Master Configuration Files
The master configuration files can be one of:
• Specified master configuration file—The master configuration file can be
explicitly specified in the boot server address, for example,
http://usr:pwd@server/dir/example1.cfg. The filename must end with
.cfg and be at least five characters long. If this file cannot be downloaded,
the phone will search for the per-phone master configuration file
(described next).
• Per-phone master configuration file—If per-phone customization is
required, the file should be named <Ethernet address>.cfg, where
Ethernet address is the MAC address of the phone in question. For A-F
hexadecimal digits, use upper or lower case, for example,
0004f200106c.cfg. The Ethernet address can be viewed using the About
soft key during the auto-restart countdown of the bootROM or through
the Menu > Status > Platform > Phone menu in the application. It is also
printed on a label on the back of the phone. If this file cannot be
downloaded, the phone will search for the default master configuration
file (described next).
• Default master configuration file—For systems in which the configuration
is identical for all phones (no per-phone <Ethernet address>.cfg files), the
default master configuration file may be used to set the configuration for
all phones. The file named 000000000000.cfg (<12 zeros>.cfg) is the default
master configuration file and it is recommended that one be present on the
boot server. If a phone does not find its own <Ethernet address>.cfg file,
it will use this one, and establish a baseline configuration. This file is part
of the standard Polycom distribution of configuration files. It should be
used as the template for the <Ethernet address>.cfg files.
The default master configuration file, 000000000000.cfg, 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. -->
<!-- $Revision: 1.14 $ $Date 2005/07/27 18:43:30 $ -->
< APPLICATION APP_FILE_PATH=”sip.ld”
CONFIG_FILES=”phone1.cfg, sip.cfg” MISC_FILES=””
LOG FILE DIRECTORY=”” OVERRIDES_DIRECTORY=””
CONTACTS_DIRECTORY=”” LICENSE_DIRECTORY=””/>
Master configuration files contain six XML attributes:
• APP_FILE_PATH—The path name of the application executable. It can
have a maximum length of 255 characters. This can be a URL with its own
protocol, user name and password, for example
http://usr:pwd@server/dir/sip.ld.
