When plugged in to the enterprise network, phones can automatically be provisioned through the Zero Touch feature.

The template determines which firmware file and configuration file the phone will be allocated. |
Zero Touch provisioning accelerates uptime by enabling multiple users and phones to automatically be provisioned and added to the Manager.
You can use the Setup Wizard feature to set up Zero Touch provisioning. The Wizard simplifies deployment of phones in the enterprise for admins. The Wizard's functions were already implemented in versions of Device Manager Pro earlier than Version 7.4, only now they're centralized in a single location for a friendlier deployment experience. Here are the steps to follow to provision phones using the Wizard.
