E.1.2 Preparing a global.cfg Configuration File
The network administrator can prepare a configuration file containing parameter settings
common to all users in the enterprise. The file can be named global.cfg.
 To prepare a global.cfg configuration file:
1. Change the default settings of parameters unique to your enterprise customers
(e.g., Language).
2. Make sure the phone functions as expected.
3. Save the modified configuration parameter settings to a file. Name the file
global.cfg.
E.1.3 Generating MAC-specific <private>.cfg Configuration Files
MAC-specific <private>.cfg configuration files that will contain parameter settings that are
unique to each user in the enterprise can be generated.
 To generate MAC-specific <private>.cfg configuration files:
1. Prepare a csv file (see the next section below)
2. Prepare a template file (see Section E.1.3.2)
3. Automatically generate MAC-specific <private>.cfg configuration files using
VoIProvision tool (see Section E.1.3.3)
E.1.3.1 Preparing a csv File
Export a csv file from your enterprise customer's IP-PBX or another database.
The csv file must list the phones in the enterprise, including MAC address, user name,
extension ID, and password of each phone. The csv file contains the tagged records for each
phone. When opened as a text file, the csv file looks like this:
mac,name,id,password
00908F123456,Jonathan,4071,12345
00908F123457,David,4418,12345
Table E-1: CSV File Description
mac name id password
00908F123456 Jonathan 4071
12345
00908F123457 David 4418
12345
Note:
• The first line of the csv file contains the list of tags (e.g., mac,name,id).
• The remainder of the csv file contains a line record per cfg file
(e.g., 00908f112233,4071,Eitan).
• There is no restriction on the format of the tags (e.g., tag or @tag@).
