Introduction
Zero Touch Deployment describes a method of deploying a Desk Phone CP SIP device, without user interaction, via the Unify redirect server. For this to work, a service provider needs access to the redirect server API, in order to prepare the deployment of the device. On initial startup or after a factory reset, the device will contact the redirect server and will receive information about the service providers deployment system.
API
The redirect server API is available at https://cloud-setup.com/api/devices and supports the following methods
- POST
- PUT
- DELETE
POST
The POST method is used to retrieve information about devices prepared for zero touch deployment. The data sent in the POST request must contain the mac address of up to 100 devices per request.
[{"mac":"01:23:45:67:89:ab"},...]
the mac address can be provided in the following format
| Key | Value |
|---|---|
| mac required |
01:23:45:67:89:AB 01-23-45-67-89-AB 01:23:45:67:89:ab 01-23-45-67-89-ab |
The data received on a successful request.
[{"mac":"01:23:45:67:89:ab","result":"OK","data":"'<Item name="bw-dms-addr">https://192.168.0.100/home</Item>\r\n<Item name="language-iso">de</Item>'"},...]
| Key | Value |
|---|---|
| mac | The MAC address sent in the request or ERROR if no MAC given |

If the result is ERROR, will contain the reason for the ERROR response |
DELETE
The DELETE method is used to delete information about devices prepared for zero touch deployment. The data sent in the DELETE request must contain the mac address of up to 100 devices per request.
[{"mac":"01:23:45:67:89:ab"},...]
the mac address can be provided in the following format
| Key | Value |

Items
The following items can be prepared to be deployed to the device during the zero touch deployment process.
| Item name | Index | Description |
|---|---|---|
| dls-addr | false | The address of a DLS server |
| dls-port | false | The port of a DLS server |
| bw-dms-addr | false | The address of a Broadworks DMS server |

| acs-username | false | The username for accessing an ACS server |
| acs-password | false | The password for accessing an ACS server |
Authentication
Access to the API is authenticated via certificate based mutual authentication. Every service provider will get an individual certificate.
== Provisioning details ==. The Desk Phone CP SIP device will only contact the redirect server for zero touch deployment under certain circumstances. It must be running with factory default settings (out of the box or after a factory reset), it must not be configured with a SIP, DLS, DMS or ACS server address via DHCP and it must be able to resolve and access cloud-setup.com on port 18443 The phone will connect to the address of cloud-setup.com and check for a zero touch deployment profile being available.
