# Cisco - General Information

### ![File:Cisco logo blue 2016.svg - Wikimedia Commons](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQlzL7VwdzRw64nLVJqZV63_4Bt2LUeTTxaKw&s)

### Provisionable Devices

The below devices are provisionable

- SPA500 series phones
- 6800, 7800, 8800 series MPP firmware phones. Read ["Convert between Enterprise Firmware and Multiplatform Firmware..."](https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/collaboration-endpoints/unified-ip-phone-7800-series/guide-c07-742786.html) for more information

**WARNING -** domains with an underscore ("\_") in the name will not register (tested with SPA509g firmware)

### Become a Cisco Partner

Visit this page, ["Become a Cisco Partner"](https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/partners/become-a-partner.html). 

### Provisioning URL

The following methods can be used to get phones pointed to the Endpoints Module:

**Note -** The Luminate Provisioning Tool only works on phones with MPP firmware.

1. The Luminate Provisioning Tool can be used to provision Cisco devices remotely via factory reset ([See here for a guide](https://documentation.luminatewholesale.com/luminate-provisioning-tool-guide?hsLang=en))
2. Web Interface - set provisioning server to http://\<EndpointsFQDN\>/cfg/spa$MA.cfg
3. DHCP options
4. Customer Device Activation (formerly known as EDOS), read ["How does Customer Device Activation (CDA) (Formerly known as EDOS) work and how-to setup?"](https://community.cisco.com/t5/collaboration-knowledge-base/how-does-customer-device-activation-cda-formerly-known-as-edos/ta-p/3985978)

Note: Cisco SPA devices only accept HTTPS provisioning with certs signed by their own CA, so we recommend only using HTTP provisioning with them.

### Defaults and Overrides

When you see the XML configuration examples you'll see something similar to this: \<Parameter ua="na"\>value\</Parameter\>

Overrides are always formatted like **Parameter="Value"**, ignore the ua="na", and Endpoints will convert to the appropriate XML formatting.

For parameters with an index like \<Dial\_Plan\_1\_ ua="na"\> the parameter is actually **Dial\_Plan\[1\]**.

Note these devices will pull defaults from the Linksys and not from the Cisco defaults as they use LinksysXML code structure.

### BLF and Directory

BLF and directory are configured via the Builder.

You may need to add the below override to get the phone to power sidecars.

```
PoE_Power_Required="Maximum"
```

### Shared Line Appearance (SLA)

SLA can be provisioned but has not been extensively tested.

### Geo-Redundancy

Cisco phones are provisioned with SRV geo-redundancy when applicable. 

### Transport

UDP, TCP, and TLS transport can be selected. TLS transport selection does not automatically load certs to the configuration. 

### Support

Access support for Cisco phones at, [https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/small-business/support-resources.html](https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/small-business/support-resources.html)
