The Vodia PBX is able to automatically provision Cisco 3PPC devices (68xx, 78xx, and 88xx) through zero-touch LAN provisioning. This example is based on the 8841 model but will also work for Cisco phone 7800 and 6800 series.
The devices should be running sip88xx.11-0-0MPP-7.loads or the latest build available.

If the folder is not found, please create a new one )and it looks like this URL http://ip_address_server_with_files/sip88xx.11-0-0MPP-7.loads. To prevent typos you could just copy-paste the filename.Then submit the upgrade URL under Advance? Voice ?Provisioning setting field Upgrade Rule then save the changes.
