FIRMWARE AND CONFIGURATION FILES

DESCRIPTION

By default on startup, the phone downloads its firmware and configuration files from the
configuration server you have set; or you can manually download the firmware from the
configuration server. The phone supports TFTP, FTP, HTTP and HTTPS configuration servers.
Note: Automatic download is dependent on your configuration server setup. For more
information about manual and automatic download of firmware, see
"Upgrading the Firmware."

The IP Phone firmware file (.st) include all the necessary files you need for your phone.
The firmware consists of the following file:
• <phone model>.st - This file contains information about the specific IP Phone model and
contains the language packs to load to the phone.
The configuration files consist of three files called:
• startup.cfg - This file contains configuration information about the IP Phone.
Note: In releases previous to 4.0.0 SP1, the "startup.cfg" file was named
"aastra.cfg". Apart from the file names, the "startup.cfg" file acts as an identical
replacement for the "aastra.cfg" file. Releases including and above 4.0.0 SP1
support both the "startup.cfg" and "aastra.cfg" files, but if the "startup.cfg" file is
available, the phone will disregard the "aastra.cfg" file (if available). The "aastra.cfg"
file will be used if the "startup.cfg" file is unavailable and will continue to be supported
going forward to ensure backwards compatibility with existing customer
deployments.
• <model>.cfg (for example, 6867i.cfg) - This file contains model specific information, where
"model" should be the same string that is used for the model name (e.g. 6863i.cfg, 6865i.cfg,
6867i.cfg, 6869i.cfg).
• <MAC>.cfg (for example, 00085D1610DE.cfg) - This file contains configuration information
about the IP Phone.
