Customize new configuration files or apply new or changed parameters

to the old configuration files.
Differences between old and new versions of configuration files are

explained in the Release Notes that accompany the software. Both

mandatory and optional changes may present. Changes to site-wide

configuration files such as sip.cfg can be done manually, but a scripting

tool is useful to change per-phone configuration files.

Since the APPLICATION APP_FILE_PATH attribute of the

address>.cfg files references the individual sip.ld files, it is possible to

verify that an update is applied to phones of a particular model.
For example, the reference to sip.ld is changed to 2345-11605-001.sip.ld to

boot the SoundPoint IP 601 image.
The phones can be rebooted remotely through the SIP signaling protocol.

The phones can be configured to periodically poll the boot server to check for

changed configuration files or application executable. If a change is detected,
the phone will reboot to download the change. Refer to

Supporting SoundPoint IP 300 and 500 Phones

With enhancements in BootROM 4.0.0 and SIP 2.1.2, you can modify the

000000000000.cfg or .cfg configuration file to direct

phones to load the software image and configuration files based on the phone

model number. Refer to

Master Configuration Files

on page

A-2

.

The SIP 2.2.0 or later software distributions contain both new distribution files

for the new release and a uniquely named version of the SIP 2.1.2 release files

that is compatible with SoundPoint IP 300 and 500 phones.

Warning

The configuration files listed in CONFIG_FILES attribute of the master configuration
file must be updated when the software is updated. Any new configuration files
must be added to the CONFIG_FILES attribute in the appropriate order.

Mandatory changes must be made or the software may not behave as expected.
