Using the MGCP Phone Settings Button

You can configure several features using the settings button on your MGCP phone. Some of these
features may differ depending on the vendor CA you are using. To begin you have to unlock the
configuration mode.
There are two methods for unlocking the configuration mode: one method for phones that have Release
4.2 and later and one method for phones that have Release 4.1 and earlier.

In Release 4.2 or Later

In Cisco Release 4.2, there is an "Unlock Config" item in the phone settings menu. When you select
Unlock Config, the user is prompted to enter a phone password using the alphanumberic entry function
of the keypad. The phone password is set using the phone_password configuration parameter. When the
correct password is entered, the configuration is unlocked and the settings can be changed.
The Unlock Config item in the menu changes to Lock Config and the configuration remains locked until
it is unlocked. When the Settings menu is exited, the phone will automatically relock the configuration.

In Release 4.1 or Earlier
