MAC-Oriented CFG file
A MAC-Oriented CFG file contains parameters unique to a particular phone. It will only be
effectual for a specific Skype for Business phone. The MAC-Oriented CFG file is named after the
MAC address of the Skype for Business phone. For example, if the MAC address of a Skype for
Business phone is 00156574B150, the name of the MAC-Oriented CFG file must be
00156574b150.cfg (case-sensitive).
Central Provisioning
Skype for Business phones can be centrally provisioned from a provisioning server using the
configuration files (<y0000000000xx>.cfg and <MAC>.cfg). You can use a text-based editing
application to edit configuration files, and then store configuration files to a provisioning server.
For more information on the provisioning server, refer to Provisioning Server on page 23.
Skype for Business phones can obtain the provisioning server address during startup. Then
Skype for Business phones download configuration files from the provisioning server, resolve
and update the configurations written in configuration files. This entire process is called auto
provisioning. For more information on auto provisioning, refer to

.
Obtaining Configuration Files and Resource Files
When configuring particular features, you may need to upload resource files (e.g., language) to
Skype for Business phones. If the resource file is to be used for all Skype for Business phones of
the same model, the resource file access URL is best specified in the <y0000000000xx>.cfg file.
However, if you want to specify the desired phone to use the resource file, the resource file
access URL should be specified in the <MAC>.cfg file.
The names of the Yealink-supplied template files are:
For example,
000.GUI.English.lang
