you use the parameter tag file called sip_ptag.dat, which Cisco provides. You can rename sip_ptag.dat to ptag.dat before you run the cfgfmt.exe tool, or you can use the cfgfmt.exe tool -t option to specify the file name sip_ptag.dat. (See the “Creating a Phone-Specific Profile” section on page 6-11or the “Creating a Default Profile” section on page 6-13for more information.)

Profile Conventions

A text profile file must conform to the following conventions:

•The characters #txt must appear at the beginning of the first line of the file so that the formatting tool, cfgfmt.exe, will treat the file as a text file.

•A pound sign (#) must appear at the beginning of a line that is a comment.

•Parameter/value pairs must be in the form parameter:value, where parameter is the exact name of the parameter and value is a valid value.

•Each parameter/value pair must appear on its own line.

•All parameter/value pairs are optional, but the Cisco IP Phone might not function properly if some values are missing.
