4.8.1 Loading Configuration File
The phone’s configuration file can be loaded or upgraded using one of the following methods:
Automatically - by using a TFTP server on which the configuration file is located
Manually - by selecting the configuration file located in a folder on your computer
While the phone is loading the configuration file, a message to indicate this is displayed on the
phone’s screen.
4.8.1.1 Automatically Downloading Configuration File from a TFTP Server
The configuration file can be placed on a TFTP server and then downloaded automatically to the
phone. The configuration file is in the format <phone’s MAC address>.cfg.
Approximately 40 seconds after phone initialization, the phone sends a TFTP Get message to the
TFTP server (indicated in DHCP option 66), requesting the configuration file. If the configuration
file is available on the TFTP server, the phone downloads it and updates the phone configuration
after verifying that the configuration file is related to the phone model and the version is later than
the current one. When configuration update is needed, the phone reboots. The next retrieval of
the configuration file is every lease time of the DHCP.

1. Access the ‘Auto-configuration’ page (Management tab > Firmware & Configuration menu
> Auto-configuration).
2. Select the Activate Off option.
¾ To define a different TFTP server for automatic configuration file download:

options 66. This value is replaced after reboot with the value received from DHCP option 66.
