No. 1290 is used to log a phone out, or release the MAC address VS. the extension.

ok. So I log the phone out. Now the question is can I log a phone in via the programming?

As far as I know, you have to log in through the phone.

I use advance IP scanner. It will scan your subnet and show all the IP addy's, MAC's and Manufacturer. That will point you to the webpage of the phone to verify your config USER:ADMIN PASS 6633222. You can see where the phone is registering to, the port number, any SIP profile stuff, and how it gets it's IP addy.

The phone is protims. It does not use sip/h323 to communicate or http to configure.

Sounds like to me then you will have to have a config file and DHCP scope options 66, and 67 turned on. That is the only other way. This will supply the phone with a file server, and file name for the config file.
