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 software 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.

Scenario overview

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.

Scenario overview

This is the service scenario using XML files

Scenario 3: Self care model – with centralized management

Benefits

Scenario 4: Self care model – no centralized management

  • Strictly speaking, this is no mass deployment scenario - but is nevertheless described to ?????
