[Freeswitch-users] Automagic Phone Provisioning

[Brian West]

What you want is NOT possible the way you describe it.  Snom does a  
multicast PNP which lets you reply with a notify.  Polycom does a  
DHCPINFORM which lets you respond with a DHCPACK with additional  
options.  Aastra does MDNS which dictates where to go get the configs.
