Application Configuration Files
Typically, the files are arranged in the following manner although parameters
may be moved around within the files and the filenames themselves can be
changed as needed. These files dictate the behavior of the phone once it is
running the executable specified in the master configuration file.
The application files are:
• Application—It contains parameters that affect the basic operation of the
phone such as voice codecs, gains, and tones and the IP address of an
application server. All phones in an installation usually share this category
of files. Polycom recommends that you create another file with your
organization's modifications. If you must change any Polycom templates,
back them up first. By default, sip.cfg is included.
• Per-phone—It contains parameters unique to a particular phone user.
Typical parameters include:
— display name
— unique addresses
Each phone in an installation usually has its own customized version of
user files derived from Polycom templates. By default, phone1.cfg is
included.
Override Files
This file contains all changes that are made by a user through the their phone
(for example, time/date formats, ring types, and backlight intensity). The file
allows the phone to keep user preferences through reboots and upgrades.
There is an option to clear the override file available to the system
administrator—press the Menu key, and then select Settings > Advanced >
Admin Settings > Reset to Default > Reset Local Config. You will be
prompted to enter the administrative password.
Central Provisioning
The phones can be centrally provisioned from a provisioning server through a
system of global and per-phone configuration files. The provisioning server
also facilitates automated application upgrades, logging, and a measure of
fault tolerance. Multiple redundant provisioning servers can be configured to
improve reliability.
In the central provisioning method, there are two major classifications of
configuration files:
• System configuration files
• Per-phone configuration files
