Scheduled Provisioning Notes
Some notes about scheduled provisioning profiles and the scheduled
provisioning of endpoints:
• Each page in the scheduled Provisioning Fields dialog box has a
Provision This Page option. When this option is selected, the system
provisions all of the values on that page. When this option is not selected,
the system does not provision any of the values on that page. At least one
page must be provisioned, or the system returns an error stating, “No data
to save in profile. Either press Cancel or add pages.”
• Until the CMA system successfully provisions an endpoint scheduled for
provisioning, provisioning remains in the Pending state and the system
attempts to provision the endpoint until it succeeds or until the
provisioning is cancelled.
• If an endpoint scheduled for provisioning is In a Call, the system waits
until the call ends before provisioning the endpoint. The system checks the
endpoint at 15 minute intervals.
• If an endpoint scheduled for provisioning is Offline, the system attempts
to connect to it at 60 minute intervals until the endpoint is Online.
• Provisioning may reboot the endpoint
• You can schedule provisioning for an unlimited number of endpoints, but
the system may limit the number of active provisioning processes
Endpoint Gatekeeper Registration Policies
If the CMA system gatekeeper registration policy allows endpoints to register
automatically (that is, a primary gatekeeper setting of Allow Registration of
All Endpoints, Allow Registration of Endpoints in Defined Sites, or Allow
Registration of Endpoints with Defined E.164 Prefixes), those registered
endpoints are automatically added to the endpoint list.
If the CMA gatekeeper registration policy does not allow endpoints to register
automatically (that is, a gatekeeper setting of Allow Registration of
Predefined Endpoints Only), you must manually add all endpoints to the
CMA system.
No matter what the gatekeeper registration policy, any endpoint that is
automatically provisioned, any endpoint that is registered with the Global
Address Book, and any endpoint that is added manually to the CMA system
can automatically register with the gatekeeper. For more information, see
“Device Registration” on page 396.
Note
You can manually add endpoints to the CMA system for monitoring purposes only.
