Configuration Files (Administrator Only) - Mitel 6867i Administrator's Manual

CONFIGURATION FILES (ADMINISTRATOR ONLY)

A system administrator can enter specific parameters in the configuration files to configure the
IP phones. All parameters in configuration files can only be set by an administrator.
You can enter specific configuration parameters in either of the following configuration files:
• startup.cfg
• <model>.cfg
• <mac>.cfg

For information about configuration file precedence, see
page 25. For a description of each configuration file parameter, see
Appendix."
USING THE CONFIGURATION FILES
When you use the configuration files to configure the IP phones, you must use a text-based
editing application to open the configuration file (startup.cfg, <model>.cfg, or <mac>.cfg).
Use the following procedure to add, delete, or change parameters and their settings in the
configuration files.
Note: Apply this procedure wherever this Administrator Guide refers to configuring
parameters using the configuration files.
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.
