Provisioning
Auto-provisioning
W-PA SIP Paging Gateway can be auto-provisioned in case it is connected to the local LAN or remote network via VPN.
Please refer to the Provisioning of Wildix devices Guide for detailed information.
Semi-automatic provisioning
Semi-automatic provisioning is used for remote/unreachable devices behind NAT/Firewall:
- Go to WMS -> Devices
- Click Add
- Enter MAC address of the device (you can find it on the device label or check it in W-PA web interface -> System -> Information -> Network -> MAC)
- Click Next. You will be forwarded to the provisioning window with the device information (MAC, Type and Provisioning URL)
- Click Finish
...
- port
| Note |
|---|
Note: When connecting the W-PA to the local LAN, W-PA should pick up a local IP address (W-PA is set by Default to DHCP). If the device is returning an IP address of 192.168.1.128 after connected to the local LAN (you can check the assigned IP address by pressing and holding the + Volume button for 2 sec), the W-PA seems to be stuck on a Static IP address. If this happened, assign IP address of 192.168.1.130 on the local PC and browse to 192.168.1.128. If presented with Login screen, use the First time login credentials (admin/ admin) to login to the W-PA and change the Network Settings from Static (192.168.1.128) to DHCP, save the changes and reboot the device. After the reboot, the W-PA should return a local IP address, when checked. If when trying to browse to the W-PA, the WEB connection is refused (you never get to Login Screen), then create an RMA. |
Provisioning of W-PA
Wildix supports different provisioning modes:
- WMP provisioning: (the simplest mode) can be applied also for Cloud PBX and for connecting remote devices (assign devices to the PBX from the Portal)
- Auto-provisining: for local devices (cannot be used for Cloud PBX and for remote devices behind NAT / Firewall)
- Remote provisioning: this mode can be used for Cloud PBXs and for connecting remote devices behind NAT / Firewall
WMP or Auto-provisioning: refer to the chapter WMP Provisioning and Auto-Provisioning of the guide Provisioning of Wildix devices.
Remote provisioning: refer to the chapter W-PA provisioning of the guide Remote provisioning of Wildix devices.
