Cisco IP Phone Models 7905G and 7912G Administrator Guide (SIP)
OL-4277-01
Chapter 6 Configuring the Cisco IP Phone Models 7905G and 7912G Using a TFTP Server
Using Profiles with TFTP Configuration
TFTP configuration works as follows:
1. The Cisco IP Phone model 7905G will try to download the profile
ldxxxxxxxxxxxx from the TFTP server. The Cisco IP Phone model 7912G will
try to download the profile gkxxxxxxxxxxxx from the TFTP server. In these
file names, each xx is the two-digit lowercase hexadecimal representation of
each integer in the phone’s MAC address.
2. If the ldxxxxxxxxxxxx or the gkxxxxxxxxxxxx profile does not exist, the
Cisco IP Phone 7905G will try to download profile lddefault.cfg, and the
Cisco IP Phone 7912G will try to download profile gkdefault.cfg
Use the ldxxxxxxxxxxxx or the gkxxxxxxxxxxxx profile to configure a particular
Cisco IP Phone. Use the lddefault.cfg or the gkdefault.cfg profile to
simultaneously configure multiple phones of the same model with the same
information.
Parameter values in a profile will overwrite any values configured through the
web or through the phone configuration menus when the phone powers up or
refreshes.
Note If you name a profile something other than ldxxxxxxxxxxxx or gkxxxxxxxxxxxx,
you must configure DHCP with the name of the profile or else the phone will not
recognize it.
