• [USER_CONFIG] — section for IP Deskphone-specific configuration file. This section header
triggers the IP Deskphone to attempt to download an IP Deskphone-specific user configuration
file
IP Deskphone-specific configuration files support customizing the IP Deskphone on a per-IP
Deskphone/user level. Parameters in the device configuration file can be overwritten with a IP
Deskphone-specific configuration file. If the IP Deskphone encounters a [USER_CONFIG]
section while parsing the 12x0SIP.cfg configuration file, the IP Deskphone downloads the IP
Deskphone-specific configuration file SIP<mac id>.cfg.
Mandatory keywords in the provisioning file are:
• VERSION [xxxxxx] — where xxxxxx is a six- to ten-digit number representing the version of
the file on the server. The version of the module is specified in this field. The command is used
for version comparison in AUTO mode. VERSION is mandatory for all sections. In the FW
section, the software version of the load located on the provisioning server must be entered in
this field. For all other sections, VERSION is just a counter that can be incremented if it is
necessary to download a new file version.
Note:
The version number of the firmware [FW] can be longer, up to 19 characters, and must
follow this format:
Example: SIP12x004.04.09.00
Caution:
The version number is stored permanently on the IP Deskphone until a higher version
number is downloaded. However, if the Forced option is in the 12x0SIP.cfg file, then the
file is forced to download and the version number in the IP Deskphone is overwritten with
the version number in the 12x0SIP.cfg file.
• DOWNLOAD_MODE [AUTO | FORCED] — defines whether the version is checked. This
command is optional. If this command is not present, AUTO mode is used as the default.
- AUTO - This mode compares the version of the module from the VERSION field and the
version of the module version stored in the FLASH memory of the IP Deskphone. The file
download is initiated only if the version specified is higher than the current version stored in
the IP Deskphone. If the version is not applicable, as in the case of language files, the date
of the file must be used for the decision.
Caution:
The version number stored in the FLASH is permanent until a higher number is
downloaded from the provisioning file or you select Srvcs > Check for Updates on the
IP Deskphone.
- FORCED - This mode forces the software download process. FORCED can be used for
software downgrade procedures.
Note:
In FORCED or AUTO DOWNLOAD_MODE, the version number is overwritten with each
software download.
