General Description

• EDS (Easy Deployment Server) is a deployment server that provides the possibility for ALE SIP devices to connect to the provisioning server or get pre-configured.
• It has a web-based interface for the user to manage corresponding functionality.
• Besides using EDS as a direct deployment server to make ALE devices get pre-configured, the user needs to input the provision server address for the device to connect to 3rd provision server.
• If the server is SSL/TLS-based, a certificate is also needed.
• The MAC address of the SIP device is associated with the provisioning server address and certificate.
• When the SIP devices connect to the EDS server, they can acquire provision server information from it and download the config files from the provision server automatically.
• For more details about pre-configure functionality, please find the EDS Enterprise Administration Manual.
