    If it's a auto provisioning remotely, some settings will need to be filled in the IP phone right? otherwise, how the phone finds the PBX?

    Hello,

    I have checked my configurations several times, but I am never able to use this.

    The farthest I go is the phone receiving the link for provisioning but then it's as if the phone is never able to retrieve the configuration from the PBX.

    I tried with authentication then without in provisioning. but the phone never asks me for the username or password.

    am i missing something??

    I'm almost sure that I followed the procedure well then of my configuration on the PBX too.

    Good phone is of course on a separate network from the PBX network to make sure.

    I continue my research but for the moment no way to make it work..

    Hello,

    I have never been able to retrieve the configuration from the phone itself.

    Currently the only way I have been able to configure the phone is to manually download the configuration to the PBX and then apply the configuration to the phone manually.

    2nd thing, after configuring the phone I am able to receive calls from outside and other extension.

    I am able to join extensions also it works #1

    On the other hand, making an external call via the remote extension I have no sound..

    I tested with several different phones, the call goes out well but when the communication is established no sound in both directions..

    an idea??
