Reprovisioning a phone


Hello! I’m working through an issue here of provisioning a Mitel 6930 phone onto our RingCentral account. I’m dealing with a phone at a remote location that was previously provisioned and assigned to a user in our RingCentral account. However, today I was made aware that the phone is not working and when I checked the admin portal it does say it’s “Offline”

I’ve been troubleshooting the issue remotely since the office is about 2hrs away. It seems like the phone was previously manually configured using the following instructions:
 

1. Login to the web interface of the desktop IP phone.

2. Select "Advanced Settings" > "Configuration Server" menu option.

3. Select "HTTPS" in the field "Download Protocol".

4. Locate "HTTPS Server" field and enter mtl.ringcentral.com

5. Locate "HTTPS Path" field and enter provisioning/mitel

6. Click "Save Settings" to start provisioning the device. Wait for the phone to start rebooting or reboot it manually ("Operation" > "Reset" > "Restart").

7. After device competed reboots restart the phone again ("Operation" > "Reset" > "Restart"). Please do not power off or disconnect your device during the upgrade process.

When I logged into the phone’s WebUI, this section was already configured. On reboot, it seemed like it tried to provision itself but didn’t complete the process. I’ve followed the KB articles here and here  for manually provisioning phones and getting the SIP settings. Main issue is that since the device is already assigned to a user, it doesn’t give me an option to get the SIP settings as outlined by the “Getting the SIP settings...” article. 

I think that’s really the last piece of information I need to get the device activated. Has anyone had this issue before or know of a workaround to the SIP Auth/pw issue? 

Thanks for reading and I’d appreciate any knowledge someone has on the issue.

Hi ​@ipadagas,

Since the device is currently added to the account and assigned to a user, this indicates that the phone is assisted provisioned and we cannot use or follow the manual setup to configure the device. If it is offline, we can try to re-provision it by resetting the phone then log into the WEB UI of the phone and go to the "Configuration Server" section. Once there, enter the following and click save settings:

  • Download Protocol: HTTPS
  • HTTPS Server: mtl.ringcentral.com
  • HTTPS Path: provisioning/mitel/$DM
  • HTTPS Port: 443

Click Save Settings


If the phone remains offline, you can send me a DM with your account and contact details. I'll help you submit a trouble ticket to our support team and request to have a team member reach out to assist you in re-provisioning the device.

This worked great. Is there a reason that the /$DM works but the /6930 doesn’t? Thanks for the assist, glad to have that phone back online. Cheers!
