When the IP Telephony Device resyncs, it receives the XML profile, remaps the
elements, as indicated by the alias map, and populates the User_ID_1_ and
Password_1_ parameters.
STEP 6 View the Line 1 tab to verify the new configuration.
NOTE The IP Telephony Device supports alias remapping of a limited number of
parameters. It is not meant to rename all parameters in its configuration.
Proprietary Profile Format
Firmware releases prior to 2.0.6 do not recognize the XML-based profiles
described so far in this chapter. Instead, the SIP Profiler Compiler tool (SPC)
converts a text-based profile definition into a proprietary binary format
understood by earlier versions of the firmware. The tool provides its own options
for encrypting the resulting binary profile.
The text-based profile understood by SPC uses a different syntax from the XML
profile presented earlier. It consists of a list of parameter-value pairs, with the
value in double quotes. Other minor syntax and parameter naming differences also
apply. The following example specifies values for two Line 1 parameters:.
Exercise
STEP 1 Obtain the SPC utility from Cisco.
Executables are available for the Windows Win32 environment, Linux ELF, and
OpenBSD.
STEP 2 Generate the text profile account.txt containing the two-line profile shown in the
following example:
User_ID[1] “17775551234” ;
Password[1] “512835907884” ;
