High Level Overview of Phone Based Provisioning

Phone Based Registration Feature Reference

Setup a phone for Phone Based Registration

In this case we provision a phone with a fake MAC address, e.g. BAT000008012005 using bulk loaders or the VOSS-4-UC Admin portal. An optional Phone Based Registration (PBR) device record can be provisioned that provides the following functionality:

1. Configure a PIN code that can be used to authenticate requests to register phones with Phone Based Registration.
2. Assist with unique identification of device to replace where directory numbers are not unique within a Call Manager Cluster.

Register a phone with Phone Based Registration

Assuming the Phone is correctly setup the following steps are required to register a phone with the Phone Based Registration Add-On.

1. Auto Register a physical phone with Cisco Call Manager.
2. Access the Phone Services Menu on the Auto Registered Phone.
3. Select Register Phone menu option.
4. Enter extension and PIN (if required).
5. Submit request.

This initiates a request to VOSS-4-UC to replace the configuration of the Auto Registered Phone with the rich settings defined for the pre-provisioned device with fake MAC.
