MAC-Oriented CONF file
A MAC-Oriented CONF file contains parameters unique to a particular phone. The
MAC-Oriented CONF file is named after the MAC address of the IP phone. For example, if the
MAC address of a SP-R52P IP phone is 0C110500184B, the name of the MAC-Oriented CONF
file must be r0C110500184B.conf.
Central Provisioning
IP phones can be centrally provisioned from a provisioning server using the configuration files
(<r0000000000xx >. conf and <MAC>. conf). IP phones support downloading configuration files
using any of the following protocols: FTP, TFTP, HTTP, HTTPS and PnP.
IP phones can obtain the address of the provisioning server during startup. 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.
When modifying parameters, learn the following:
 Parameters in configuration files override those stored in the IP phone’s flash memory by
default.
 The .conf 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
1) Associate only one value with one variable.
2) Separate each variable name and value with an equal sign.
3) Set only one variable per line.
4) Put the variable and value on the same line, and do not break the line.
5) Comment the variable on a separated line. Use the pound (#) delimiter to distinguish
the comments.
Configuring Basic Network Parameters
In order to get your IP phones running, you must perform basic network setup, such as IP
address and subnet mask configuration. This section describes how to configure basic
network parameters for IP phones.
