Configuration File Tips And Security; Guidelines For The Mac-Specific Configuration File - VTech ErisTerminal SIP Deskset VSP736 Administrator And Provisioning Manual

Configuration File Tips and Security

All configuration settings are initially stored in a configuration template file. Copy, rename,
and edit the template file to create a general configuration file and the MAC-specific
configuration files you will need. You can store the general configuration file and the
MAC-specific files on your provisioning server.
Do not modify the configuration file header line that includes the model and firmware
version.
To save yourself time and effort, consider which settings will be common to all (or the
majority of) VSP736 desksets. Such settings might include call settings, language, and NAT
settings. You can then edit those settings in the configuration template and save it as the
general configuration file. The remaining settings will make up the MAC-specific
configuration file, which you will have to copy and edit for each VSP736.

Guidelines for the MAC-Specific configuration file

The VSP736 downloads the MAC-specific configuration file after the general configuration
file. You must create a MAC-specific configuration file for each VSP736 in your system. The
file name must contain the VSP736 MAC address, which is printed on a label on the back
of the device, or available on the MENU > Status > Product Info screen. For example, a
VTech VSP736 deskset with the MAC address of 00:11:A0:10:6F:2D would download the
VSP736_0011A0106F2D.cfg file.
When renaming a MAC-specific configuration file, ensure the filename is all upper
case.
The MAC-specific configuration file contains settings intended exclusively for that VSP736
deskset. Such settings will include SIP account settings such as display name, user ID, and
authentication ID.
