Linksys IP Phone Administrator Guide
Firmware Version 5.1
Chapter 2 Getting Started
Using the Interactive Voice Response Interface
</flat-profile>
Binary format profiles contain Linksys IP phone parameter values and user access permissions for the
parameters. By convention, the profile uses the extension .cfg (for example, spa2000.cfg). The Linksys
Profile Compiler (SPC) tool compiles a plain-text file containing parameter-value pairs into a properly
formatted and encrypted .cfg file. The SPC tool is available from Linksys for the Win32 environment
and Linux-i386-elf environment. Requests for SPC tools compiled on other platforms are evaluated on
a case-by-case basis. Please contact your Linksys sales representative for further information about
obtaining the SPC tool.
The syntax of the plain-text file accepted by the profile compiler is a series of parameter-value pairs,
with the value in double quotes. Each parameter-value pair is followed by a semicolon. The following
is an example of a valid text source profile for input to the SPC tool:
Admin_Passwd “some secret”;
Upgrade_Enable “Yes”;
Refer to the LVS SPA Provisioning Guide for further details.
The names of parameters in XML profiles can generally be inferred from the Linksys IP phone
configuration web pages, by substituting underscores (_) for spaces and other control characters.
Further, to distinguish between Lines 1, 2, 3, and 4, corresponding parameter names are augmented by
the strings _1_, _2_, _3_, and _4_. For example, Line 1 Proxy is named Proxy_1_ in XML profiles.
Parameters in the case of source text files for the SPC tool are similarly named, except that to
differentiate Line 1, 2, 3, and 4, the appended strings ([1], [2], [3], or [4]) are used. For example, the
Line 1 Proxy is named Proxy[1] in source text profiles for input to the SPC.
Using the Interactive Voice Response Interface
This section describes how to read or write basic network configuration settings using the keypad on the
SPA901 IP Phone. To configure the other SPA phones, use the LCD display (see the
“Using the 900
Series LCD Display” section on page 3-1) or the administration web server (see the “Using the
Administration Web Server” section on page 2-12.
This section includes the following topics:
• Using the IVR Menu on a Linksys SPA901 Phone, page 2-16
• IVR Options, page 2-17
• Entering a Password through the IVR, page 2-19
By default, there is no password required for any of the IVR options. If the Administrator account
password is set, password authentication is required for some options.
The interactive voice response (IVR) features that are available depend on your system configuration.
A convenient quick-reference for the IVR is available at the following website:
