DPMA *vs* EPM or DPMA *in* EPM?

[jtbayly (Joseph)]

I’ve got a bunch of Digium D40, D60, and D70 phones, and I have them registering to FreePBX, but I am still confused. In an answer from 2022 I read:

@lgaetz

DPMA is an Asterisk module, and is supported in FreePBX 16. It is support for the FreePBX “Digium Phones” module that was removed in 16. If you want to use current D and P phones in FreePBX 16, you provision them with Endpoint Manager with DPMA enabled.

However, this answer from a week ago seems to imply you use Endpoint Manager without DPMA enabled now. Is that a new change, or am I just misunderstanding something?

(Sorry, I would have asked over on that question, but it just got closed an hour ago after 7 days of inactivity.)

Thanks for your patience with a newby.

Hi Joseph

EPM supports provisioning D6X and P phones with DPMA.

The other D phones are provisioned in EPM without DPMA.

Aha! Thanks for the clarification.
