Setting Parameters in Configuration Files
You can set specific configuration parameters in the configuration files for
configuring you IP phone. The aastra.cfg and <mac>.cfg files are stored on the
server. The aastra.cfg file stores global IP phone configuration settings. The
<mac>.cfg file stores configuration settings specific to the IP phone with that
MAC address. When you restart the IP phone, these files are downloaded to the
phone.
If you make changes to the phone configuration, the changes are stored in a local
configuration on the phone (not on the server).
Configuration changes made to the <mac>.cfg file override the configuration
settings in the aastra.cfg file.
