Introduction

Introduction
Yealink IP phones are full-featured telephones that can be plugged directly into an IP network
and can be used easily without manual configuration.
This guide provides instructions on how to provision Yealink IP phones with the minimum
settings required. Yealink IP phones support FTP, TFTP, HTTP, and HTTPS protocols for auto
provisioning and are configured by default to use the TFTP protocol.
Supported Phones
The purpose of this guide is to serve as a basic guidance for provisioning Yealink IP phones.
The following table lists product names and available firmware versions for IP phones that use
auto provisioning process outlined in this guide.

We recommend that IP phones running the latest firmware should not be downgraded to an
earlier firmware version. The new firmware is compatible with old configuration parameters,
but not vice versa.

Getting Started
This section provides instructions on how to get ready for auto provisioning. To begin the auto
provisioning, the following steps are required:
Obtaining Boot, Configuration and Resource Files
Obtaining Phone Information
Obtaining Boot, Configuration and Resource Files
Boot Files
The IP phone tries to download the boot file first, and then download the configuration files
referenced in the boot file during auto provisioning. You can select whether to use the boot file
or not according to your deployment scenario. If required, you need to obtain the template boot
file named as “y000000000000.boot” before auto provisioning.
You can use a boot file to specify which configuration files to be downloaded for specific phone
groups by phone model identity, and customize the download sequence of configuration files. It
is efficient for you to provision IP phones in different deployment scenarios, including all IP
phones, specific phone groups, or a single phone.
The configuration files referenced in the boot file are flexible: you can rearrange the
configuration parameters within the Yealink-supplied template configuration files or create your
own configuration files from configuration parameters you want. You can create and name as
many configuration files as you want and your own configuration files can contain any
combination of configuration parameters.
Configuration Files
Before provisioning, you also need to obtain template configuration files. There are two
configuration files both of which are CFG-formatted. We call these two files Common CFG file
and MAC-Oriented CFG file.
The configuration files contain parameters that affect the features of the phone. You can use the
configuration files to deploy and maintain a mass of Yealink IP phones automatically.
You can create and name as many configuration files as you want (e.g., account.cfg, sip.cfg,
features.cfg) by using the template configuration files. The custom configuration files can
contain the configuration parameters of the same feature modules for all phones.

Resource Files
When configuring some particular features, you may need to upload resource files to IP phones,
such as personalized AutoDST file, language package file and local contact file. Resource files
are optional, but if the particular feature is being employed, these files are required.
Yealink supplies the following resource file templates:

DST
AutoDST.xml
Language Packs
For example,
000.GUI.English.lang
1.English_note.xml
1.English.js

Obtaining Template Files
You can ask the distributor or Yealink FAE for template files. You can also obtain them online:
http://support.yealink.com/documentFront/forwardToDocumentFrontDisplayPage.
To download template boot, configuration and resource files:
1. Go to Yealink Document Download page and select the desired phone model.
2. Download and extract the combined template files to your local system.
For example, the following illustration shows the template files available for SIP-T23G IP
phones running firmware version 82.
3. Open the folder you extracted and identify the files you want to edit.
Obtaining Phone Information
Before provisioning, you also need the IP phone information. For example, MAC address and the
SIP account information of the IP phone.
MAC Address: The unique 12-digit serial number of the IP phone. You can obtain it from the
bar code on the back of the IP phone.
SIP Account Information: This may include SIP credentials such as user name, password and IP
address of the SIP server. Ask your system administrator for SIP account information.

Provisioning Yealink IP Phones
This section provides instructions on how IP phones interoperate with provisioning server for
auto provisioning, and shows you the auto provisioning process and the four major tasks to
provision the phones. It will help users who are not familiar with auto provisioning to
understand this process more easily and quickly.
Interoperating with Provisioning Server
When IP phones are triggered to perform auto provisioning, they will request to download the
boot files and configuration files from the provisioning server. During the auto provisioning, the
IP phone will download and update configuration files to the phone flash.
The following figure shows how the IP phone interoperates with the provisioning server:

The following flowchart shows how Yealink IP phones perform auto provisioning when using
configuration files only:

Scenario B –Support Exclude Mode
This scenario is only applicable to IP phones (except W52P/W56P IP phones) running firmware version 83 or later.

Major Tasks for Auto Provisioning
You need to complete four major tasks to provision Yealink IP phones.
The following figure shows an overview of four major provisioning tasks:
For more information on how to manage boot files, refer to Managing Boot Files.
For more information on how to manage configuration files, refer to Managing Configuration
Files.
For more information on how to manage resource files, refer to Managing Resource Files.
For more information on how to configure a provisioning server, refer to Configuring a
Provisioning Server.
For more information on how to obtain the provisioning server address, refer to Obtaining the
Provisioning Server Address.
For more information on how to perform auto provisioning, refer to Triggering the IP Phone to
Perform Auto Provisioning.
If you are not familiar with auto provisioning on Yealink IP phones, you can refer to An Instance
of Auto Provision Configuration.

An Instance of Auto Provision Configuration
This section shows an instance of auto provision configuration.
1. Manage boot files.
Specify the desired URL (e.g., tftp://10.2.5.193/network.cfg) of the configuration files in the
boot file (e.g., y000000000000.boot). For more information, refer to Managing Boot Files.
2. Manage configuration files.
Add/Edit the desired configuration parameters in the CFG file (e.g., features.cfg) you want
the IP phone to download. For more information on how to manage configuration files,
refer to Managing Configuration Files.
3. Configure the TFTP server.
1) Place boot files, configuration files and resource files to TFTP root directory (e.g.,
D:\TFTP Directory).
