Comments

During development and scripting, it is often convenient to temporarily disable a
provisioning parameter by entering a # character at the start of the parameter
value. This effectively comments-out the remaining text in that parameter.
For example, a Profile_Rule with the value "# http://192.168.1.200/
sample.cfg" is equivalent to an empty Profile_Rule. The # character comment-
mechanism applies to the Profile_Rule*, Upgrade_Rule, and Resync_Trigger_*
parameters.

Macro Expansion

Several provisioning parameters undergo macro expansion internally prior to
being evaluated. This preevaluation step provides greater flexibility controlling the
resync and upgrade activities of the IP Telephony Device.
The parameter groups which undergo macro expansion before evaluation are as
follows:
• Resync_Trigger_*
• Profile_Rule*
• Log_Resync_*
• Upgrade_Rule
• Log_Upgrade_*
Under certain conditions, some general purpose parameters (GPP_*) also
undergo macro expansion, as explicitly indicated in the Optional Resync
Arguments section.
