Setting up an own provisioning server

The general procedure for setting up auto-provisioning of Gigaset IP phones is as follows:

Installing a HTTP Server, or use your existing HTTP server.

• Linux Server
• Windows Server
• Other OS running HTTP server

Preparing your Server

• Installing (Apache) HTTP server

Provisioning File structure.

You have to create the necessary directories and copy the files into the file system structure.

Creating directories

• Create a new directory gigaset within the web server document path, e.g. /var/www/html:
• Copy the files to the provisioning server

The data structure is as follows:

Within the HTTP server file system the gigaset directory is created containing a sub-directory for each device type. The numbers used as directory names correspond to the device or the device variant of the Gigaset IP phones.

For each device variant a master file (master.bin) is stored. In addition all files that are necessary for the device, e.g. firmware, language files for the Web GUI, help files, texts for the handset UI, auto-provisioning links, are available.
Gigaset provides the provisioner, e.g. the PBX manufacturer, with the required data structure.
