Boot Files, Configuration Files, and Resource Files
You can use boot files, configuration files, and resource files to configure device features and apply feature
settings to devices. You can create or edit these files using a text editor such as UltraEdit.
You can ask the distributor or Yealink FAE for template files. You can also obtain the template files online:

Boot Files
Teams devices support boot files. The boot files maximize the flexibility to allow you to customize features
and settings for multiple devices.
With the boot file, you can specify which configuration files should be downloaded. It is effective for you to
provision the devices in different deployment scenarios:
• For all devices
• For a group of devices
• For specific device models
• For a single device
Teams devices support two types of boot files: common boot file and MAC-Oriented boot file. You can use
the default boot template file “y000000000000.boot” to create MAC-Oriented boot file by making a copy
and renaming it.
Note: You can select whether to use the boot file or not according to your deployment scenario. If
you do not want to use the boot file, please go to Configuration Files .

Common Boot File
Common boot file, named y000000000000.boot, is effective for all devices. You can use a common boot
file to apply common feature settings to all of the devices rather than a single device.
MAC-Oriented Boot File
MAC-Oriented boot file is named <MAC>.boot. It will only be effective for a specific device. In this way, you
have high permission to control each device by making changes on a per-device basis.
You can create a MAC-Oriented boot file for each device by making a copy and renaming the boot template
file (y000000000000.boot). For example, if your device MAC address is 00156574B150, rename the
template file as 00156574b150.boot (lowercase).
Tip: MAC address, a unique 12-digit serial number, is assigned to each device. You can obtain it
from the bar code on the back of the device.
Boot File Attributes
The following table lists the attributes you need to know in the boot template file.
