Noojee Provision echnical Details.
Noojee Provision (formally Zero Config for Asterisk) is a automated handset provisioning service for the Asterisk PBX.
Noojee Provision allows a telephone handset freshly unpacked from its cardboard box to be plugged into an office network and 60 seconds later it will be ready to make and take calls without requiring any further work.
The beauty of Noojee Provision is that it allows anyone in an organization to plug in a phone or move a phone to another location without requiring any pre-configuration of the phone nor any technical assistance.
How it works
Noojee Provision utilizes an organizations pre-existing DHCP service to allocate the phone an IP address and to instruct the phone to connect to the Noojee Provision service to obtain its configuration information.
Noojee Provision is able to detect the brand (manufacturer) of the phone and provide a manufacturer specific configuration file to control the phones operation. Detecting the brand of the phone allows Noojee Provision to operate in an office environment where phones from multiple manufacturers are used.
Noojee Provision allows ALL of the manufacturer specific features to be configured on each phone. Unlike most handset configuration services Nooje Provision does not require the pre-entry of each phones MAC address. Instead Noojee Provision is able to detect the phones MAC address and IP address during the configuration process. As part of the configuration process Noojee Provision connects to Asterisk and creates a SIP entry so that the phone can instantly register with the Asterisk PABX once the configuration process has completed.
If the phone is disconnected or reset Noojee Provision ensures that the phone is allocated the same extension number each time.
Noojee Provision ships with configuration files for a number of phone manufacturers and additional configuration files can easily be created.
