Managing extensions – Batch of endpoints
When configuring a large number of devices, this menu helps us to match the extension number, brand, model, IP address, and MAC address of each device (if supported). If the IP phones can be provisioned through the TFTP protocol, this module will create the configuration files needed to provision the devices. After a reboot, if configured properly in the DHCP service (option 69), the IP phone will download its own configuration.
How to do it…
- This feature, called the Batch of Endpoints menu, uses a CSV file that can be downloaded or uploaded to our Elastix system in order to work. The next image shows the Batch of Endpoints menu.
- The list of options (columns) that can be used in the CSV file are as follows:
- Vendor: (Manufacturer): GW (Gateway)
- Model: (Model): DNS1 (Domain Name Server 1)
- MAC: (MAC Address): Bridge (Bridge mode enabled or disabled)
- Ext: (Extensions): Time Zone
- IP:(IP Address): DNS2 (Domain Name Server 2)
- Mask: (Net Mask)
- If we click on the Process Batch of Endpoints button, the system will internally generate the configuration file specified on the CSV file and register the extension, model, and IP address on its database. Then, we need to restart all devices to force them to auto-configure.
