Chapter 5: Administering Through The Configuration File - Avaya E129 Administering

Chapter 5: Administering through the
You can administer the deskphone centrally through the configuration file that Avaya provides with
E129 deskphones. The configuration file resides on the configuration server and is a binary or an
XML file that contains configuration parameters. Each parameter corresponds to a feature that you
configure through the Web interface. To configure a feature, you can assign the required value to
the parameter of that feature.
When the deskphone starts or restarts, the deskphone makes a TFTP, HTTP, or HTTPS request to
the configuration server for configuration files. The deskphone requests for an XML file named
cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml followed by a file named cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx, where xxxxxxxxxxxx is the MAC
address of the deskphone. For example, cfg000b820102ab.xml and cfg000b820102ab. If these files
are unavailable, the deskphone downloads a generic configuration file, cfg.xml. The configuration
file name must be in lowercase.
