What is auto provisioning in the context of Webex Calling?

Auto provisioning in the context of Webex Calling refers to the automatic configuration of devices so that they can seamlessly work with the Webex Calling system's settings. This process simplifies the deployment of devices by eliminating the need for manual configuration, allowing the devices to automatically receive their settings and updates from the Webex Calling infrastructure once connected to the network.

This capability is particularly beneficial in large organizations where numerous devices need to be set up across various locations. By using auto provisioning, administrators can ensure consistent configurations, reduce setup time, and minimize potential errors during the installation process, since devices inherently pull their configurations directly from the network rather than requiring individual manual adjustments.

In contrast, other options relate to different aspects of network management. The manual setup of network configurations requires user intervention and does not offer the benefits of automation. Testing network connectivity is an entirely separate function focused on ensuring the network is operational rather than configuring devices. Subscribing to additional services involves additional resources that are not relevant to the initial configuration and deployment of devices.
