Scenario 1 Plug & Call

Benefits

  • No action required on user side (Plug & Call)
  • Phones automatically retrieve configuration data when connecting to the LAN
  • Allows complete (i.e. phone / user individual) deployment – and individual service/updates through the lifecycle
  • FTP or HTTPS protocol works in NAT environment
  • Automatic SW maintenance through the lifecycle

Prerequisites:

  • One-time pre-configuration of the LAN (DHCP option 43, e.g. on network server or CPE) – a potential limitation in SOHO environment
  • Generating the configuration files (before) installing the phones – may require minor integration work in the system management / CMR system
  • Logistics: Scanning of MAC addressing from the phone box / deploying of phones assigned to a particular user
This is the plug&call scenario using XML files


Scenario 2 Service model

Benefits

  • Only minor efforts for providing centralized configuration data (e.g. no MAC address related logistics – system wide data only)
  • Minor security requirements on processing the configuration files
  • FTP or HTTPS protocol works in NAT environment
  • Best if combined with other service offerings, e.g. network analysis / network setup - which require initial expert visit on user site

Prerequisites:

  • Initial on-site visit of a service / level 1 technician
  • DHCP option 43 helpful, but not necessarily required
