The new self-provisioning features in Cisco Unified Communications Manager 10.0, allows you to connect your phones and TelePresence devices to your Cisco dCloud router, and then provision them right from the device. The devices are registered automatically, given a temporary extension, and then all you need to do is update the device with the desired extension and it is fully provisioned for that user.

This new feature can be used with Cisco IP Phones and TelePresence systems.

Cisco IP Phones

1. Connect your phone to the Cisco dCloud router and wait for it to provision with the temporary extension 11xx.
2. Dial 1111 from the registered phone.The self-provisioning IVR greeting plays and asks you to enter the Self-Provisioning ID, which is the four-digit extension number of the user assigned to this phone, followed by the # sign.
3. After entering the Self-Provisioning ID, the IVR asks you to confirm this ID by pressing the # sign. Press # to confirm.
4. The IVR then says, “This phone will now reset and provision with the new extension”.
5. Once the phone has reset, confirm the correct extension is showing in the display.
6. Repeat these steps to provision each additional phone for the demonstration.
