SIP Provisioning Server

IP office phones and other SIP-based communication devices offer unparalleled flexibility and value. However, broad adoption creates significant provisioning and support challenges for your support staff.

MetaView SIP Provisioning Server™ offers a revolutionary new multi-tiered approach to the management of SIP end-user devices. It significantly accelerates device registration and deployment while preserving the best practices that are critical to your network's operation across all parties and all devices. In conjunction with CommPortal Phone Configurator, it delivers unparalleled ease of management for you, combined with simplified device configuration and customization for your business subscribers.

MetaView SIP Provisioning Server streamlines provisioning, enabling simpler, more cost-effective and scalable operations via your MetaView Explorer (NMS client) and optional bar code scanner (for device MAC address scanning).

Key Benefits To Your Successful Business Offering

The key to a successful deployment of SIP devices, SIP Provisioning Server enables you to

• set up phones extremely rapidly, and with no duplication of existing provisioning data, affording subscribers plug-and-play functionality
• reduce costs by eliminating engineer involvement with enterprise installations of individual telephones (either onsite, or over the phone)
• easily deploy IP Centrex services, without having to manually configure SIP business phone handset
• simplify roll-out and support of advanced phone features.

SIP Provisioning Server is seamlessly integrated with CommPortal Phone Configurator to

• deliver a robust end-to-end solution by rolling out automatic phone firmware updates, and preventing users from inadvertently changing important settings
• delegate the day-to-day administration of most phone features and settings to SMB employees (administrators or end-users) through a powerful but intuitive web interface
• create a tiered service offering, allowing both low cost basic packages and advanced options for more demanding customers.

Reseller User Interface

Your ability to effectively leverage resellers can greatly enhance the success of your VoIP service. MetaView SIP Provisioning Server enables you to more rapidly scale up an effective reseller based business offering. It allows you to provide your resellers with a simple-to-use, web-based interface as a subset of your own provisioning and management tools. This creates a streamlined workflow between you and your resellers, ensuring accuracy and reducing duplication of work. The Reseller User Interface allows your resellers to

• add new phones (by supplying MAC address and phone model information)
• assign phones to a business group (by entering the business group name), or to a subscriber (by entering the subscriber's directory number)
• delete phones.

Even greater speed and accuracy is available through an integrated bar code scanner.
