2.2.2.1.1 Configuration Files

The phone configuration files consist of master configuration files and application
configuration files.
2.2.2.1.1.1 Master Configuration Files
Central provisioning requires that an XML-format master configuration file be located
on the boot server. Either a URL-specified master configuration file or one whose
name is associated with the particular phone can be used. Refer to the following sec-
tions.
Specified Master Configuration File
The master configuration file can be explicitly specified in the boot server address, for
example, http://usr:pwd@server/dir/example1.cfg. The file name must end with
".cfg" and be at least five characters long. If this file cannot be downloaded, the phone
will search for the per-phone master configuration file described below.
Per-phone Master Configuration File
If per-phone customization is required (for all applications that require per-phone cus-
tomization), the file should be named <Ethernet address>.cfg, where Ethernet address
is the Ethernet MAC address of the phone in question. For A-F hexadecimal digits,
use lower case only, for example, 0004f200106c.cfg. The Ethernet address can be
viewed using the
via the Menu>Status>Platform>Phone menu in the application. It is also printed on a
label on the back of the phone. If this file cannot be downloaded, the phone will
search for the default master configuration file described below.
Default Master Configuration File
For systems in which the configuration is identical for all phones (no per-phone
<Ethernet address>.cfg files), the default master configuration file may be used to set
the configuration for all phones. The file named 000000000000.cfg (<12 zeros>.cfg)
is the default master configuration file and it is recommended that one be present on
the boot server. If a phone does not find its own <Ethernet address>.cfg file, it will
use this one, and establish a baseline configuration. This file is part of the standard
Polycom distribution of configuration files. It should be used as the template for the
<Ethernet address>.cfg files.
