Provisioning Cisco 8800 3PCC Series phone

Published on:

January 2, 2020

The Vodia PBX enables easy provisioning for Cisco 8800 3PCC Series phones, including models from the 68xx, 78xx, and 88xx series, through zero-touch LAN provisioning. Start by updating the device firmware, setting the upgrade URL in the phone's settings and performing a factory reset (if needed). Within the Vodia PBX, administrators can pre-configure authentication details to streamline the setup for phones on the same network. For remote setups, a provisioning URL can be entered into the phone's web interface, allowing it to auto-configure without rebooting. This approach supports straightforward deployment for both on-site and remote Cisco devices, minimizing manual input and maximizing ease of integration.

The Vodia PBX is able to automatically provision Cisco 3PPC devices (68xx, 78xx and 88xx) through zero-touch LAN provisioning. This example is based on the 8841 model, but it will also work for Cisco phone 7800 and 6800 series.

The devices should be running sip88xx.11-0-0MPP-7.loads or the latest build available.

Upgrading Your Phone

Make sure you host the firmware with an HTTP server or TFTP server and it looks like this URL: 

http://ip_address_server_with_files/sip88xx.11-0-0MPP-7.loads. To prevent typos you could just copy-paste the filename, then submit the upgrade URL under Advance → Voice Provisioning setting field Upgrade Rule, then save the changes.

Resetting Your Cisco 3PCC Series Phone

  • Unplug the power adapter
  • Wait 5 seconds
  • Press and hold # and plug the phone back in.
  • When the Headset and Speaker buttons are lit, release # and enter the following key sequence: 123456789*0#

Provisioning

When provisioning a Cisco 3PPC desktop phone you should first set the required settings on the Vodia PBX as shown in provisioning document Steps Before Provisioning.

The Authentication user, Authentication password and Authentication PIN settings enable administrators to use identical usernames and passwords for all devices in a particular domain, simplifying the authentication process from the GUI of the phone when the phone is provisioned to the Vodia PBX.

Remote provisioning

If you choose to use the web interface, log in to the web interface of the phone and, according to the model, navigate to the page where you can enter the provisioning server address. In models SPA504G and SPA525Gthe setting is called Profile Rule (found on page "Admin" -> "Advanced" provisioning). In other models, it could be on another page that needs to be found from the documentation of the respective model.

In Profile Rule, the setting, add this URL: http://PBXIP/csc$MA.cfg

where the PBX IP is the IP or resolvable domain of the PBX server. The phone will auto-provision without having to reboot it.
