Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server:

Configuration File Encryption

Configuration files (excluding the master configuration file), contact

directories, and configuration override files can all be encrypted.

For more information on encrypting configuration files including determining

whether an encrypted file is the same as an unencrypted file and using the

SDK to facilitate key generation, refer to

Note

The SoundPoint IP 300 and 500 phones will always fail at decrypting files. These
phones will recognize that a file is encrypted, but cannot decrypt it and will display
an error. Encrypted configuration files can only be decrypted on the SoundPoint IP
301, 320, 330, 430, 501,550, 600, 601, and 650 and the SoundStation IP 4000
phones.

The master configuration file cannot be encrypted on the boot server. This file is
downloaded by the bootROM that does not recognize encrypted files. For more
information, refer to

Master Configuration Files

on page

A-2

.

Central

(boot server)

Configuration File:
sip.cfg

Specify the phone-specific contact directory and the
phone-specific configuration override file.
