PNP

[RobertO]

It is possible to add custom settings to the PNP settings? For example to have an other XML-File with custom settings that is send to the phone? It would be nice to define such a file globaly and per phone.

Well, you can always put a "custom" file into the html directory. What file are you looking at?

Ok, I generate a xml file with my additional phone settings an put this file in the html directory. What is to do to bind this file to the pnp config. For a new phone I only want to activate pnp and the phone should get the PNP-config and the "custom" settings from my xml file.

There is a lot of information on this topic on http://wiki.pbxnsip.com/index.php/Automatic_Provisioning. I attach the latest version of the pnp.xml file. If you need other files, let me know.

pnp.xml

How does the pnp.xml file in the html-directory works together with the config files ind the generated directory? I want to set a phone parameter on all phones. Adding the parameter under

 

<file name="snom_3xx_phone.xml" encoding="xml">

<pattern>!snom_3xx_phone-([0-9A-F]{12})\.xml!\1!</pattern>

<parameter name="vlan"></parameter>

<parameter name="admin_pin">0001</parameter>

 

section has no effect.

The parameters are used in the respective file. For example, there is somewhere in the snom_3xx_phone.xml file a place where the parameter vlan is being used. We started doing that because there are some settings that you just don't want to hard code.

Sorry I dont get it....

 

I have Snom setting that should be applied on any phone that get it's config with PNP. These are:

 

<transfer_on_hangup perm="">on</transfer_on_hangup>

<call_waiting perm="">off</call_waiting>

<time_24_format perm="">on</time_24_format>

<date_us_format perm="">off</date_us_format>

Do anyone have an advice for Dummys what is to do?

 

- What file I have to be changed?

- What entrys have to be changed?

- What file I have to be placed in what directorys?

 

Any help would be fine!

 

Thanks

We could add a parameter to the config files. For the time format, it might even make sense to make this dependent on the time zone (US = 12 hour format). I am not sure about call waiting, that can also be configured with the number of lines for that extension.

1. Yes I agree to this. This settings should be timezone dependent. In our German enviroment the after a PNP prov. the Phone have the following settings.

 

<timezone perm="RW">USA</timezone>

<tone_scheme perm="RW">USA</tone_scheme>

 

This settings could also be tied to the timezone setting of the PBX.

 

2. Can you advice how to configure with a numer of lines ;-)

 

Thanks

<tone_scheme perm="RW">USA</tone_scheme>

What tone scheme do you use?

This is under the registration settings for the extension.
