Cisco ATA Provision

Firstly ensure that the ATA is currently in it's default state. If the device is brand new, then this should already be the case, if not then you may need to go through resetting the device back to factory default first before proceeding.

There are a few things you will need here as you go along.

1. The IP address of your device on your local network (your machine must be on the same network to gain access).

2. The MAC address of the device (can be found on a label at the back of the base station)

3. A Byphone user's Identity to provision the device with.

IP and MAC Address

Network Scan

If you already know the MAC address of the device, you could run a network scan on your local range, this will tell you all IP addresses in use on your network and the MAC address associated with them. If you can find the relevant MAC address within the scan, you will have been able to retrieve the IP address also and can use that in your browser to access the GUI of the device. A useful windows tool for this is Advanced IP Scanner.

Accessing the Web User Interface

Once you have the IP Address of the base station you can access the WUI via your browser (while on the same local network). Navigate to the IP address in your address bar. If your ATA is in it's default state, you will be met with a screen asking for a username and password, (default username:admin and password:admin).

You should now see a page similar to the image below.

Open

Click on to the Voice page

Open

Here you should see all of the information about your handset, including its Model/Phone Type, and MAC Address

1. Now, go to the Provisioning tab, and find the Profile Rule

2. On this field, you will need to set the Server URL for the Byphone system https://granite.byphone.co.uk/v1/provisioning/$MAU.xml

3. Next, you must associate your ATA with the Byphone system. Login to your Byphone phone system if not already.

4. Click on the Users option in the navbar on the left of the screen. 

5. Select the User the handset will be associated with, then click on Add Device. (You will require an Identity for this User, if not already created please see Identities section on how to create a new Identity).

6. You should now be met with this device's settings page. Here you can alter the label that this device is known as within the system, please ensure that it is unique. You can see the Device Settings or delete the device if no longer required. We will concentrate on the device provisioning for now

7. Enter in the MAC address of the device you are configuring, only alphanumeric characters, ignoring colons or dashes etc., and the external (WAN) IP address that the handset will be accessing from. (This ensures maximum security during provisioning. Incorrect details could result in a breach)

8. Search for an existing Identity in the Search Identities field and select the relevant one from the drop-down (You can add two Identities to a single ATA, see Supported Hardware for restrictions).

9. Select the device model from the drop-down under Device Settings (Cisco ATA 191).

10. Clicking the Save & Activate Auto-Provisioning button on the Device Settings screen in the Byphone Portal allows 10 minutes in which this device can be auto-provisioned by the Byphone system. After 10 minutes, the provisioning server will be closed to this device (until the Save & Activate Auto-Provisioning button is pressed again).

11. Ensure that on your Cisco ATA, you have the provisioning URL entered into the PROFILE RULE field. URL: https://granite.byphone.co.uk/v1/provisioning/$MAU.xml as noted in step 2. Click on the Confirm button to save those settings on the base station.
