Programming the SIP Handset
Features
In order for the handset to function in the SIP environment, it
downloads two files from the root directory of the SIP TFTP server
during startup. The first file contains generic system information and
is downloaded by every handset during the power-up sequence. A
second file, unique for each handset, is then downloaded. It contains
specific information for each handset such as username, password,
and line appearances. Both of these files must be written locally.
Sample files populated with default parameters are provided with the
software downloaded from the website. We recommend using these
sample files as a starting point and adjusting them according to your
system requirements. See the Sample Configuration Files section below
for the default values.
SIP TFTP Server Configuration Files
The two file types, generic and specific, are identical in format. Any or
all of the configuration information can be contained in either file.
Any information in the specific file that conflicts with the information
in the generic file will take precedence over that in the generic file.
Authentication information will be accepted from both files. For ease
of administration, it is recommended both file types be utilized.
Guidelines
• The files are in plain text, US-ASCII. The general form of the
configuration file data is “parameter = value.”
• The generic filename must be SIP_allusers.cfg.
• Each specific filename must have the form of SIP_username.cfg
where [username] is as assigned to each individual user by the
system administrator. See Chapter 2 SpectraLink 8020/8030 Wireless
