If you have a requirement for separate application loads on different phones on the same boot server, you can modify the application that is loaded when each phone reboots. An example is below:

<?xml version=”1.0” standalone=”yes”?>

<!-- Default Master SIP Configuration File -->

<!-- edit and rename this file to <Ethernet-address>.cfg for each phone. -->

<!-- $RCSfile: 000000000000.cfg,v $ $Revision:$ -->

<APPLICATION APP_FILE_PATH=”[PHONE_PART_NUMBER].sip.ld” CONFIG_FILES=”phone1.cfg, sip.cfg” MISC_FILES=””

LOG FILE DIRECTORY=”” OVERRIDES_DIRECTORY=”” CONTACTS_DIRECTORY=”” LICENSE_DIRECTORY=””/>

You can also use the substitution strings PHONE_MODEL,

PHONE_PART_NUMBER, and PHONE_MAC_ADDRESS in the master configuration file. For more information, refer to Product, Model, and Part Number Mapping on page C-26.

You can also direct phone upgrades to a software image and configuration files based on the phone model number and part number. All XML attributes can be modified in this manner. An example is below:

<?xml version=”1.0” standalone=”yes”?>

<!-- Default Master SIP Configuration File -->

<!-- edit and rename this file to <Ethernet-address>.cfg for each phone. -->

<!-- $RCSfile: 000000000000.cfg,v $ $Revision:$ --> <APPLICATION APP_FILE_PATH=”sip.ld” CONFIG_FILES=”phone1.cfg, sip.cfg” MISC_FILES=”” LOG_FILE_DIRECTORY=””
