How do I provision a device using one touch activation?
This is the default method for setting up your phones as it provides the most seamless experience for you.
Important: Please excuse our mess while we improve your admin experience! We are in the process of migrating all accounts to the new GoTo Admin. The article below is meant for admins who use PBX Administration (classic) at https://my.jive.com/pbx. If you're an admin who uses GoTo Admin at https://admin.goto.com, please refer to: How do I provision a device?
Before you begin: After placing your equipment order, all of the mac addresses will be loaded into the device section of your account. This may take several days. In the meantime, make sure all users are added to your account and assigned
to a device profile with the correct hardware.

User (or device) activated — Recommended for 20+ users/devices
Before you begin: Before the phones arrive, prepare your list of
dialable usernames. When the phones arrive, you or an IT can perform these steps on the devices before handing them out or you can hand out the phones to each user and have them complete the steps.
- Enter the numerical dialable username provided by your admin.
Result: Once the device has identified the user information, you will hear “Thank You” and the device will automatically update its configuration and reboot (possibly more than once). Activation can take some time depending on your device and network speed. Don’t be alarmed if your device's screen is blank during this time. When activation is finished, your configuration will reflect on the phone.
What to do next: When you have successfully activated the phone, the user’s extension(s) will appear on the display. If the phone does not automatically reboot, you can manually
power cycle the device.
