Configuration Files

This appendix provides detailed descriptions of certain configuration files used by the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) application. It is a reference for all parameters that are configurable when using the centralized provisioning installation model.

This appendix contains information on:

• Master Configuration Files (MAC-address.cfg or 000000000000.cfg)

• Application Configuration (sip.cfg)

• Per-Phone Configuration (phone1.cfg)

• Flash Parameter Configuration

 

The application configuration files dictate the behavior of the phone once it is

 

running the executable specified in the master configuration file.

Caution

 

Configuration files should only be modified by a knowledgeable system

 

administrator. Applying incorrect parameters may render the phone unusable. The

 

configuration files which accompany a specific release of the SIP software must be

 

used together with that software. Failure to do this may render the phone unusable.

Note

 

 

In the tables in the subsequent sections, “Null” should be interpreted as the empty

 

string, that is, attributeName=“” when the file is viewed in an XML editor.

 

To enter special characters in a configuration file, enter the appropriate sequence

 

using an XML editor:

 

•

& as &

 

•

” as "

 

•

’ as '

 

•

< as <

 

•

> as >

Note

 

 

The various .hd. parameters in sip.cfg (such as voice.aec.hd.enable,

 

voice.ns.hd.enable, and voice.agc.hd.enable) are headset parameters. They

 

are not connected to high definition or HD voice.
