Assigning a group ID to a SIP phone
 

The only way I know if to assign a group ID to a SIP phone is locally via the craft menu. Does anyone know a way to do it via the DHCP 242 option set or in settings file by subnet?

We've launched a number of small locations with SIP phones. It requires us to send out a tech to set the group ID on the phone so we can assign specific 46xxsettings file options.We would like to make the sites more of a self deploy. Ship phones to the location and only require the people there to plug them in.

If anyone has any thoughts, please feel free to share.

Thank you

You could set it in the station form on page 3: IP Phone group ID.. You could do a CM import to set the group for a bunch of phones. I've not been able to find how to using subnet in a settings file... it would be pretty cool if you could. I also don't know if you can use DHCP to set it...

Good luck!!

Lolz.. I just noticed this question was from 2016.. I guess I'm a bit late to the party... :p

Setting the Group ID on CM only applies to H.323 phone. SIP don't pull any configs from CM.
