b.The FTP server user name and FTP password should be changed from the default values. Note that FTP is an insecure protocol and the user chosen should have very few privileges on the server.

The basic network configuration referred to in the preceding sections can be reset to factory defaults. To perform this function on the IP 300, 500 and 600, simultaneously press and hold the 4, 6, 8 and * dial pad keys until the password prompt appears. To perform this function on the IP 4000, simultaneously press and hold the 6, 8 and * dial pad keys until the password prompt appears. Enter the administrator password to ini- tiate the reset. This will reset the administrator password as well.

2.2.2 Application Configuration

While it is possible to make calls with the phone using its default configuration, most installations will require some basic configuration changes to get things running opti- mally. These changes can be made using the central boot server model, if a boot server has been set up, or some, but not all changes can be made using the phone’s internal configuration web server.

Advantages of using a boot server:

1.The centralized repository for application images and configuration files permits application updates and coordinated configuration parameters.

2.Some parameters can only be modified using boot server configuration files.

3.The multilingual feature requires boot server-resident dictionary files.

4.The customized sound effect wave files require a boot server.

5.When file uploads are permitted, the boot server is the repository for:

•boot process and application event log files - very effective when diag- nosing system problems

•local configuration changes via the <Ethernet address>-phone.cfg boot server configuration overrides file - the phone treats the boot server copy as the original when booting

•per-phone contact directory named <Ethernet address>-directory.cfg

6.The boot server copy of the application images and configuration files can be used to “repair” a damaged phone configuration in the same way that system repair disks work for PCs.

The following sections discuss the available configuration options.
