Overwriting Parameters with Defaults in the Configuration Files
An Administrator can specify a “ ^ “ (caret character) before a configuration parameter in the
aastra.cfg, <model>.cfg,
and <mac>.cfg configuration files, which allows the parameter to be
overwritten and reset back to a specified value. This can be convenient when changes are made
by a user to specific parameters on the phone locally (via Aastra Web UI or IP Phone UI), and
the Administrator wants to set the parameters back to the default values using the configuration
files.
As an example, the following table describes how the parameter “sip proxy ip” is handled by the
phone during phone bootup when either the “ ^ “ (default parameter) is used or the “ ! “ (locked
parameter) is used.
Example 1
The following example illustrates the use of the “ ^ “ in the configuration files.
aastra.cfg
^sip proxy ip: pbx.company.com
^sip proxy port: 5060
^sip registrar ip: pbx.company.com
^sip registrar port: 5060
In the above example, if an Administrator indicates the “ ^ “ before the parameters in the
aastra.cfg
file, and then loads the aastra.cfg file to the phone, these four parameters are reset to
their default values, even if the parameters were previously changed on the phone.
IF THEN
new <mac>.cfg file is loaded to the phone
with “^sip proxy ip” and any other
parameter(s) from the file specifying a “ ^ “ the “^sip proxy ip” and any other “ ^ “
parameters are overwritten if previously
changed by the user.
new <model>.cfg file is loaded to the phone
with “^sip proxy ip” and any other
parameter(s) from the file specifying a “ ^ “ the “^sip proxy ip” and any other “ ^ “
parameters are overwritten if previously
changed by the user.
new aastra.cfg file is loaded to the phone
with “^sip proxy ip” and any other
parameter(s) from the file specifying a “ ^ “ the “^sip proxy ip” and any other “ ^ “
parameters are overwritten if previously
changed by the user.
the first instance is “^sip proxy ip” and
second instance is “!sip proxy ip”in the
aastra.cfg, <model>.cfg,
and/or <mac>.cfg
file,
the value for the second instance of the
parameter (“!sip proxy ip”) overwrites to
the aastra.cfg, <model>.cfg, and/or
<mac>.cfg files
previously on the phone.
Notes:
1. XML reboots take precedence over server.cfg values.
Therefore, “ ^ “ parameters are ignored in the aastra.cfg file
during XML reboots.
2. If a parameter has both a “ ^ “ and a “ ! “ preceding the same
parameter (i.e., ^!sip proxy ip: pbx.company.com), then the
parameter is ignored and NOT overwritten.
