Configuration Files (

)
A system administrator can enter specific parameters in the configuration files to configure the

You can enter specific configuration parameters in either of the following configuration files:
• aastra.cfg
• .cfg
• .cfg

For information about configuration file precedence, see Chapter 1, “Overview.”
For a description of each configuration file parameter, see Appendix A, “Configuration
Parameters.”
Using the Configuration Files
When you use the configuration files to configure the IP phones, you must use a text-based
editing application to open the configuration file (aastra.cfg, .cfg, or .cfg).
Use the following procedure to add, delete, or change parameters and their settings in the
configuration files.
Note: Apply this procedure wherever this Administrator Guide refers to
configuring parameters using the configuration files.
Configuration files
Step Action
1 Using a text-based editing application, open the configuration file for the phone, for which you want to
configure the directory list (either aastra.cfg, .cfg,
.cfg or all three).
2 Enter the required configuration parameters followed by the applicable value. For example,
directory 1: company_directory
directory 2: my_personal_directory
3 Save the changes and close the configuration file.
4 If the parameter requires the phone to be restarted in order for it to take affect, use the
IP Phone UI or the Aastra Web UI to restart the phone.
