This article provides step-by-step instructions for provisioning a supported Cisco device using the Enhanced BYOP method on the UNIVERGE BLUE® CONNECT platform.
This article describes:
- Adding the device in Control Panel
- Factory resetting your Cisco SPA phone
- Entering the provisioning URL
Add the device in Control Panel
- Log in to Control Panel and navigate to UNIVERGE BLUE® CONNECT > Devices > Setup your own device.
- Select the brand and model of your device.
- Enter the MAC address found on the back of the phone.
- Assign a user and 911 address.
- Click Add device.
Factory reset your Cisco SPA phone
Note: This step applies to all SPA phones.
- Press the Settings button on the device (this button looks like a piece of paper with a folded corner).
- Navigate to Factory Reset and press Select.
- After restarting, the phone will return to factory default settings.
Enter the provisioning URL
- Plug in the phone's power cord and network cable. The phone will begin initializing, and the lights on the phone will flash (this should take about 5 seconds to complete). The phone will automatically find the local DHCP server and obtain an IP address.
- Obtain the IP address of your phone:
- Press the Settings button.
- In the Setup menu, navigate to Network > Current IP.
- On your computer, open a web browser and enter the phone's IP address in the browser's address field to access the web interface of the phone.
- Click Admin Login > Advanced.
- Click the Provisioning tab and under Configuration Profile, set:
- Profile Rule: https://config.telecomsvc.com:2443/configServlet/Cisco/$(MA).cfg
- Ensure Provision Enable is set to Yes.
- Ensure Resync on Reset is set to Yes.
- Set the Resync Delays and Resync Periodic to 30 to ensure the phone reprovisions after the soft reboot that occurs when saving this page.
- Click Submit All Changes at the bottom of the page. The phone will restart automatically.
- After restarting, the Upgrading Firmware message will display on the phone screen. Allow the process to complete without interruption. The phone will reboot a second time once the upgrade is finished.
- After the reboot, a small phone icon and line name will appear on the phone display. You can also check the status on the Info tab in the web interface (e.g., under Ext 1 Status, you will see "Registered" in the Registration State box).
Note: If the phone display shows ✖, the phone is not set up correctly or not connected to the server. Verify that all steps have been completed correctly. If the issue persists, contact Support.
