Servers and provisioning — Your IP phones, set up remotely.

In our cloud or on your servers, the console sets up each phone and follows it live.

Where it runs

The same phone system, in the cloud or on your premises.

Three ways to install Comunik VOIP. The console and its features stay the same; only the place where the servers run changes.

  • The Comunik cloud

    Hosted in our infrastructure. No server to manage.

  • A dedicated cloud

    An isolated instance, in the country your regulations require.

  • On premises

    In your server room: internal calls stay in the building.

Plug in a phone

From the box to the first call, without touching the phone.

The phone is plugged in and asks for its configuration. The console hands it over.

  1. Profiles

    One profile per model

    A profile holds the settings shared by one model. One of them is the default for the whole sphere.

  2. Import

    The whole fleet in one paste

    A four-column CSV: MAC address, model, name, extension. The default profile applies on its own.

  3. Keys

    Each phone's keys

    BLF keys, lines and speed dials are set from the console. Key 1 stays the line.

Settings

The small settings that save a trip.

HTTPS at the office, and when working from home.

Each phone has its own transport. TFTP stays limited to the local network.

A setting changed, the phone up to date.

"Resync" sends the configuration again to one phone, or to all of them at once.

A phone that drops shows up right away.

Its connection goes offline, with the time it was last seen.

Secure TFTP

TFTP opens for an hour at most, then closes on its own.

Older phones on the local network fetch their configuration over TFTP, unencrypted. The console frames every opening.

  • A timed window

    Sixty minutes at most, with a countdown.

  • A dedicated password

    Asked at every opening, separate from your credentials.

  • Allowed ranges

    Only addresses within an active range receive a configuration.

  • An audit log

    Openings, refusals, configurations served: timestamped, with the source IP.

Inventory

Everything the phone console does.

What exists is ticked. What is missing, or switched off, is in grey.

Not yet, or switched off

Questions

What we get asked about the servers.

The answers stick to what the console does today.

Let's prepare your fleet before the phones arrive.

Send us the list of your phones: we import it with you and plug in the first one together.
