Phone user interface makes configurations available to users and administrators; but the
Advanced/Advanced Settings option is only available to administrators and requires an
administrator password (default: admin).
Halo series phones support two configuration template files: Common CFG file and MAC-Oriented
CFG file.
Common CFG file, named config.xml, contains parameters that affect the basic operation of the IP
phone, such as language and volume. It will be effective for all IP phones.
MAC-Oriented CFG file, which is named after the MAC address of the IP phone. For example, if
the MAC address of an IP phone is 3C28A6200088, the name of MAC-Oriented CFG file is config.
3C28A6200088.xml.
It contains parameters unique to a particular phone, such as account registration. It will only be
effective for a MAC-specific IP phone.
EDS (Easy Deployment Server) is a server which provides the information for ALE SIP devices to
connect to the provision server. It has a web based interface for the user to manage such
information. The user needs to input the provision server address for the device. If the server is
SSL/TLS based, a certificate is also needed. The MAC address of SIP device is associated with
provisioning server address and certificate. When the SIP devices connect to EDS server, it can
acquire provision server information from it and download configuration file from provision server
automatically.
