File Formats

If the configuration download setup program is not available, for example, if a configuration up- date server has not been installed, the phone does not initiate a download. In this case, an al- ternative procedure must be used for the configuration update.

2.2File Formats

2.2.1Configuration Files

Configuration files are stored on the configuration server. There are two kinds of configuration files.

2.2.1.1System Configuration File

The system configuration file has a unique name for every phone model (for example, op410adv_conf.xml). This file does not contain any phone-specific parameters (see ! page 3-2).

2.2.1.2Device Configuration File

Each device configuration file name contains the MAC address of the corresponding phone (for example, op410adv_conf001E300A9F3.xml). This file only contains phone-specific parame- ters (see ! page 3-2).

2.3.1Downloading Configuration Files

Every phone expects a default account named "config" on the FTP server with the password "config" (the plug-and-play settings are also located in the "Configuration management set- tings" dialog on the phone’s Web interface ! page 4-25). Once the configuration files have been downloaded, the phone checks the file versions. To do this, it searches for a "system- config-version" tag in the system configuration file and a "device-config-version" tag in the de- vice configuration file.

The phone then compares the system configuration file version with the version in the last download. If the version has changed, the phone executes the write instructions in the system and device configuration files

If the system configuration file version has not changed but the device configuration file version has, the phone only executes the write instructions from the device configuration file. If neither version has changed, the action is terminated.
