This example shows an overrides file for one handset that shows what the user has done to
change from the default or configured settings:
 set the normal notification profile (np) to a silent ring, etc.
 set the selected notification profile to silent,
 has forwarded a call to extension 0567,
 changed various PTT channel settings.
Deleting the override file
The administrator might want to delete all overrides. This can be done both remotely and if you
have access to the phone.
With phone access
1 Power off the phone.
2 Modify the override files to have empty <PHONE_CONFIG> tags. Open the override file
and remove all tags. The file should only have these active parameters:
<PHONE_CONFIG>
</PHONE_CONFIG>
3 Power the phone back on.
Remotely
The remote method could work in conjunction with a shift change where the likelihood of the
phones power cycling is high. It is also possible to automate this process with scripts.
1 Modify the override files to have empty <PHONE_CONFIG> tags. Open the override file
and remove all tags. The file should only have these active parameters:
<PHONE_CONFIG>
</PHONE_CONFIG>
2 Make the override file read-only. This can be done at the individual file level, or (if a
specific Override directory is specified in the configuration files) by making the entire
directory read-only.
3 Wait for the phone to power cycle at least once.
4 Allow the override file to be writable, if desired.
Contacts
Each handset can store up to 9999 contacts in its local Contact Directory. The Contact Directory
can be viewed on the handset by navigating to Home> Contacts / Call Lists> Contact
Directory. This contact list is also written to the central provisioning server and stored in a
Contacts Directory whenever any information is changed. Contact information is also stored
