This FreePBX add-on module is for provisioning phones.

• Provisioning requires:
  • TFTP Server
  • HTTP Server
  • DHCP Server
  • NMAP
• Use DHCP option 66 or configure each phone for TFTP server address
• Allow UDP ports 67:69 for DHCP and TFTP in the firewall

Prepare the TFTP folder, if necessary:

chown -R asterisk.asterisk /tftpboot
chmod 775 /tftpboot
find /tftpboot -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \;
find /tftpboot -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \;

By default, TFTP is run as read-only. Adding the -c enables file creation.

If you would like phones to be able to write their own logs to the PBX via TFTP:

vim /etc/xinetd.d/tftp

        server_args             = -vvv -c -s /tftpboot

chmod 777 /tftpboot
service xinetd restart
