on a label on the back of the phone. If this file cannot be downloaded, the phone will
search for the default master configuration file described below.
Default Master Configuration File
For systems in which the configuration is identical for all phones (no per-phone
<Ethernet address>.cfg files), the default master configuration file may be used to set
the configuration for all phones. The file named 000000000000.cfg (<12 zeros>.cfg)
is the default master configuration file and it is recommended that one be present on
the boot server. If a phone does not find its own <Ethernet address>.cfg file, it will
use this one, and establish a baseline configuration. This file is part of the standard
Polycom distribution of configuration files. It should be used as the template for the
<Ethernet address>.cfg files.
The default master configuration file, 000000000000.cfg, is shown below:
Example:
<?xml version=”1.0” standalone=”yes”?>
<!-- Default Master SIP Configuration File -->
<!-- edit and rename this file to <Ethernet-address>.cfg for each
phone. -->
<!-- $Revision: 1.14 $ $Date 2005/07/27 18:43:30 $ -->
< APPLICATION APP_FILE_PATH=”sip.ld”
CONFIG_FILES=”phone1.cfg, sip.cfg” MISC_FILES=””
LOG FILE DIRECTORY=”” OVERRIDES_DIRECTORY="" CONTACTS_DIRECTORY=""/>
Master configuration files contain six XML attributes:
APP_FILE_PATH The path name of the application executable. It can have a maximum
length of 255 characters. This can be a URL with its own protocol,
user name and password, for example http://usr:pwd@server/dir/
sip.ld.
CONFIG_FILES A comma-separated list of configuration files. Each file name has a
maximum length of 255 characters and the list of file names has a
maximum length of 2047 characters, including commas and white
space. Each configuration file can be specified as a URL with its own
protocol, user name and password, for example ftp://usr:pwd@server/
dir/phone2034.cfg.
MISC_FILES A comma-separated list of other required files. Dictionary resource
files listed here will be stored in the phone's flash file system. So if the
phone reboots at a time when the boot server is unavailable, it will still
be able to load the preferred language.
Note: On the IP 500, there is insufficient room for a language file.
Specifying one will cause a reboot loop.
LOG_FILE_DIRECTORY An alternative directory to use for log files if required. A URl can also
be specified. This is blank by default.
