SIP configuration files
There are two configuration files.
The first file, named “sipconfig.txt”, is the global configuration file and it should contain
parameters applying to all phones found on the system (proxy P address, Registrar server P
address, preferred codecs, SNTP server P address …). Again, this file is downloaded only if the
download server address is provisioned, using the download protocol indicated in the
corresponding parameter (HTTP(S) or TFTP).
This file is optional since all parameters may be configured in the specific configuration file. t is
optional from an administrator point of view: in other words, the phone always tries to download
this file. f the file does not exist at server side, the phone receives a “file not found” error and
continues with the next file seamlessly.
The second file, named “sipconfig-MacAddress.txt”, is specific to each phone found on the
system and as such, should only contain parameters dedicated to a phone (user name…).
However, this rule is not enforced.
The name of this file is constructed by inserting the physical address of the phone (in
hexadecimal without columns) before the “.txt” extension. As an example, if the phone physical
address is “00:80:9F:56:07:AE”, the specific file name will be “sipconfig-00809F5607AE.txt”.
This file is mandatory since it contains configuration parameters specific to each phone. Again, it
is mandatory from an administrator point of view: the phone always tries to download this file,
but if it does not exist at server side and if the phone has already some parameters stored in
FLASH memory (see below), it continues its initialization with these flashed parameters.
The parameters, provisioned using the global configuration file, are overwritten by specific
configuration file parameters if both exist.
For more information on the structure of the sip configuration files, see: § S P Configuration Files
Description.
3.3.2.
SIP binary files
The S P binary files must be set into the server at the same location as the sipconfig.txt and
sipconfig-MacAddress.txt configuration files.
For P Touch 4008EE phone, the available binary files are:
– noesip4008 (application)
– datsip4008 (resources including the ringing melodies)
