Export Configuration Files from the Phone

You can export the phone's configuration file to your computer and make changes to the phone's current
settings. You can apply these settings to another phone by importing the configuration files using the Web
Configuration Utility.
To export the configuration files to your computer:
1 Find your phone's IP address on your phone's keypad or touchpad interface.
2 Enter the phone's IP address into the address bar of a web browser from your computer.
3 Choose your login option as Admin on the Web Configuration Utility login screen and enter the
corresponding password (default 456).
4 Navigate to Utilities > Import & Export Configuration.
5 Choose the files to export from the drop-down list of Export Configuration file under Export
Configuration pane.
6 Click Export.
The Web Configuration Utility exports the selected file to your computer.

Using Centralized Provisioning

The software that you download contains template configuration files and valid XML files that you can
modify using an XML editor. The configuration files enable you to maintain a set of configuration files for all
your devices on a central provisioning server and configure all of your systems to read the same set of files.
The software package contains template configuration files that are flexible and enable you to rearrange the
parameters within the template, move parameters to new files, or create your own configuration files from
parameters you want. This flexibility is especially useful when you want to apply a set of features or settings
to separate groups of systems. You can create and name as many configuration files as you want and your
configuration files can contain any combination of parameters.
Note: Remember that settings made from the Web Configuration Utility override settings you make in
configuration files using centralized provisioning.
Centralized provisioning requires that the system be able to read files and directories you list in the master
configuration file. In addition, the system attempts to upload log files (log files provide a history of system
events), a configuration override file, and a provisioning directory file to the provisioning server. Though not
required, Polycom recommends configuring a separate directory for each of these files to help organize: a
log file directory, an override directory, and a license directory.
Each directory can have different access permissions, however, where the security environments permits,
Polycom recommends that you allow these file uploads to the provisioning server which requires you to give
delete, write, and read permissions for the system's server account. All other files that the system needs to
read, such as the application executable and the standard configuration files, should be made read-only
