Using Configuration Files

You can use the following two configuration files to specify settings for your Cisco MGCP IP phone:
•
•
Note
If you use configuration files, the OS79XX.TXT file no longer controls the image used by the phone.
The OS79XX.TXT file controls the image only if you change protocols (SIP to MGCP, or MGCP to SIP).
Image version and upgrading is done through the image_version configuration parameter in the
configuration files.
Upon startup, the phone attempts to download both files. If neither file exists, a TFTP timeout occurs
after approximately 9 seconds per file. If the files exist, they are parsed and processed.
Note Both files can use the same values or contain empty values. If the files have empty values, the
Cisco MGCP IP phone boots using the default values for some of the parameters.

Specifies encoding for audio signals.

MGCDefault.cnf—The default configuration file. Use this file to configure the call agent address,
time, and other global parameters.
MGCmacaddress.cnf—The user configuration file. The MAC address specifies the hardware
address of the Cisco MGCP IP phone and is not configurable. Use this file to specify the phone
prompt, phone password, and time zone (for example, if a CA covers an area with multiple time
zones). You can also specify a different set of eXtensible Markup Language (XML) cards for the
phone. For example, you may want to control which XML services are available on each phone;
managers may have different features on their phones than employees do. You can also specify
whether you want a specific phone to use a different image version.
The values in the user configuration file take precedence because that file is processed last.
Values in this file override what is in the default configuration file.
