Initializing an IP Touch 40x8 EE phone
 
3.3.1. 
SIP configuration files 
There are two configuration files. 
 
The first file, named “sipconfig.txt”, is the global configuration file and it should contain 
parameters applying to all phones found on the system (proxy IP address, Registrar server IP 
address, preferred codecs, SNTP server IP address …). Again, this file is downloaded only if the 
download server address is provisioned, using the download protocol indicated in the 
corresponding parameter (HTTP(S) or TFTP). 
This file is optional since all parameters may be configured in the specific configuration file. It is 
optional from an administrator point of view: in other words, the phone always tries to download 
this file. If the file does not exist at server side, the phone receives a “file not found” error and 
continues with the next file seamlessly. 
 
The second file, named “sipconfig-MacAddress.txt”, is specific to each phone found on the 
system and as such, should only contain parameters dedicated to a phone (user name…). 
However, this rule is not enforced. 
The name of this file is constructed by inserting the physical address of the phone (in 
hexadecimal without columns) before the “.txt” extension. As an example, if the phone physical 
address is “00:80:9F:56:07:AE”, the specific file name will be “sipconfig-00809F5607AE.txt”. 
This file is mandatory since it contains configuration parameters specific to each phone. Again, it 
is mandatory from an administrator point of view: the phone always tries to download this file, 
but if it does not exist at server side and if the phone has already some parameters stored in 
FLASH memory (see below), it continues its initialization with these flashed parameters. 
The parameters, provisioned using the global configuration file, are overwritten by specific 
configuration file parameters if both exist.

Description. 
3.3.2. 
SIP binary files
 
The  SIP  binary  files  must  be  set  into  the  server  at  the  same  location  as  the  sipconfig.txt  and 
sipconfig-MacAddress.txt configuration files. 
 
For IP Touch 4008EE phone, the available binary files are: 
–  noesip4008  (application) 
–  datsip4008 (resources including the ringing melodies)
