Chapter 2 Preparing to Install the Cisco Unified IP Phone on Your Network

Understanding Phone Configuration Files

Phone Configuration Files” chapter in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide. A phone requests a configuration file whenever it resets and registers with Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

A phone accesses a default configuration file named XmlDefault.cnf.xml from the TFTP server when the following conditions exist:

The phone has not been added to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database

The phone is registering for the first time

If auto registration is not enabled and you did not add the phone to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database, the phone does not attempt to register with Cisco Unified Communications Manager. The phone continually displays the "Configuring IP" message until you either enable auto-registration or add the phone to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.

If the phone has registered before, the phone will access the configuration file named

SEPmac_address.cnf.xml, where mac_address is the MAC address of the phone.

The TFTP server generates these SIP configuration files:

SIP IP Phone:

For unsigned and unencrypted files—SEP<mac>.cnf.xml

For signed files—SEP<mac>.cnf.xml.sgn

For signed and encrypted files—SEP<mac>.cnf.xml.enc.sgn

Dial Plan—<dialplan>.xml

Softkey Template—<softkey_template>.xml

The filenames are derived from the MAC Address and Description fields in the Phone Configuration window of Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. The MAC address uniquely identifies the phone. For more information refer to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide.
