Old topic, but I have just been hit with this problem.
I have been using 2 110's for about a year with OBiTalk Provisioning turned OFF, as suggested when I first installed the units. Each Unit has unique speed dial requirements, as such, the Portal is unable to fulfill this service requirement (unless new accounts are created). I have since added a third 110 and need to manage it from afar.
Several issues come to mind. Can I keep the two original units disabled and the third unit enabled with OBiTalk Provisioning, and setup the Speed Dials using the portal without any impact to the other units?
Or can I in some manner, return all units to OBiTalk Provisioning enabled, and sync the changes on the units into the Provisioning server without impacting my Speed Dials and such?
For Example, would this work on the UnProvisioned units:
1) First, export my current settings to .xml files, edit them as needed (if needed) to keep my customization.
2) Enable Provisioning on the old units.
3) Import the .xml configs to put my changes back on the device and sync the server.
Or, leave Provisioning OFF on the original units, Provisioning ON for the new, and then use a .xml file to create SpeedDials for the new Provisioned unit? Will the Provision Server overwrite my .xml SpeedDials? I am not sure using the Portal for managing my SpeedDials is very efficient. (Editing an .xml file is easy)
The solution would be for ObiHai to support Speed Dials on a unit by unit basis, instead of account, then I would turn Provisioning ON for all units. And, if needed, edit all the changes for each unit from the Expert Portal (slow, cumbersome) to replace my customization efforts.
In either case, If I wanted to enable provisioning, how can I get the provisioning server in sync with my unprovisioned devices? Is there a server upload sync feature of some sorts?
Oh the web we weave.
