Configuration File Precedence

Aastra IP phones can accept three sources of configuration data:
• The server configuration most recently downloaded/cached from the configuration server
files, aastra.cfg/<model>.cfg/<mac>.cfg (or the aastra.tuz/<model>.tuz/<mac>.tuz
encrypted equivalents).
• Local configuration changes stored on the phone that were entered using either the IP phone
UI or the Aastra Web UI
If the same parameter appears in more once in the above configuration files, the last parameter/
value read will be used (i.e., the following precedence rules will apply):
• Settings in the <model>.cfg file can overwrite aastra.cfg settings
• Settings in the <mac>.cfg file can overwrite <model>.cfg settings
In the event of conflicting values set by the different methods, values are applied in the following
sequence:
1.
Default values hard-coded in the phone software
2.
Values downloaded from the configuration server
3.
Values stored locally on the phone
The last values to be applied to the phone configuration are the values that take effect.
For example, if a parameter's value is set in the local configuration (via Aastra Web UI or IP phone
UI) and the same value was also set differently in one of the aastra.cfg/<model>.cfg/<mac>.cfg
files on the configuration server, the local configuration value is the value that takes effect because
that is the last value applied to the configuration.

Installing the Firmware/Configuration Files

The following procedure describes how to install the firmware and configuration files.
Step Action
1 If DHCP is disabled, manually enter the configuration server's IP address. For details on manually
setting DHCP, see Chapter 4, the section
2 Copy the firmware file <phone model>.st to the root directory of the configuration server. The IP
phone accepts the new firmware file only if it is different from the firmware currently loaded on the IP
phone.
Note: The <phone model> attribute is the IP phone model (i.e., 9143i.st, 9480i.st, 9480iCT.st,
6730i.st, 6731i.st, 6735i.st, 6737i.st, 6739i.st, 51i.st, 53i.st, 55i.st, 57i.st, 57iCT.st).
