Introducing the ET635 9 Back to Contents
ET635 Administrator and Provisioning Manual
About the ET635 Deskset
The VTech ET635 SIP Deskset is a business phone designed to work with popular SIP
telephone (IP PBX) equipment and services. Once you have ordered and configured your
SIP equipment or service, the ET635 enables you to make and receive calls as you would
with any other business phone.
The ET635 Deskset features include:
Support for 12 SIP lines/accounts8
Dual Ethernet ports, GigE
USB port
Power over Ethernet (PoE) support (AC adapter optional)
2.8-inch 320 x 240 pixels (w x h) color LCD display
4 configurable soft keys
8 programmable SmartLabel keys with multi-color LEDs
4-way navigational pad
Zero touch provisioning
RJ9 headset port
RJ12 EHS port
Sensor hook switch
HD Voice for receiver and speakerphone
Full-duplex base speakerphone
Message waiting LED indicator
Local phonebook up to 1,000 entries
Call history up to 100 entries
There are two network ports, known as the Ethernet port and PC port, at the back of the
ET635. The Ethernet port allows the ET635 Deskset to connect to the IP PBX. The PC port
is for another device such as a personal computer to connect to the Ethernet network
through the ET635.
You can configure the ET635 using the menus on the phone, a browser-based interface
called the WebUI, or an automatic provisioning process (see “Auto Provisioning” on
page 15). The WebUI enables you to configure the ET635 using a computer that is
connected to the same Local Area Network. The WebUI resides on the ET635, and may
get updated with firmware updates.

Provisioning 14 Back to Contents
ET635 Administrator and Provisioning Manual
CHAPTER 2
PROVISIONING
Provisioning refers to the process of acquiring and applying new settings for the ET635
using configuration files retrieved from a remote computer. After a ET635 is deployed,
subsequent provisioning can update the ET635 with new settings; for example, if your
service provider releases new features.
With automatic provisioning, you enable the ET635 to get its settings automatically—the
process occurs in the background as part of routine system operation. Automatic
provisioning can apply to multiple devices simultaneously.
With Manual Software Update on the WebUI, you update the ET635 settings (configuration
and/or firmware) yourself via Setup > Software Update.
This chapter covers
“Auto Provisioning” on page 15
“Manual Software Update” on page 52
Provisioning 15 Back to Contents
ET635 Administrator and Provisioning Manual
Auto Provisioning
Auto Provisioning (Mass deployment) enables remote administration (configuration and
maintenance) of the ET635 deskset.
Auto Provisioning is particularly useful for out-of-the-box scenarios in larger phone
installations.
Auto Provisioning can be used to provide general and specific configuration parameters
(Settings) to the phones and to manage firmware actualization.
Requirements
Auto Provisioning requires a central setting (or provisioning) server.The Auto Provisioning
Server stores the Auto Provisioning Configuration Files and provides them on request to
the phones. Firmware images may also be stored here.
The following setting server types/protocols can be used for provisioning of configuration
parameters and firmware images: TFTP Server, HTTP Server, and HTTPS Server.
Selected Configuration parameters can be stored in configuration files (phone type/MAC
address based) or can be created on request by means of script files (MAC address
based). See “Configuration File Types” on page 24. The location of these files is defined in
the parameter setting_server.
Please check the Bootup Process in order to select the appropriate auto provisioning
method. See “Bootup Process” on page 23.
Saving Configuration Files
You can save a sample configuration file from your phone using the WebUI interface.
1. Open the ET635 WebUI interface, and open the Settings page.
2. To save the settings, click the link for the file format you want.
The first link will save the settings in ASCII format.
Provisioning 16 Back to Contents
ET635 Administrator and Provisioning Manual
NOTE: VTech recommends that you only work with XML format when saving
configuration files.
You can now make copies of the settings file, and edit them as required for auto
provisioning.
Scenarios
Depending on the installation environment, the following scenarios can be applied to
provide the setting (provisioning) URL to the phones:
1. DHCP Option 66/67 - see page 16.
The DHCP Server in the LAN may send the provisioning URL via Option 66/67.
2. Plug & Play - see page 19.
Any SIP Server in the LAN may send the provisioning URL by replying to SIP SUB-
SCRIBE Broadcast messages.
3. Automatic Redirection Service - see page page 20.
VTech’s public provisioning server will be contacted automatically and may redirect
MAC address based provisioning requests to any other server.
4. TR-069 Provisioning - see page page 21.
Either scenario 1/2/3 can be used to enable the phone for TR-69 Provisioning.
DHCP Option 66/67
This configuration method requires the following components:
DHCP Server
ONE DHCP Server per LAN supporting DHCP Option(s) 66 or/and 67.
See “DHCP Options” on page 17.
Auto Provisioning Server
Configuration files
See “Configuration File Types” on page 24.
VTech VOIP Phone Configuration
The DHCP Server must be configured with additional DHCP Options containing the URL of
the Auto Provisioning Server to the VTech VoIP phones on boot-up. The phones will then
request their configuration parameters from the Auto Provisioning Server which will result
in a ready-to-use phone setup without manual configuration.

ET635 Administrator and Provisioning Manual
DHCP Options
Option 66 (TFTP server name)
This option is used to identify a TFTP server when the 'sname' field in the DHCP header
has been used for DHCP options. The code for this option is 66, and its minimum length is
1.
VALIDVALUE
<protocol> : // <IP address> or <domain> e.g. http://10.0.0.2,
https://provisioning.company.com
<IP address> or <domain> e.g. 10.0.0.2, provisioning.company.com
where <protocol> = server type/protocol
where <IP address> = server IP address
where <domain> = server domain name
NOTE: Without specifying the <protocol> the firmware will attempt all supported server
protocol types consecutively:
1. tftp://...
2. http://...
3. https://...
Configuration Parameter: update_server
Option 67 (Bootfile name)
This option is used to identify a bootfile when the 'file' field in the DHCP header has been
used for DHCP options. The code for this option is 67, and its minimum length is 1.
Provisioning 18 Back to Contents
ET635 Administrator and Provisioning Manual
VALIDVALUE
<path> e.g. settingfiles/vtech/VTechET635.cfg, settingfiles/vtech/ VTechET635.htm,
settingfiles/vtech/VTechET635.xml
<empty> or <not used>
where <path> = path to the location of the setting file/script file
NOTE: If this option is empty or not specified at all the firmware automatically requests the
following setting files, except the whole URL is encoded in option 66:
all ET635 phones request --> http://<domain>/VTechET635.htm
Configuration Parameter: update_filename
Option 43 (vendor-encapsulated-options)
Encapsulated Option 66, Option 67, Option 132, and Option 133 are supported.
Encapsulated DHCP options, for encoding see RFC 2132 Section 2. DHCP Option Field
Format; One can tunnel vendor specific DHCP options depending on the vendor-id (option
60) send before from the phone to the DHCP server. Vendor specific DHCP options may
be provided encapsulated in option 43, see RFC 2132 Section 8.4. Vendor Specific
Information. Values of options like 66/67/132/133, which are tunneled via option 43, take
precedence over direct options 66/67/132/133.
VALIDVALUE (Examples)
linux dhcpd3 syntax:
option vendor-encapsulated-options
42:0c:68:74:74:70:3a:2f:2f:74:65:73:74:00:43:12:73:6e:6f:6d:2f:73:65:74:74:6
9:6e:67:73:2e:70:68:70:00;
Which means tunnel opt 66 http://test and opt 67 vtech/settings.php via opt 43.
option vendor-encapsulated-options
84:02:33:00;
Which means tunnel opt 132 value 3 via opt 43.
option vendor-encapsulated-options
84:04:31:31:34:00:85:02:35:00;
Which means tunnel opt 132 value 114 and opt 133 value 5 via opt 43.
Option 60 (Vendor class identifier)
This option is used by DHCP clients to optionally identify the vendor type and configuration
of a DHCP client. The information is a string of n octets, interpreted by servers. Vendors
may choose to define specific vendor class identifiers to convey particular configuration or
other identification information about a client. For example, the identifier may encode the
client's hardware configuration. Servers not equipped to interpret the class-specific
Provisioning 19 Back to Contents
ET635 Administrator and Provisioning Manual
information sent by a client MUST ignore it (although it may be reported). Servers that
respond SHOULD only use option 43 to return the vendor-specific information to the client.
The code for this option is 60, and its minimum length is 1.
The phone sends its type (i.e. VTechET635) via this option to the DHCP server.
NOTE: Vendor class identifier for VTech ET635: VTechET635
Plug & Play
Plug & Play (PnP) provides a proprietory method to enable Auto Provisioning on all VTech
VoIP phones. By default (Parameter pnp config = on) the phones send SIP SUBSCRIBES
messages to a multicast address. Any SIP server understanding that message may reply
with a SIP NOTIFY message containing the Auto Provisioning Server URL where the
phones can request their configuration from.
SIP Flow
ET635 phones send on boot-up a SIP SUBSCRIBE message to a multicast address:
