Note: Provisioning from a spreadsheet will configure the extension automatically.
Spreadsheets should not contain extension numbers for any existing extensions. If
an existing extension number is present on the spreadsheet, it will be deleted and
replaced by a new extension of the same number, featruing the configurations of the
spreadsheet entry.
Note: If a handset in the spreadsheet already exists on the Com.X (identified by
MAC address) the handset will be updated with the settings from the spreadsheet.

3.5.2 Adding a Managed SIP phone from a VLAN interface
For a variety of security and performance reasons, it may be desireable to host SIP
handsets on a virtual LAN.
In order to configure a managed SIP device to reside on a VLAN, a VLAN interface
needs be configured as in Section 3.2.5.1.
In order for the DHCP server on the VLAN interface to provide DHCP to the handset,
the phone needs first to be configured to connect to the VLAN. This can be easily
achieved by configuring DHCP server on both the physical interface and the VLAN,
as per Section 3.2.2.3.
Connect your handset to the physical LAN port (most likely through a switch) and
power up the phone.
Ensure that auto-detection of hardware is enabled, and add the handset from
deteced devices, as in Section 3.4.3.
On booting, the phone will initially receive a DHCP adddress from the DHCP server
on the physical LAN interface. Click accept, but do not apply.
Before applying the configuration of the handset, edit the associated LAN interface
and select the VLAN interface from the drop down list. Accept and Review/Apply.
Note:The drop down list is not visible when adding the handset. You will need to first
