Provisioning is key to centralized management of your video network. With provisioning, the
administrator can simultaneously congure a group of video endpoints from a single location.
Provisioning replaces the endpoint’s les by uploading a new set of les that contain different
settings. This feature eliminates the need for the administrator to congure the endpoint manually
each time an endpoint is deployed or when a group of endpoints need to be recongured.
Provisioning is extremely useful when a setting needs to have the same value for a group of
endpoints. For instance, in the page below:
System Info > Admin Setup > LAN / H.323 > Global Address > Server
The elds on this page are Server IP address and Server Password. The values for these elds
will be the same for most endpoints belonging to a certain campus. Provisioning can easily
update these values for a group of endpoints if, let’s say, the server IP address changes.
Examples of when Provisioning is advantageous:
* Deployment of endpoints
* Server IP address changes
* Changes for Security settings
* Implementation of Gatekeeper within enterprise
* Implementation of Gateway within enterprise
* Changes in QoS settings
Applications for provisioning are not limited to updating large groups of endpoints; small groups
(i.e., 2-4 endpoints) can also be provisioned with new settings.
