2. Extension values
Enter values into the required field text boxes.
REQUIRED FIELDS:
Enter a name for the extension being created. Example: John Smith.
Enter the e-mail address associated with this extension. This e-mail address will receive all system notification messages. Example: john.smith@bicomsystems.com
OPTIONAL FIELDS
An auto-generated extension number based on the next available sequential number. An extension value can be changed. Example: 1003.
A secret value associated with the UAD is auto-generated in order to allow the UAD to successfully register with the system. The secret value can be changed, however it is STRONGLY recommended not to change the system generated value to a simple value like "1234" or "1003" etc.
An auto-generated PIN will allow access to voicemail and online self-care.

This chapter describes how to register Cisco SPA phone using DHCP, TFTP, HTTP & HTTPS or DNS SRV.
The following topics are covered:
- DHCP
- TFTP or HTTP & HTTPS
- DNS SRV
1. Configure DHCP
2. Phone first boot or user initiated reboot
Auto provisioning process will start during phone first boot or after reboot process has been initiated by user. DHCP server will instruct the phone where from to pickup appropriate configuration file. If everything is done as above described, you should have successfully registered your phone to PBXware. Dial *123 to verify registration.
1. Login to phone web administration interface
If there is no DHCP in your network, you can still auto provision your Cisco SPA phone. Please refer to your Cisco SPA phone model User Guide for instruction about setting static IP address. After you configure your Cisco SPA phone to use a static IP address, continue with the following steps.
- Example for Hostname: tftp://voip.bicomsystems.com/$MA.cfg
- Example for IP Address: tftp://192.168.1.10/$MA.cfg
This chapter describes how to use HTTP & HTTPS protocols in order to register Cisco SPA phone.
NOTE: Your PBXware needs to be configured correctly for HTTP to work. Please make sure that HTTP username and HTTP passwords are set in Auto provisioning section in Settings -> Servers/Tenants -> Server/Tenant name [edit]. Contact your PBXware administrator. Bicom Systems can provide service to set up this for you.
- Example for Hostname using HTTP: [--uid http-username --pwd http-password][**http://voip.bicomsystems.com/prov/MA.cfg)
- Example for Hostname using HTTPS: [--uid http-username --pwd http-password][**https://voip.bicomsystems.com/prov/MA.cfg)
