Do you know if this applies to all of the sipura based ATAs? 3102, etc... Are 
the XML files compatible? I too would also like to auto provision my Sipuras. 
Only reason I'm using those instead of the PAP2's is T38... although I have yet 
to have to actually use T38.

Subject: Re: [on-asterisk] Help with auto provisioning on Linksys PAP2T ATA

To access the Provisioning settings of the PAP2T, use ****110# to find its IP 
address, then go to the web interface, click Admin Login on the right then 
click Switch to Advanced view in the middle. Now you should see the 
Provisioning tab (see this for what the web page should look
like: http://voipfan.net/emulators/pap2t/admin/advanced/)
The Profile Rule setting from that page specifies the URL for your provisioning 
server. You can point it to a web server or a TFTP server. Also, you can 
specify an encryption key for the configuration file. Usually, most people use 
a token like $MA in the URL, which the adapter will replace with its own MAC 
address.
As for the DHCP option 66: that can be used as well, if your provisioning 
server is located in the same LAN as your VoIP adapter(s). If I'm not 
mistaking, the PAP2 and PAP2T will look for a TFTP server using that DHCP 
option, and then they will ask for the file init.cfg from the root of the TFTP 
server. That init.cfg could have the whole configuration (but then if you have 
multiple ATAs they will all use the same configuration file), or you can use 
the init.cfg to point the adapter's provisioning to another server/URL. For 
example, my init.cfg is a simple XML that looks like this:

<flat-profile>
<Profile_Rule ua="na">http://sipconfig.anotherserver.net/$MA.xml</Profile_Rule>
</flat-profile>

This way, any factory reset adapter that connects to my LAN will grab that file 
automatically and set its provisioning URL to 
"http://sipconfig.anotherserver.net/$MA.xml";. From there, I can use separate 
configuration files based on the MAC address of the adapter.

To see what the configuration file would look like, I recommend downloading the 
SPC tool from 
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/voicesw/ps6790/gatecont/ps10024/ps10029/PAP2T_Firmware.zip
You can use it to generate a sample configuration file for you, then customize 
that file to your needs. Just a friendly notice that due to the huge number of 
options that you can change in the Linksys ATAs, the sample XML can look a 
little scary. If you want a trimmed down version of the config file, have a 
look at the one I am using http://voipfan.net/files/sample.xml

Last, here's a good admin guide for the Linksys / Sipura adapters. It has lots 
of info on provisioning too:
