The phones should be inserted by the IPBrick.I - Machines Management so the main goal of this option is to modify some specific SIP phones attributes.
Inserting a phone here is valid too if there is no need to attribute a specific IP address to the telephone and we don't want that LDAP stores information about that machine. You can add a telephone simply by filling the field relating the name and the access password to the telephone. Note that, the phone's password must comply with with the strong password policies, unless you choose to disable them at Telephony - Configurations.
Phone: Insert the name of the telephone to register;
Password: Insert the access password to the telephone;
Retype Password: Reinsert password;
Caller ID: If you want to mask the caller ID insert one;
Phone Location
Local: It's the default, for a LAN phone;
Remote: For a remote phone that is connected behind a NAT. Usually this option is used when the idea is register the phone from the Internet, using the IPBrick network public IP.
Auto provisioning: The auto provisioning option permit the automatic configuration of SIP hardphones, so here we just need to choose the phone model. To work, it's mandatory when registering the phone at Machines Management, to insert the MAC address.
Description: This field should have a text phone description;
