Mass Provision SIP on Mitel-Simple Solution Available?
« on: January 30, 2026, 11:24:55 AM »
The basic configuration for the phone is easy, I have done it in the lab, I know what needs to be configured, using the Yealink web portal.  I can download the basic config from the phone, and use it as a template.
What I don't have is a server that will insert the correct (simple) authentication values for each phone, by MAC.
Yealink has a remote provisioning server, but it's confusing, and when I try to configure it to auto provision the device, it ACTS like it did it, I get values in the phone that look right, but the phone gets refused by the Mitel MCD.
Has anybody ever come up with a cheap, simple way to get a defaulted phone to auto load from a local server?
Once upon a time, I did something similar with Cisco phones (and that was NO fun), but it's been 15 years ago, and I simply don't remember.
What I am trying to avoid is the time factor of having to spend 5 minutes on each phone to reconfigure (that adds up to a lot of hours!)

Thanks in advance!

Just so that I am understanding this.

You are trying to connect Yealink phones to a Mitel PABX and you want to be able to provision the phones automatically if possible using config files etc...

I'm familiar with Mitel phones but not dealt with Yealink. Although I'm sure it will be possible.

Just looking at the file, see nothing regarding a sip password request. Also would like to know if this is a tftp or http/https server, either one could be hosted on a newer system. I would assume the file name for each set would be it's mac.cfg

I use the Yealink provisioning server, from my understanding up to 1000 devices under management is free from Yealink.  It is not the most easy to understand portal and the first one tried would not allow configuration to be pushed out to device but once found the correct portal is working great. Think the first portal my boss sent me was the reseller which only allows view of devices but the full device management for me based in AUS is https://au.ymcs.yealink.com/manager/login
I use to provision phones to connect to cloud based MBG servers and if using TLS then there is an option in the phones to turn off only accept trusted certificates and then will connect to MBG using TLS.  These are primarialy Yealink DECT phones.
The only thing I have not been able to get the portal to do is overwrite the default password for Web gui login as I added these lines into configuration manually.
On the Yealink support website there is also a phone configuration generator tool that can generate a lot of config files per mac address and then these can be uploaded into the device management portal to provision to end devices.
You will need to know both the device MAC address and also the serial number, named machine ID in the portal, both are listed on the box to add devices in the portal.
I have only just started using this but so far it has been excellent, especially if need to update configurations to already connected devices that are on sites with no remote access and the ability to push out firmware updates to both fixed devices or DECT base stations and the connected handsets is gret.
