How do I set up autoprovisioning?

Set up autoprovisioning in sipgate – automatically configure and manage IP phones.

Auto provisioning or remote setup enables quick and easy configuration of Snom D phones. To configure them, you need the MAC addresses of the phones. To use auto provisioning, booking a sipgate business plan is required.

First, log in as admin. Then go to account management and then click in the navigation menu on Plug & Play. \

To add a device, click on Add.

In the pop-up window, enter the MAC address of the phone and the name of the users whose phones are to be configured.

If you connect the phone now, it will load the configuration file within a few minutes and be ready for use. If needed, you can manually adjust the configuration file in the XML editor. If you want to assign the phone to another person, click the gear icon in the top right and reassign the device.
