ET685 Administrator and Provisioning Manual
ASCII Text Format AND XML Format
1. Start with a factory reset phone
Apply the desired modifications in your working (live)

phone environment first.
Observe the stability and performance of the applied

changes.
2. Do NOT use the complete parameter list as starting point,
instead:
Delete or uncomment unused configuration

parameters from the complete parameter list.
Specify only those parameters you really want to

change --> Check the meaning of each parameter
before usage.
Finally your setting file may contain only a few

parameters.
1. Do NOT use read-only flags at the beginning. They can be
added at the end in order to protect certain parameters to
be notified by the user!
2. Inside firmware setting files do NOT use any flags at all.
1. Do NOT provide network settings when using DHCP.
2. Do NOT specify setting_server unless a redirection to a
different setting server is desired.
Remember the phone has already obtained the setting

file correctly - repeated usage of the same setting
server can have unpredictable side effects and is
NOT recommended.
1. Do NOT specify neither bootloader nor firmware inside
setting files:
In order to perform automated firmware updates

specify a firmware setting file URL inside firmware
status which points to the firmware setting file
containing the firmware image URL.
2. Inside firmware setting files use ONLY the configuration
parameters bootloader or firmware.
