Edit Managed Phone screen allows you to create configuration files for auto-provisioning. To “provision” a phone is to supply it with all the information it needs to register with a SIP server (Asterisk) and become operational. The phones' auto-provisioning files are generated automatically when User Extensions are created in Bulk Generator or individually.

The Auto-Provisioning screens allow you to further refine auto-provisioning information and assign options to phones' buttons/function keys as needed.

All the phones for which Thirdlane PBX generates auto-provisioning configuration files are considered to be Managed Phones as opposed to unmanaged devices whose configuration and provisioning is not handled by Thirdlane PBX.
