Import Configuration

You can configure the phone by importing a configuration file from your computer or

your local network. For more information about configuration file types and

configuration file formatting, see Provisioning Using Configuration Files on page 77.

o import a configuration file:

1. Click

to locate and open the configuration file.

2. Click

The phone will update its configuration.

Manually importing a configuration file differs from the auto-provisioning process in

that:

 The phone does not check whether the file has been loaded before. The

configuration file is processed whether or not it is different from the current

version.

 The phone will restart immediately after importing the configuration file,

without waiting for one minute of activity.

Export Configuration

You can export all the settings you have configured on the WebUI and save them as

a configuration file on your computer. You can then use this configuration file as a

backup, or use it to update other phones.

NOTE: The exported configuration file will contain the following passwords in plain

text:

 SIP account authentication password

 EAPOL password

 Firmware server password

 Provisioning server password

 Encryption passphrase

 LDAP server password

 Broadsoft directory server password.

Please ensure that you save the exported configuration file in a secure location.

To export the configuration file:

1. Click

The format of the exported file is <model name>_<mac address>.cfg. For

example, VSP735_0011A0OCF489.cfg.

Exporting a configuration file generates two header lines in the configuration file.

These header lines provide the model number and software version in the following

format:

#Model Number = xxxxxxx

#SW Version = xxxxxxx

You can use the exported file as a general configuration file, and duplicate the

settings across multiple units. However, ensure that you edit the file to remove any

MAC-specific SIP account settings before applying the general configuration file to

other units.
