Provisioning Configuration files

Posted by ipfreely on Sat, 04/25/2009

Hi Guys,
I have asked this before and Erik has given me some direction on this, but I am still a little fuzzy on this. My TL server is handing out config files via FTP and from the default directory /usr/src/webmin/unauthenicated/provisioning. It is working, and when I create a new extension the new config files are written to this directory and the as long as the endpoint has the write ftp settings everything is golden. Here are my questions.

BTW: As per Erik advice we have standardized on the Polycom handsets and they are working great. Thanks

1) If I want to alter things like dialplan for the phones, where should I do that?
- If I should be doing it in another file, haw does the phone know to get the additional file?
and where does it go on the TL server?
2) What if I need a different dialplan setups for different tenants?
3) Can I set an NTP server address for the IP phones from the config file? (Where)?
4) Where should I be placing the firmware upgrade files?

Thanks,
Chris A

put your customizations in /etc/asterisk/user_provisioning/tenantname and /etc/asterisk/user_provisioning/

all your custom polycom settings should get added in the polycom_local.cfg file. If you copy that over to the custom provisioning space you can edit it and those get used..

as for a different local-settings file created out of polycom_local.cfg per tenant, edit your models.txt and polycom_mac.cfg to label the file ${tenant}-settings.cfg instead of local-settings.cfg
