Setting the default language on the IP Deskphone to French
T
o configure the default language on a new IP Deskphone, or an IP Deskphone that has not
been logged into by an end user, include the following in the [DEVICE_CONFIG] and
[LANGUAGE] sections of the 11xxeSIP.cfg configuration file.
[DEVICE_CONFIG]
DOWNLOAD_MODE AUTO
VERSION 000002
FILENAME DeviceConfig.dat
[LANGUAGE]
DOWNLOAD_MODE AUTO
VERSION 0000000001
FILENAME French_d24.lng
The DeviceConfig.cfg file should contain the following.
DEF_LANG French_d24
On a new IP
Deskphone, the language switches to French after downloading and processing
the configuration files. The login menu displays in French. On a subsequent bootup, the login
menu and all boot messages are in French.
For a new user login, the IP Deskphone creates a new user profile. All menus remain in French.
When a new user is created, the default language used is obtained from the DeviceConfig
setting and stored as a user preference, after which the user preference for language is always
used.
If a user has already logged in and either defaulted or chosen English as the user language
preference, changing the configuration files does not affect the user’s language display.
Create the device configuration file on the provisioning
server
After the IP
Deskphone downloads the provisioning file, the IP Deskphone reads the
[DEVICE_CONFIG] section and is directed to download the device configuration file.
The device configuration file is a clear text file and the naming convention is defined by the
administrator. See the FILENAME keyword in the [DEVICE_CONFIG] section of the SIP
provisioning file.
The following is an example of a device configuration file.
