  • Filter CPE profiles by their relevance:
    • All – all available CPE profiles.
    • Inactive/Discontinued – these are administratively discontinued and/or inactive CPE profiles (making changes to a CPE profile creates a new copy of it, so the previous profile version is shown as inactive). You can’t assign these CPE profiles to devices.

    • Upcoming – the CPE profiles that you can assign to devices and that will be effective in the future.
  • Filter CPE profiles by the date when they are effective. Click Calendar 03+JmKnCXVP4hCVkE+CbrPAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC and set the date and time, or type it in the “yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm” format (2022-03-19 00:00).

Create a profile

Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) profile allows you to apply general configuration settings to all IP phones with this profile assigned.

PortaBilling creates a configuration file for an IP phone and places it on the provisioning server. A configuration file includes the specified CPE profile parameters. For example, to change the SIP server address for thousands of IP phones that are already on the customer’s premises, you can update the corresponding CPE profile. When an IP phone connects to the Internet, it retrieves its specific configuration file with the updated parameters from the provisioning server.

To create a new CPE profile, fill in the profile details, and click Save. To create more CPE profiles, click Save & Add another.
