Chapter 6 Configuring the Cisco IP Phone Models 7905G and 7912G Using a TFTP Server

Creating or Updating a Profile

•pTagFile is an optional path and file name (or file name only) of the parameter tag file. Use this option if the parameter tag file is not in the folder from which you are running the cfgfmt.exe tool, and if the parameter tag file is not named ptag.dat.

•input-text-fileis the name of the text version of the profile file. Make sure to include any extension, such as .txt.

•output-binary-fileis the name of the binary file that the Cisco IP Phone uses as the TFTP configuration profile file. Specify the file name as follows, as follows, where each xx is the two-digit lowercase hexadecimal representation of each integer in the phone’s MAC address. The file name must contain exactly 14 characters.

–File name for the Cisco IP Phone 7905G: ldxxxxxxxxxxxx

–File name for the Cisco IP Phone 7912G: gkxxxxxxxxxxxx

Step 5 Put the binary file in the root directory on the TFTP server

When the Cisco IP Phone powers up or refreshes, it will retrieve its unique configuration file from the TFTP server.

If you want to refresh the phone immediately, see the “Refreshing or Resetting the Cisco IP Phone” section on page 6-17.) If you do not perform a refresh procedure, the phone will update its configuration the next time it contacts the TFTP server.

Creating a Default Profile

You can create a default profile, called lddefault.cfg for the Cisco IP Phone 7905G, or gkdefault.cfg for the Cisco IP Phone 7912G, that is common to all Cisco IP Phones of the same model. This profile is applied to a phone only if a phone-specific profile (ldxxxxxxxxxxxx or gkxxxxxxxxxxxx) does not exist for the phone on the TFTP server when the phone powers up.
