CFG file is named after the MAC address of the IP phone. For example, if the MAC
address of a SIP-T22P IP phone is 001565113af8, names of these two configuration files
must be: y000000000005.cfg and 001565113af8.cfg.
The name of the Common CFG file for each IP phone model is:
SIP-T28P: y000000000000.cfg
SIP-T26P: y000000000004.cfg
SIP-T22P: y000000000005.cfg
SIP-T21P: y000000000034.cfg
SIP-T20P: y000000000007.cfg
SIP-T19P: y000000000031.cfg
In order to deploy IP phones using the configuration files (<y0000000000xx>.cfg and
<MAC>.cfg), you need to use a text-based editing application to edit configuration
files, and store configuration files to a provisioning server. IP phones support
downloading configuration files using any of the following protocols: FTP, TFTP, HTTP and
HTTPS.
IP phones can obtain the address of the provisioning server during startup through one
of the following processes: Zero Touch, PnP, DHCP Options and Phone Flash. Then IP
phones download configuration files from the provisioning server, resolve and update
the configurations written in configuration files. This entire process is called auto
provisioning. For more information on auto provisioning, refer to

.
When modifying parameters, learn the following:
Parameters in configuration files override those stored in the IP phone’s flash
memory.
The .cfg extension of configuration files must be in lowercase.
Each line in a configuration file must use the following format and adhere to the
following rules:
variable-name = value
- Associate only one value with one variable.
- Separate variable name and value with equal sign.
- Set only one variable per line.
- Put the variable and value on the same line, and do not break the line.
- Comment the variable on a separated line. Use the pound (#) delimiter to
distinguish the comments.
IP phones can accept two sources of configuration data:
Downloaded from configuration files
Changed on the phone user interface or the web user interface
