Appendix C
Configuration Files
C.1 Introduction
The ZIP2x2 and ZIP2x1 phones obtain their configuration from three possible sources:
• what is saved in the phone’s memory
• what is saved in a common configuration file
• what is saved in a specific configuration file
If the Clear User Settings menu command (as described in section 8.4.3) is set to on each power on,
the phone reads the configuration files each time it resets, either by command or by power on,
and saves the contents to memory. This overwrites all user settings with the parameter values
defined by the configuration files.
This appendix describes the function, composition, and implementation of configuration files.
C.2 Configuration File Types
The phone obtains its configuration from two separate files: the common configuration file and
the specific configuration file.
C.2.1 Common Configuration File
The common configuration file sets parameters on all phones within an enterprise that are to
have the same values. Parameters that are normally set within a common configuration file define
the network configuration, SIP server interface characteristics, and other settings that are
common among all phones in an enterprise.
The common configuration file for the ZIP2x2 phone is called:
ZIP2x2_common.cfg
The common configuration file for the ZIP2x1 phone is called:
ZIP2x1_common.cfg
These files must be stored in the root directory of the TFTP server.
