Instructions for daisy-chaining SoundStation IP family conference phones are 

available in the SoundStation IP 7000 User Guide.

Normally the SoundStation IP family conference phone is provisioned over 

the Ethernet by the boot server. However, when two SoundStation IP family 

phones are daisy-chained together, the one that is not directly connected to the 

Ethernet can still be provisioned (known as the secondary). The provisioning 

over CLink feature is automatically enabled when a SoundStation IP family 

phone is not connected to the Ethernet. Both SoundStation IP family phones 

must be running the same version of the SIP application.
The steps for provisioning the secondary SoundStation IP family phone are the 

same as for the primary SoundStation IP family phone. You can reboot the 

primary without rebooting the secondary. However, the primary and 

secondary should be rebooted together for the primary/secondary 

relationship to be recognized. If you power up both SoundStation IP family 

phones, the primary will power up first.
Currently, provisioning over CLink is supported for the following 

configurations of SoundStation IP family conference phones:

• Two SoundStation IP family conference phone daisy-chained together

• Two SoundStation IP family conference phone daisy-chained together 

with one external microphone, specifically designed for the SoundStation 

IP family conference phone

Refer to 

 on page 

 for an illustration of two 

SoundStation IP family conference phone daisy-chained together.
The provisioning boot server (or proxy) for the secondary is determined by the 

following criteria:

• If the secondary is configured for DHCP, use the primary’s boot server if 

the primary is configured for DHCP.

• If the secondary is not configured for DHCP, use the secondary’s static 

boot server if it exists.

• If the secondary’s static boot server does not exists, use the primary’s boot 

server (ignoring the source).
