1. Introduction

Please note: 8xx including all models:
UC802/ UC802T/ UC803/ UC803T/ UC804/ UC804T/ UC804G/ UC806/ UC806T/ UC806G/ UC840/ UC842/ UC860/ UC862
Htek IP Phone could be plugged directly into an IP network and be used without any manual configuration.
This guide provides instructions on how to provision Htek IP Phone with the minimum settings. Htek IP Phone supports FTP, TFTP, HTTP, and HTTPS for auto provisioning and are configured by default to use the HTTP.
This guide is a basic guidance for provisioning on Htek IP phones, including the models: Htek UC802/ UC802T/ UC803/ UC803T/ UC804/ UC804T/ UC804G/ UC806/ UC806T/ UC806G/ UC840/ UC842/ UC860/ UC862
Note: The auto provision just applies to FW 1.0.3.70 or FW after 1.0.3.70. For the latest FW, please download from our website www.htek.com.

2. Manage Configuration

Htek IP Phone could be configured via Web Interface and via Configuration File that download through TFTP/FTP/HTTP/HTTPS. All devices support a configuration file in proprietary binary format. Products like UC8xx, Unicorn3xxx and Unicorn6xxx accept configuration files in XML format in legacy proprietary binary format. The XML provisioning implementation also allows generic XML configuration file on top of the MAC based configuration file.
When Htek IP Phone boots up or reboots, it will issue a request for these configuration files named "factory000x.bin" --> "cfg000x.xml" -->"cfgMAC" --> "cfgMAC.xml", in which "000x" is the Device Code. Take UC862 For example, the configuration file name should
be factory0000.xml. You can refer to the <<Device Type and file list>>. This "MAC" is
the device Mac address, for example "cfg001fc10608ab". The configuration file name should be in lower case. The file "cfgMAC" is a proprietary binary format configuration file that must be generated by Htek configuration tools.
Device type, Device code and file list:

Process of Htek products are as follows:
factory000x.bin -----used for factory default configuration for ODM/OEM
cfg000x.xml ----- used for update the common configuration which doesn't include the account information.
cfg001fc1xxxxxx ---- this file is a private format for each device
cfg001fc1xxxxxx.xml------used for configuration for each device . xml format
Provisioning Flow Chart:

Note: The provisioning program will apply and reload the settings after downloading the new configuration files. It means that a provision/re-direction server can redirect the device to a provision server without reboot. It can also be used to send the XML encryption password.
If factory000x.bin file does not download successfully, the provision program will download the cfg000x.xml file, or download the cfgMAC file. If the cfgMAC file does not download successfully, the provision program will download the cfgMAC.xml file.

2.1 Obtain configuration files

Before provisioning, first you need to obtain the configuration file. There are three CFG template files, cfg000x.xml , cfg$mac and cfgMAC.xml. The cfg000x.xml is a common configuration file which doesn't include the account information. The "mac" only takes effect for specific phone. The file name is the 12-digit mac address of phone. For example, if the phone's mac address is 001fc11a0012, the cfg$mac file name must be cfg001fc11a0012; The cfgMAC.xml file name must be cfg001fc11a0012.xml.
The phone will try to download these CFG files from the server during provisioning.
Note: The IP Phones that in FW 1.0.3.70 or FW after 1.0.3.70 would only recognize CFG files which use UTF-8 or ANSI encoding.

2.2 Obtain phone information

Before provisioning, you need the phone information, like MAC address, SIP account of the phone.
MAC Address: The unique 12-digit serial number of the phone. You can obtain it from the back of the phone.
SIP Account Information: It may include SIP credentials, like user name, password and IP address of the SIP server. Contact your system administrator for SIP account information.

2.3 Manage configuration files

Auto provision enables Htek IP Phone to update automatically via downloading configuration files. Before provisioning, you may need to edit and customize your configuration file which is composed of many configuration parameters. A configuration parameter is associated with particular field in the web configuration page. A parameter consists of a Capital letter P and 2 to 5 digit numeric numbers. i.e., P2 is associated with "Admin Password" in the Advanced Page. For detailed parameter list, please refer to <<parameter list>> in page 77.

2.4 How to edit cfg000x.xml file

You can customize configuration parameters by editing XML configuration file "cfg000x.xml", and different device would use different file name. you can refer to << How to Edit cfg000x.xml>> in page 39.

2.5 How to edit cfg$mac file

Cfg$mac file is a binary format configuration. It contains configuration parameters which apply to all phone models.
The line beginning with "#" is considered to be the annotation, and easy to understand each P value.
The parameters commonly edited in the cfg$mac file are described as follows:

We offer free Configuration File generator software in both Linux/Unix and Windows platform.

You can refer to << Generate Configuration Files with HPT >> in page 44.

2.6 How to edit cfgMAC.xml file

General XML syntax consists of a list of name-value pairs. P-Value is the element and value of the element represents the value for a particular configuration which P-Value represents corresponding.
Method 1:
You need to download cfg.xml file from IP Phone webpage(Management->Configuration ->Download xml file) or download this cfgMAC.xml file from website www.htek.com, then change the file name to cfgMAC.xml(mac is IP Phone address), and open the cfgMAC.xml, See the below screen shot:

The parameters edited in the cfgMAC.xml file are described as follows:

You can edit the value in <> </>field.
For example: The phone's SIP Server is 192.168.0.100, you need to edit the <P47 para="Account1.Sipserver">192.168.0.100</P47>.
If you want to configure others, for example: 

, you need to change it as

, only in this way you can change the value.
Method 2:
Login phone webpage, configure each item you want (like, account information, programmable keys, firmware upgrade path...). Management ->Configuration, download XML file, then change the name to cfgMAC.xml.

3. Encrypt Configuration Files

Htek Configuration Generator allows user to encrypt the generated configuration file with AES 128 bit encryption. It allows user to choose not to encrypt the configuration file in Windows version, but it is recommended to use encryption for security reason.

3.1 How to encrypt the XML configuration file

The XML configuration file could be encrypted in AES-128-CBC algorithm. The encryption password is defined in P8631 (Management->Auto Provision->Set Common AES Key ) of the configuration file.

The Password length is from 1-16, and password must be[ 0-9, A-F]
THE SHARED IV:: 0B1E1D000F0B07091D1F04071F1E0407
The OpenSSL command-line to encrypt the file is as follows:
Openssl enc –e –aes-128-cbc –K <password>  -iv 0B1E1D000F0B07091D1F04071F1E0407 –in cfg.xml –out cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml
When the XML configuration file is encrypted in this method, Phone would only be able to decrypt and parse the file if user set the XML Config File Password in P8631 of binary configuration file or in the web UI.
Detailed steps:
Step 1: Login webpage, click Management→Configuration, download cfg.xml file, then run, input ”Openssl enc –e –aes-128-cbc –K <password> -iv 0B1E1D000F0B07091D1F04071F1E0407 –in cfg.xml –out Cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml” (xxxxxxxxxxxx is the MAC address)

THE SHARED IV: 0B1E1D000F0B07091D1F04071F1E0407
Step 2: Put the Cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml under upgrade server path
Step 3: You must set the AES Key: Management→Auto Provision: AES Key:
