Changing the Key on the Phone

For security purposes, it may be desirable to change the key on the phones and the server from time to time.

To change a key:

1.Put the new key into a configuration file that is in the list of files downloaded by the phone (specified in 000000000000.cfg or <Ethernet address>.cfg).

Use the device.sec.configEncryption.key parameter to specify the new key.

2.Manually reboot the phone so that it will download the new key. The phone will automatically reboot a second time to use the new key.

At this point, the phone expects all encrypted configuration files on the boot server to use the new key and it will continue to reboot until this is the case. The files on the server must be updated to the new key or they must be made available in unencrypted format. Updating to the new key requires decrypting the file with the old key, then encrypting it with the new key.

Note that configuration files, contact directory files and configuration override files may all need to be updated if they were already encrypted. In the case of configuration override files, they can be deleted from the boot server so that the phone will replace them when it successfully boots.

Adding a Background Logo

This section provides instructions on how to add a background logo to all

SoundPoint IP phones in your organization. You must be running at least

BootROM 2.x.x and SIP 1.x.x. One bitmap file is required for each model, but

SoundPoint IP 301 phones do not support bitmap logos.
