The MAC address is a 12-digit hexadecimal number on a label on the back of the phone and on the
outside of the shipping box.
2 Create a per-phone phone<MACaddress>.cfg file.
Tip: Choosing the File Name for a Per-Phone Configuration File
Do not use the following file names as your per-phone file name: <MACaddress>-phone.cfg,
<MACaddress>-web.cfg, <MACaddress>-app.log, or <MACaddress>-license.cfg. These file names
are used by the phone itself to store user preferences (overrides) and logging information.
3 Add the phone registration parameters to the file, for example reg.1.address, reg.1.label,
and reg.1.type.
4 Create a per-site site<location>.cfg file.
For example, add the SIP server or feature parameters such as
voIpProt.server.1.address and feature.corporateDirectory.enabled.
Settings: Configuring Your Phone for Local Conditions
Most of the default settings are typically adequate; however, if SNTP settings are not available
through DHCP, edit the SNTP GMT offset, and possibly the SNTP server address for the correct

policy dictates (see <httpd/>). Change the default location settings for user interface language and
time and date format (see <lcl/>)
5 Create a master configuration file by performing the following steps:
a Enter the name of each per-phone and per-site configuration files created in steps 2 and 3 in the
CONFIG_FILES attribute of the master configuration file (000000000000.cfg). For help using
the master configuration file, see Understand the Master Configuration File.
For example, add a reference to phone<MACaddress>.cfg.
b (Optional) Edit the LOG_FILE_DIRECTORY attribute of master configuration file so that it points
to the log file directory.
c (Optional) Edit the CONTACT_DIRECTORY attribute of master configuration file so that it points to
the organization’s contact directory.
d (Optional) Edit the USER_PROFILES_DIRECTORY attribute of master configuration file if you
intend to enable the User Login feature.
For more information, see Set User Profiles.
e (Optional) Edit the CALL_LISTS_DIRECTORY attribute of master configuration file so that it
points to the user call lists.
