Adding a profile

Last Updated : Jun 01, 2022 |

About this task

A profile is required for device configuration during the enrollment process. It defines a provisioning file server URL, internal certificate, and phone group. Profiles provide a common place to configure provisioning for multiple customer sites.

The profile settings are not applied to already enrolled devices.

Before you begin

  • Ensure the provisioning server is functional and contains the appropriate configuration files.

  • If you use your provisioning server with the HTTPS protocol and a private certificate authority, upload the root certificate of that certificate authority. If you use a public certificate authority, there is no need to upload a root certificate.

Procedure

  1. Click Profile Management.
  2. Click Add.
  3. Complete the Profile Name field.
  4. Click Add.
  5. In the Server Type field, select one of the following:

    • DES if the provisioning URL points to https://des.avaya.com.

    • HTTP(S) in all other scenarios.

  6. In the Provisioning URL field, enter the complete URL with the path to the directory where the settings file of the device is located.

    If you set the provisioning URL to https://des.avaya.com, upload a settings file with basic device configuration information when creating a customer account.

  7. Optional To generate the identity certificate, move the Avaya certificate generation switch to the right.

    If the provisioning server is configured for mutual authentication, you can trigger the device to install an identity certificate from Device Enrollment Services. Download and install the root certificate on your provisioning server.

  8. Optional To download the root certificate, click Avaya Devices Root CA.
  9. If you use a private Certificate Authority, in the Root CA Certificate field, click Select File and upload the root CA certificate.
  10. Enter the device or phone group number in the Phone Group (0 – 999) field.

    The phone group number is used to distinguish sets of parameters in the configuration file. For example, if the configuration file contains settings for phone groups 16 and 17, and you enter 17 in this field, the settings for group 17 are applied to the enrolled devices. The default value for this field is 0.

  11. Click the Commit icon to save your changes.
  12. Optional To add multiple provisioning URLs to the profile, click Add and repeat the above steps, starting from step 3.
  13. Click Submit to add the profile.
