Automatic Setup of Registration and Mailbox 3

Problem Statement

When consumers install a VoIP phone out of the box, they expect the phone to start

working immediately without any further setup. The plug and play mechanisms of the

snom VoIP phones allow this and the remote controlling capabilities of the snom 4S

components can be used to set up the necessary accounts.

This FAQ is intended as a template for ITSP.

It can be extended and modied to the specic needs of the ITSP. See the FAQ on cControlling

the snom 4S from a Linux Shell and conguring the snom100 for mass deployment.

In this FAQ, we use PHP for answering the requests from the phone during the boot phase.

However, any other mechanism to generate web content dynamically can be used.

For large deployments, the setup needs to integrate a database. This can be done upon

request by snom. However, in this FAQ we use the le system to keep track of the system

setup.

Redirection

This FAQ redirects the phone’s setting URL to a php le with the MAC address as argument.

The le content of snom200.htm is therefore:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC „-//W3C//DTD HTML

4.0 Transitional//EN">

<html>

<pre>

# Redirect all phones to the php script

setting_server: http://snomag.de/snom200/

snom200.php?mac={mac}

hw_test: done

</pre>

</html>

PHP script

The PHP script generates an html page that could come from a manual conguration

setup.

The MAC address of the phone is provided as argument to the page url and the script puts

this into the variable number. The type of phone is dened in the variable type.

To avoid overwriting already existing mailbox setup, the script rst checks whether a

mailbox has already been set up by checking for a le. This le is created when the mailbox has

been set up at the end of the mailbox setup part of the script.

In this example, the script converts the hex MAC number into a telephone-like number. It

is important that the function does not generate the same number for different MAC addresses.

Typically, this part should be replaced with a database lookup. Here the script could also check

whether the phone has been registered for this service (for example at the point of sale).

The mailbox creation and setup are done with a curl system call. See the FAQ on Controlling

the 4S for details on this.

After this, the necessary settings are printed using the echo instruction of PHP. Here, too,

we set the address of the music on hold server so that callers can hear music when they are

put on hold.

The settings are writable (exclamation mark) so that the user may change them if desired.

Whether this is made stricter depends upon the operator’s policy.
