You can configure many parameters on the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7902G,
7905G, and 7912G using a profile file stored on the TFTP server. A profile file is
a binary file that contains a list of tag, length, and value triplets (TLVs) that
represent some of the configuration parameters for the Cisco Unified IP Phone.
You can edit a text version of a profile file and then convert it to a binary file for
the phone to download.
TFTP configuration works as follows:
A Cisco Unified IP Phone will try to download a phone-specific profile file
1.
from the TFTP server.
2. If the phone-specific profile file does not exist, the phone will try to download
a common, or default, profile file.
