Setting Parameters in Configuration Files
You can set specific configuration parameters in the configuration files for configuring you IP phone. The aastra.cfg,
<model>.cfg, and <mac>.cfg files are stored on the server. The aastra.cfg file stores global IP phone configuration set-
tings. The <model>.cfg file contains model specific information. The <mac>.cfg file stores configuration settings specific
to the IP phone with that MAC address. When you restart the IP phone, these files are downloaded to the phone.
If you make changes to the phone configuration, the changes are stored in a local configuration on the phone (not on
the server).
Configuration changes made to the <model>.cfg file override the configuration settings in the aastra.cfg file. Configura-
tion changes made to the <mac>.cfg file override the configuration settings in the <model>.cfg and aastra.cfg files.
Reference
For information about configuration file precedence, see Chapter 1, the section, “Configuration File Precedence” on

Operational, Basic, and Advanced Parameters
The following sections provide the configuration parameters you can configure on the IP phone. Each parameter table
includes the name of the parameter, a description, the format, default value, range, and example. The table also provides
in which configuration file the parameter can be defined (aastra.cfg, <model>.cfg, <mac>.cfg).
Note:
Configuration parameters that you enter in the configuration files are NOT case sensitive.
