Chapter 5: Secure deskphone

After you installed the deskphone, you must restrict the configuration options to prevent users from

making changes that can affect the deskphone operation.

You can secure the deskphone administration control through:

• The configuration file parameters

• The Web GUI

You can administer control of the deskphone centrally through the configuration file that Avaya

provides with E129 deskphones. The configuration file resides on the configuration server and is a

binary or an XML file that contains configuration parameters. Each parameter corresponds to a

feature that you configure through the Web interface. To configure a feature, you can assign the

required value to the parameter of that feature.

When the deskphone starts or restarts, the deskphone makes a TFTP, HTTP, or HTTPS request to

the configuration server for configuration files. The deskphone requests for an XML file named

cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml followed by a file named cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx, where xxxxxxxxxxxx is the MAC

address of the deskphone. For example, cfg000b820102ab.xml and cfg000b820102ab. If these files

are unavailable, the deskphone downloads a generic configuration file, cfg.xml. The configuration

file name must be in lowercase.

Set the following parameters in the configuration file.
