Configuration Files
A - 3
• CONFIG_FILES—A comma-separated list of configuration files. Each file
name has a maximum length of 255 characters and the list of file names has
a maximum length of 2047 characters, including commas and white space.
Each configuration file can be specified as a URL with its own protocol,
user name and password, for example
ftp://usr:pwd@server/dir/phone2034.cfg.
• MISC_FILES—A comma-separated list of other required files. Dictionary
resource files listed here will be stored in the phone's flash file system. So
if the phone reboots at a time when the boot server is unavailable, it will
still be able to load the preferred language.
• LOG_FILE_DIRECTORY—An alternative directory to use for log files if
required. A URL can also be specified. This is blank by default.
• CONTACTS_DIRECTORY—An alternative directory to use for user
directory files if required. A URL can also be specified. This is blank by
default.
• OVERRIDES_DIRECTORY—An alternative directory to use for
configuration overrides files if required. A URL can also be specified. This
is blank by default.
• LICENSE_DIRECTORY—An alternative directory to use for license files if
required. A URL can also be specified. This is blank by default.
If you have a requirement for different application loads on different phones
on the same boot server, you can create a variable in the master configuration
file that is replaced by the MAC address of each phone when it reboots. An
example is shown below:
<?xml version=”1.0” standalone=”yes”?>
<!-- Default Master SIP Configuration File -->
<!-- edit and rename this file to <Ethernet-address>.cfg for
each phone. -->
<!-- $RCSfile: 000000000000.cfg,v $ $Revision:$ -->
< APPLICATION APP_FILE_PATH=”sip[MACADDRESS].ld”
Note
On the SoundPoint IP 500, there is insufficient room for a language file. Specifying
one will cause a reboot loop
Warning
The order of the configuration files listed in CONFIG_FILES is significant:
•
The files are processed in the order listed (left to right).
•
The same parameters may be included in more than one file.
•
The parameter found first in the list of files will be the one that is effective.
This provides a convenient means of overriding the behavior of one or more phones
without changing the baseline configuration files for an entire system.
