Chapter 5: Administering Through The Configuration File; Account General Settings Parameters - 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.
