Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) profile allows you to apply general configuration settings, such as preferred codecs and the SIP server address, etc., to all IP phones with this profile assigned.
PortaBilling creates a configuration file for an IP phone and places it on the provisioning server. A configuration file includes the specified CPE profile parameters. For example, to change the SIP server address for thousands of IP phones that are already on the customer’s premises, you can update the corresponding CPE profile. When an IP phone connects to the Internet, it retrieves its specific configuration file with the updated parameters from the provisioning server.
To add a new CPE profile, click + Profile and fill in the details. To save the CPE profile, click Save. To open a profile edit page, click Save & Edit. To create more CPE profiles, click Save & Add a copy.
