC address or serial number. 
To access this screen, click Configuration > PBX > Server Configuration > Auto 
Provision.
