Configuring Your System

 

 

 

 

Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server:

 

 

 

Central

Configuration File:

Specify the type of validation to perform on a request-by-request

(boot server)

sip.cfg

basis, appropriate to specific event types in some cases.

 

 

For more information, refer to Request Validation

 

 

<requestValidation/> on page A-14.

 

 

 

Configuration File Encryption

Configuration files (excluding the master configuration file), contact directories, and configuration override files can all be encrypted.

Note

The SoundPoint IP 300 and 500 phones will always fail at decrypting files. These

 

 

phones will recognize that a file is encrypted, but cannot decrypt it and will display

 

 

an error. Encrypted configuration files can only be decrypted on the SoundPoint IP

 

 

301, 320, 330, 430, 501,550, 560, 600, 601, and 650 and the SoundStation IP 4000

 

 

phones.

 

 

 

The master configuration file cannot be encrypted on the boot server. This file is

 

 

downloaded by the bootROM that does not recognize encrypted files. For more

 

 

information, refer to Master Configuration Files on page A-2.

 

 

 

 

 

 

For more information on encrypting configuration files including determining

 

 

whether an encrypted file is the same as an unencrypted file and using the

 

 

SDK to facilitate key generation, refer to Encrypting Configuration Files on

 

 

page C-3.

 

 

 

Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server:

 

 

 

 

 

Central

Configuration File:

Specify the phone-specific contact directory and the

 

(boot server)

sip.cfg

phone-specific configuration override file.

 

 

 

For more information, refer to Encryption <encryption/>

 

 

 

on page A-80.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Configuration file:

Change the encryption key.

Configuring SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP Phones Locally

A local phone-based configuration web server is available, unless it is disabled through sip.cfg. It can be used as the only method of modifying phone configuration or as a distributed method of augmenting a centralized provisioning model. For more information, refer to Web Server <httpd/> on page A-57.
