Mitel 6800i Series SIP Phone Release 4.1.0 Administrator Guide
CONFIGURATION FILES
1. Using a text-based editing application, open the configuration file for the phone, for which
you want to configure the CSV directory list (either startup.cfg, <model>.cfg, <mac>.cfg or
all three).
2. Enter the required configuration parameters followed by the applicable value. For example,
directory 1: company_directory
directory 2: my_personal_directory
3. Save the changes and close the configuration file.
4. If the parameter requires the phone to be restarted in order for it to take affect, use the IP
Phone UI or the Mitel Web UI to restart the phone.
LOCKING PARAMETERS IN THE CONFIGURATION FILE
The IP Phones allow you to lock individual configuration parameters to prevent an end user
from changing the configuration on the phone. This feature allows service providers to prevent
the end-user from changing the values of specific parameters that would affect the service they
provide.
An Administrator can lock parameters on the phone by placing an exclamation mark (
the parameter in the configuration file. For example,
!admin password: 22222
!emergency dial plan: 911|999
You can lock parameters on the phone using the configuration files. Once the parameters are
locked, they cannot be changed at all during the phones run-time. The parameters appear as
read-only when accessing the Mitel Web UI and the IP Phone UI. In the Mitel Web UI, they
appear grayed out. In the IP Phone UI the ability to change the parameters is removed. In
addition, when parameters are locked, they cannot be changed via XML.
Notes:
1. The "parameter locking" feature applies to Release 2.4 and up. Any phones that
have a previous release loaded on the phone will not be able to use the locking
functionality in the configuration file.
2. Any parameter duplicated in the <model>.cfg from the startup.cfg is overwritten
by the locking status and the value of the parameter found in the <model>.cfg file.
Parameters in the <mac>.cfg file overwrite parameters in the <model>.cfg and
startup.cfg files.
Limitations
• A User possessing the Administrator password can bypass the locking of configuration
server details by defaulting the phone.
• Softkeys can be locked and unlocked via XML using the AastraIPPhoneConfiguration
object and softkeyN locked parameter (for more information about using the AastraIP-
