Configuration File Guide; Guidelines For The Mac-Specific Configuration File - VTech VCS754 Administrator And Provisioning Manual

Configuration File Guide

All configuration settings are initially stored in a configuration template file. Copy, rename,
and edit the template file to create a general configuration file and the MAC-specific
configuration files you will need. You can store the general configuration file and the
MAC-specific files on your provisioning server.
Do not modify the configuration file header line that includes the model and firmware
version.
To save yourself time and effort, consider which settings will be common to all (or the
majority of) VCS754 conference phones. Such settings might include call settings,
language, and NAT settings. You can then edit those settings in the configuration template
and save it as the general configuration file. The remaining settings will make up the
MAC-specific configuration file, which you will have to copy and edit for each VCS754.

Guidelines for the MAC-Specific configuration file

The VCS754 downloads the MAC-specific configuration file after the general configuration
file. You must create a MAC-specific configuration file for each VCS754 in your system. The
file name must contain the VCS754 MAC address, which is printed on a label on the
bottomof the device, or available on the MENU > Status > Product Info screen. For
example, a VTech VCS754 conference phone with the MAC address of 00:11:A0:10:6F:2D
would download the VCS754_0011A0106F2D.cfg file.
When renaming a MAC-specific configuration file, ensure the filename is all upper
case.
The MAC-specific configuration file contains settings intended exclusively for that VCS754
conference phone. Such settings will include SIP account settings such as display name,
user ID, and authentication ID.
