Configuration File Types - Snom M100 KLE Administrator And Provisioning Manual

Configuration File Types

The M100 KLE is able to retrieve and download two types of configuration file. Depending
on your requirements, you may want to make both types of configuration file available on
your provisioning server.
The two configuration file types are a general configuration file and a MAC-specific
configuration file. The types differ in name only. The formatting of the files' content is the
same.
The general configuration file contains settings that are required by every M100 KLE in the
system.
The MAC-specific configuration file is a file that only a single M100 KLE can retrieve. The
MAC-specific configuration file name contains a M100 KLE MAC address and can only be
retrieved by the device with a matching MAC address.
The filename formats for both files are:
General file: <model>.cfg

MAC-specific file: <model>_<MAC Address>.cfg

The <model> variable is the Snom product model; for example, M100 KLE. For more
information about the MAC-specific configuration file, see
configuration file" on page
If the provisioning URL specifies a path only with no filename, then by default the M100 KLE
will fetch both files.
However, if the provisioning URL specifies both a path and filename, then the M100 KLE
will only fetch the single configuration file specified.
Both the general and MAC-specific files can contain any of the available configuration
settings. A setting can appear in the general configuration file or the MAC-specific
configuration file, or both files, or neither file. If a setting appears in both files, the setting
that is read last is the one that applies.
When the M100 KLE fetches both a general and a MAC-specific configuration file, the
general file is processed first. You can configure a setting for most of your M100 KLE 4-Line
base stations in the general file, and then overwrite that setting for just a few M100 KLE
4-Line base stations using the MAC-specific file.
