2.Controls all aspects of the phone after it has restarted.

3.Uploads log files.

BootROM and Application Wrapper

Both the bootROM and the application run on multiple platforms (meaning all previously released versions of hardware that are still supported).

The file stored on the boot server is a wrapper, with multiple hardware specific images contained within. When a new bootROM or application is being saved, the file is read until a header matching the hardware model and revision are found, and then only this image is saved to flash memory.

Configuration

The SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP phones can be configured automatically through files stored on a central boot server, manually through the phone’s local UI or web interface, or a combination of the automatic and manual methods.

The recommended method for configuring phones is automatically through a central boot server, but if one is not available, the manual method will allow changes to most of the key settings.

The phone configuration files consist of:

•Master Configuration Files

•Application Configuration Files

Warning 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.

Master Configuration Files

The master configuration files can be one of:

•Specified master configuration file

•Per-phone master configuration file

•Default master configuration file

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