Master Configuration Files

The master configuration files can be one of:

•Specified master configuration file—The master configuration file can be explicitly specified in the boot server address, for example, http://usr:pwd@server/dir/example1.cfg. The filename must end with

.cfg and be at least five characters long. If this file cannot be downloaded, the phone will search for the per-phone master configuration file (described next).

•Per-phone master configuration file—If per-phone customization is required, the file should be named <Ethernet address>.cfg, where Ethernet address is the MAC address of the phone in question. For A-F hexadecimal digits, use upper or lower case, for example, 0004f200106c.cfg. The Ethernet address can be viewed using the About soft key during the auto-restart countdown of the bootROM or through the Menu > Status > Platform > Phone menu in the application. It is also printed 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 next).

•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:

<?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=”” LICENSE_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.
