Setting Parameters in Configuration Files

You can set specific configuration parameters in the configuration files for configuring you IP phone. The aastra.cfg and <mac>.cfg files are stored on the server. The aastra.cfg file stores global IP phone configuration settings. The <mac>.cfg file stores configuration settings specific to the IP phone with that MAC address. When you restart the IP phone, these files are downloaded to the phone.

If you make changes to the phone configuration, the changes are stored in a local configuration on the phone (not on the server).

Configuration changes made to the <mac>.cfg file override the configuration settings in the aastra.cfg file.

Note: Configuration parameters that you enter in the configuration files are NOT case sensitive.
