400HD Series IP Phones
Administrator's Manual 30 Document #: LTRT-11950
In addition, the Configuration file can provide URL paths (FTP, TFTP, HTTP, or HTTPS) to
where the additional files are located, as shown in the example below (shown in bolded font):
system/type=440HD
include http://10.10.10.10/440HD_<MAC>_voip.cfg
include https://remote-pc/vlan_conf.cfg
include tftp://10.10.10.10/440HD_<MAC>_network.cfg
include ftp://remote-pc/provisining_conf.cfg
Note: If no URL is provided in the Configuration file, the files are retrieved according to
the provisioning information (e.g. DHCP Option 160 as well as Option 66/67).

4.5 Creating Configuration Files using VoIProvision
Utility
When installing AudioCodes' IP Phones, the integrator or IT manager typically wishes to
configure each installed IP phone automatically. Using DHCP options or other methods, the
IP phone can be instructed to download a configuration file. This file is typically unique to
each IP phone, based on the MAC address. This MAC-specific configuration file is generated
with IP phone specific configuration parameters; such as, the extension ID, name and
authentication password.
Not all of the iPBX and SoftSwitch vendors (and especially the full solution vendors) include
provisioning in their interoperability programs. Therefore, AudioCodes, as an IP Phone
vendor, is required to provide a standalone provisioning tool that will enable the provisioning
of our phones in such environments.
AudioCodes now provides a tool that assists in the automatic generation of such
configuration files. These files can be generated for the initial configuration of the IP phones
and then later regenerated for subsequent configuration updates as desired.
4.5.1 Configuration File Format
The detailed format of the IP Phones configuration files are described in the appendix.
The following is an output example of an automatically generated MAC-specific file:
system/type=440HD
voip/line/0/enabled=1
voip/line/0/id=56832432
voip/line/0/auth_name=3423fdwer2tre
voip/line/0/auth_password=123456
include global.cfg
4.5.2 Global Configuration File
In addition to the MAC-specific files, it is recommended to maintain a single global
configuration file, which contains parameters that are common to all IP phones in the specific
site. The MAC-specific files can call the global file (using the 'include' method) as illustrated
in the above example. For more information, see 'Linking Additional Files using “Include”' in
the Administrator's Manual.
