Master Configuration Files
The master configuration files can be one of:
• Specified master configuration file—The master configuration file can be
explicitly specified in the boot server address, for example,
http://usr:pwd@server/dir/example1.cfg. The filename must end with
.cfg and be at least five characters long. If this file cannot be downloaded,
the phone will search for the per-phone master configuration file
(described next).
• Per-phone master configuration file—If per-phone customization is
required, the file should be named .cfg, where
Ethernet address is the MAC address of the phone in question. For A-F
hexadecimal digits, use upper or lower case, for example,
0004f200106c.cfg. The Ethernet address can be viewed using the About
soft key during the auto-restart countdown of the bootROM or through
the Menu > Status > Platform > Phone menu in the application. It is also
printed on a label on the back of the phone. If this file cannot be
downloaded, the phone will search for the default master configuration
file (described next).
• Default master configuration file—For systems in which the configuration
is identical for all phones (no per-phone .cfg files), the
default master configuration file may be used to set the configuration for
all phones. The file named 000000000000.cfg (<12 zeros>.cfg) is the default
master configuration file and it is recommended that one be present on the
boot server. If a phone does not find its own .cfg file,
it will use this one, and establish a baseline configuration. This file is part
of the standard Polycom distribution of configuration files. It should be
used as the template for the .cfg files.
The default master configuration file, 000000000000.cfg, is shown below:
< APPLICATION APP_FILE_PATH=”sip.ld”
CONFIG_FILES=”phone1.cfg, sip.cfg” MISC_FILES=””
LOG FILE DIRECTORY=”” OVERRIDES_DIRECTORY=””
CONTACTS_DIRECTORY=”” LICENSE_DIRECTORY=””/>
Master configuration files contain six XML attributes:
• APP_FILE_PATH—The path name of the application executable. It can
have a maximum length of 255 characters. This can be a URL with its own
protocol, user name and password, for example
http://usr:pwd@server/dir/sip.ld.
