The Handset-Specific Files (E.g. Sip_3001.Cfg) - Polycom SpectraLink 8020 Administration Manual

The Handset-Specific Files (e.g. sip_3001.cfg)

PN: 1725-36038-001-L.doc
The handset-specific configuration file provides specific information
for the handset to identify itself and communicate with other
handsets. Each handset must have its own file with a unique filename.
You may use the same parameters as the generic file when
programming the handset files if you wish to override a common
setting.
You must configure a unique handset file for each handset being
deployed. Typically each of these files is named with the extension
number or name of the person assigned the handset. For example
John Doe's handset could have a handset filename of sip_3001.cfg
or sip_JohnDoe.cfg.
The maximum number of characters allowed per line (excluding
comments) in this configuration file is 121.
Items in the PROXY section should be in the allusers .cfg file. If a
specific user requires an override, that PROXY setting should be
uncommented in the handset specific file.
Gather information and open the sample file
Each handset must have a specific filename with the form of
SIP_[username].cfg where [username] is as assigned to each
individual user by the system administrator (e.g. sip_3001.cfg or
sip_JohnDoe.cfg). Username requirements are: alphanumeric, no
spaces, no punctuation, case is ignored, 1-16 characters.
The sample cfg files are populated with commonly-used values.
Consult the SIP Proxy Server Command Table in Appendix B for
detailed information on configuration options.
The specific file should contain data specific to each user such as
authentication credentials and line appearance data. See the
Registration
