D.1.3.3 Using AudioCodes' VoIProvision Tool
This section shows how to automatically generate multiple MAC-specific <private>.cfg files
using AudioCodes' VoIProvision tool. The tool generates a separate cfg file for each IP
phone in the customer enterprise.
 To automatically generate MAC-specific <private>.cfg files:
1. Place AudioCodes' VoIProvision tool (VoIProvision.exe) in a folder on your pc.
2. Place the global.cfg configuration file that you prepared, together with the csv file and
the template file, in the same folder.
3. Run the VoIProvision exe; the tool automatically generates the <private>.cfg files.
USAGE: VoIProvision <csv file><template file><.cfg file>
Note: AudioCodes' VoIProvision tool can run on both Linux and Windows platforms. The
tool initially parses the csv file to generate the list of tags. The tool then reads each line
record of values in the csv file and for each line record, does this:
• Parses the line record to create a list of values
• Opens the template file
• Generates the cfg file name and creates a new cfg file
• Reads the template file, associates the mapped tags with actual values from the csv
file, and writes the result to the cfg file
• Closes the cfg file and template file
Example of an automatically generated MAC-specific file:
system/type=420HD
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
The generated configuration (cfg) files use a similar format to the template file only the tags
are replaced with the values read by the VoIProvision tool from the csv file. The tag in the csv
file which defines the MAC address is used as the cfg file name.
D.1.3.3.1 Creating Manually a <private>.cfg Configuration File
You can manually create a <private>.cfg configuration file using a standard ASCII,
text-based program such as Notepad. The file name must be the phone's MAC address:
<phone's MAC address>.cfg. The syntax of the configuration file is as follows:
<parameter name>=<value>
Ensure that:

No spaces are on either side of the equals (=) sign

Each parameter is on a new line
Below is an example of part of a configuration file:
system/type=440HD
voip/line/0/enabled=1
voip/line/0/id=1234
voip/line/0/description=440HD
voip/line/0/auth_name=1234
voip/line/0/auth_password=4321
