Procedure
Step 1
Using an ASCII editor, create a phone-specific configuration file for each phone
that you plan to install. In the phone-specific configuration file, define values for
the following SIP parameters (where x a number 1 through 6):
•
linex_name—(Required) Number or e-mail address used when registering.
When entering a number, enter the number without any dashes. For example,
enter 555-1212 as 5551212. When entering an e-mail address, enter the
e-mail ID without the host name.
•
linex_shortname—(Optional) Name or number associated with the
linex_name as you want it to display on the phone’s LCD if the linex_name
length exceeds the allowable space in the display area. For example, if the
linex_name value is the phone number 111-222-333-4444, you can specify
34444 for this parameter to have 3444 display on the LCD instead.
Alternately, if the value for the linex_name parameter is the email address
“username@company.com”, you can specify the “username” to have just the
user name appear on the LCD instead.
This parameter is used for display-only purposes. If a value is not specified
for this parameter, the value in the linex_name variable is displayed.
•
linex_authname—(Required for line 1 when registration is enabled and the
proxy server requires authentication) Name used by the phone for
authentication if a registration is challenged by the proxy server during
initialization. If a value is not configured for the linex_authname parameter
for a line when registration is enabled, the value defined for line 1 is used. If
a value is not defined for line 1, the default line1_authname is
UNPROVISIONED.
•
linex_password—(Required for line 1 when registration is enabled and the
proxy server requires authentication) Password used by the phone for
authentication if a registration is challenged by the proxy server during
initialization. If a value is not configured for the linex_password parameter
for a line when registration is enabled, the value defined for line 1 is used. If
a value is not defined for line 1, the default line1_password is
UNPROVISIONED.
