Configuration File Types - Snom C620 Administrator And Provisioning Manual

Configuration File Types

The C620 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 C620 in the
system.
The MAC-specific configuration file is a file that only a single C620 can retrieve. The
MAC-specific configuration file name contains a C620 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, C620. 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 C620 will
fetch both files.
However, if the provisioning URL specifies both a path and filename, then the C620 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 C620 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 C620 SIP Wireless
Conference Phones in the general file, and then overwrite that setting for just a few C620
SIP Wireless Conference Phones using the MAC-specific file.
