name of the MAC-Oriented boot file is 00156574b150.boot (case-sensitive).
Configuration Files
The configuration files are valid CFG files that can be created or edited using a text editor such
as UltraEdit. An administrator can deploy and maintain a mass of Yealink IP phones
automatically through configuration files stored on a provisioning server.
Yealink configuration files consist of:
Common CFG File
MAC-Oriented CFG File
MAC-local CFG File
Custom CFG File
Common CFG File
Common CFG file, named <y0000000000xx>.cfg, contains parameters that affect the basic
operation of the IP phone, such as language and volume. It will be effectual for all IP phones of
the same model. The common CFG file has a fixed name for each IP phone model.
The following table lists the name of the common CFG file for each IP phone model:
MAC-Oriented CFG File
MAC-Oriented CFG file, named <MAC>.cfg, contains parameters unique to a particular phone,
such as account registration. It will only be effectual for a specific IP phone.
The MAC-Oriented CFG file is named after the MAC address of the IP phone. MAC address, a
unique 12-digit serial number assigned to each phone, can be obtained from the bar code on
the back of the IP phone. For example, if the MAC address of an IP phone is 00156574B150, the
name of the MAC-Oriented CFG file is 00156574b150.cfg (case-sensitive).
MAC-local CFG File
MAC-local CFG file, named <MAC>-local.cfg, contains changes associated with non-static
settings that users make via web user interface and phone user interface (for example, updates
to time and date formats, ring tones, dial plan and DSS keys). This file generates only if the value
of the parameter “static.auto_provision.custom.protect” is set to 1.
The MAC-local CFG file is also named after the MAC address (the bar code label on the back of
