Setting up dozens or hundreds of desk phones used to mean copying SIP settings by hand and shipping devices from office to office. Yealink autoprovisioning with Telzio changes that. By combining Yealink’s zero-touch provisioning protocol with Telzio’s cloud PBX system, you can deploy an enterprise-grade phone system in minutes instead of days.
What is Yealink autoprovisioning?
Yealink autoprovisioning is a zero-touch method that lets administrators activate IP phones through a web interface. Rather than entering SIP credentials on every handset, you only need the phone’s MAC address. Once the device contacts Telzio’s provisioning server, it downloads its unique configuration profile and registers automatically.
How Yealink autoprovisioning works with Telzio
- Add the MAC address in the Telzio Dashboard, using the label on the back of the phone.
- Assign the user so direct lines, voicemail, and caller ID map instantly.
- Power up the phone at any location; it connects to Telzio, pulls its settings, and is ready to call.
- Manage remotely by updating softkeys, line keys, BLF indicators, SIP transport (TCP, UDP, TLS), or SIP port (5060 or 6050) in the dashboard.
Key benefits of autoprovisioning
- Faster deployment: provision hundreds of phones in bulk without local IT staff.
- Lower costs: eliminate technician visits and reduce hands-on configuration time.
- Centralized control: change button layouts or security settings for every device from a single dashboard.
- Consistent user experience: standardize templates so every phone behaves the same, even across offices.
- Flexible scaling: add new locations or remote users in minutes, ideal for hybrid teams.

Step-by-step provisioning checklist
- Collect MAC addresses for every phone you plan to deploy.
- Log in to Telzio and navigate to Devices → Add.
- Enter the MAC address and assign the device to a user.
- Choose global settings such as SIP transport, port, and BLF template.
- Plug in the phone, which self-registers in under a minute.
- Verify the line by placing a quick test call.
- Bulk-edit softkeys or line keys later using Telzio’s device-group feature.
Frequently asked questions
How does autoprovisioning improve security?
Credentials are delivered over TLS and stored centrally, so there is no need to email or manually enter SIP passwords.
What happens if a user changes their Telzio password?
The phone stays logged in. Device credentials are separate from user portal credentials, ensuring continuous service.
Can I reassign a phone to another employee?
Yes. Remap the device inside Telzio; it downloads the new profile at the next reboot.
What if port 5060 is blocked?
Switch the phone’s SIP port to 6050 in the dashboard, no phone-side changes needed.
What are softkeys?
Softkeys are the programmable buttons found along the display screen of IP phones, which provide users with quick access to functions like BLF, Transfer, Speed Dial, Page, and Intercom.
What is a line key?
A line key is a programmable button found on an IP phone that is typically configured to be used with an extension or direct phone line for incoming and outgoing calls.
What is BLF?
BLF, or busy lamp fields, are programmable buttons on IP phones that indicate whether other users are busy, typically with a flashing red light indicator.
What is MWI?
MWI (Message Waiting Indicator), or voicemail indicator, displays a blinking red light on your phone when there’s a new voicemail.
What is a MAC address?
A MAC address, or media access control address, is a unique identifier that every IP phone has, typically containing a string of numbers and letters. In addition to the username, all you need is the MAC address to register an IP phone with Telzio.
What is SIP transport?
SIP Transport is the method used for signaling between your IP phones and Telzio’s phone provisioning servers. The three SIP Transport methods are:
- TCP (Transmission Control Protocol),
- UDP (User Datagram Protocol), and
- TLS (Transport Layer Security).
While UDP typically works for most networks, Telzio enables you to easily change the SIP Transport to work with your network architecture.
What is SIP port?
SIP Port is the port used for signaling between your IP phones and Telzio’s servers. The two available ports for SIP are 5060 and 6050. Port 5060 is the standard for SIP, which all IP phones use by default. With Telzio’s auto provisioning software, you can easily switch to port 6050, if port 5060 is being blocked by the network’s firewall.
