Setting Parameters In Configuration Files - Mitel 6800 Series Administrator's Manual

Mitel 6800 Series SIP Phone Release 4.2.0 SP2 Administrator Guide

SETTING PARAMETERS IN CONFIGURATION FILES

You can set specific configuration parameters in the configuration files for configuring you IP
phone. The startup.cfg, <model>.cfg, and <mac>.cfg files are stored on the server. The
startup.cfg file stores global IP phone configuration settings.
Note: In releases previous to 4.0.0 SP1, the "startup.cfg" file was named "aastra.cfg".
Apart from the file names, the "startup.cfg" file acts as an identical replacement for the
"aastra.cfg" file. Releases including and above 4.0.0 SP1 support both the "startup.cfg"
and "aastra.cfg" files, but if the "startup.cfg" file is available, the phone will disregard the
"aastra.cfg" file (if available). The "aastra.cfg" file will be used if the "startup.cfg" file is
unavailable and will continue to be supported going forward to ensure backwards
compatibility with existing customer deployments.
The <model>.cfg file contains model specific information. The <mac>.cfg file stores
configuration settings specific to the IP phone with that MAC address. When you restart the IP
phone, these files are downloaded to the phone.
If you make changes to the phone configuration, the changes are stored in a local configuration
on the phone (not on the server).
Configuration changes made to the <model>.cfg file override the configuration settings in the
startup.cfg file. Configuration changes made to the <mac>.cfg file override the configuration
settings in the <model>.cfg and startup.cfg files.
Note: Configuration parameters that you enter in the configuration files are NOT case
sensitive.
