Auto Provisioning For Polycom & Grandstream Phones

Auto Provisioning Module

The module now works with polycom and grand stream

there was a redisign on how it works. now inside the autoprovision modules directory the is a template files directory. a feature should be added that the user can upload these.

The basic idea is the same take a template from the templates folder substitute vars. and upload the new file

for grandstream it also uses autoprovision/helpers/config.php to create the config files for the phones.

it uses a exec call to "tftp localhost -c put" to upload the files. this should also be change to a "setting". allow the to be a exec call allow the user to select how he want the files uploaded: tftp, ftp, mv, scp, etc.

also todo:
Change "Settings" to "Tools"
Upload of config files
Add in setting where you can set other vars. e.g. NTP server

Updated version

Made some updates, mainly cleaned up the code. added a Auto Provision section to extensions and devices, this adds a MAC address field and an enable, disable.

might help with #459 and #103

two quick notes. First - we have been doing a lot of work on the auto-provisioning (silently) and it will work quite different. We'll look through your work if there is some stuff to leverage but want to make sure you are aware so you don't put more work into this then you really want to.

another note - all the guielements library will be deprecrated and removed within the next release or so - so be careful how much time you invest into using those libraries. Feel free to find me on the #freepbx-dev irc if you have questions and for now thanks for the submissions.

autoconfig update from phone

customer app for autoconf.php

Added files
autoconf.php - goes in /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/
extensions_custom.conf - goes in /etc/asterisk/

the idea of thies is that you can make Auto Provisioning changes from the phone (current by dialing *456)

For example on polycom phones: set up a default 000000000000.cfg that assings the phone a temp account from the phone then you assign the phone it's actual device account.

This would allow installing and configuing the phones in one job.

I installed this module on FreePBX 2.4.1.0 (PiaF 1.2) and it all worked fine. That ought to get me through until the official provisioning module comes out in v3.0.
