With the 98xx models being the go-forward Cisco phone model, and Asterisk support explicitly listed in their specification on the website I am wondering where any documentation might be for bulk provisioning these phones when in 3PCC mode - instead of logging in to each phone's webinterface one at a time.
There is a sample XML file for 3PCC here:
Cisco IP Phone 8800 Series and Cisco IP Conference Phone 8832 Multiplatform Phones Provisioning Guide - Sample Configuration Profiles [Cisco IP Phone 8800 Series with Multiplatform Firmware] - Cisco
but nothing like this exists for the 98xx phones. In fact here's a recent complaint on this:
9841-DP MPP: accurate XML reference guide? - Cisco Community
with no responses. The online webex support site for these new phones is horrendous, it's simplified to silliness and there is no complete xml file anywhere on it.
Is the xml config file pretty much the same as for the 88xx 3PCC phone?
