The MAC address is a 12-digit hexadecimal number on a label on the back of the phone and on the
outside of the shipping box.
2 Create a per-phone phone<MACaddress>.cfg file.
Tip: Choosing the File Name for a Per-Phone Configuration File
Do not use the following file names as your per-phone file name: <MACaddress>-phone.cfg,
<MACaddress>-web.cfg, <MACaddress>-app.log, or <MACaddress>-license.cfg. These file names
are used by the phone itself to store user preferences (overrides) and logging information.
3 Add the phone registration parameters to the file, for example reg.1.address, reg.1.label,
and reg.1.type.
4 Create a per-site site<location>.cfg file.
For example, add the SIP server or feature parameters such as
voIpProt.server.1.address and feature.corporateDirectory.enabled.
Settings: Configuring Your Phone for Local Conditions
Most of the default settings are typically adequate; however, if SNTP settings are not available
through DHCP, edit the SNTP GMT offset, and possibly the SNTP server address for the correct
local conditions. Changing the default daylight savings parameters will likely be necessary outside of
North America. Disable the local Web (HTTP) server or change its signaling port if the local security
policy dictates (see <httpd/>). Change the default location settings for user interface language and
time and date format (see <lcl/>)
5 Create a master configuration file by performing the following steps:
a Enter the name of each per-phone and per-site configuration files created in steps 2 and 3 in the
CONFIG_FILES attribute of the master configuration file (000000000000.cfg). For help using
the master configuration file, see
For example, add a reference to phone<MACaddress>.cfg.
b (Optional) Edit the LOG_FILE_DIRECTORY attribute of master configuration file so that it points
to the log file directory.
c (Optional) Edit the CONTACT_DIRECTORY attribute of master configuration file so that it points to
the organization's contact directory.
d (Optional) Edit the USER_PROFILES_DIRECTORY attribute of master configuration file if you
intend to enable the User Login feature.
For more information, see
e (Optional) Edit the CALL_LISTS_DIRECTORY attribute of master configuration file so that it
points to the user call lists.
