Type Usage
Master configuration file Configure settings that are common to all units, such as the SIP
server address, and the IP addresses of the DNS and NTP (Network
Time Protocol) servers managed by your phone system dealer. This
configuration file is used by all the units.
Example of the configuration file’s URL:
http://prov.example.com/Panasonic/ConfigCommon.cfg
Product configuration file Configure settings that are required for a particular model, such as
the default setting of the privacy mode. This configuration file is used
by all the units that have the same model name.
The same number of configuration files as models being used on the
network are stored on the provisioning server, and units with the
same model name download the corresponding configuration file.
Example of the configuration file’s URL:
http://prov.example.com/Panasonic/Config{MODEL}.cfg
Note
• When a unit requests the configuration file, "{MODEL}" is
replaced by the model name of the unit.
Standard configuration file Configure settings that are unique to each unit, such as the phone
number, user ID, password, etc.
The same number of configuration files as units are stored on the
provisioning server, and each unit downloads the corresponding
standard configuration file.
Example of the configuration file’s URL:
http://prov.example.com/Panasonic/Config{MAC}.cfg
Note
• When a unit requests the configuration file, "{MAC}" is
replaced by the MAC address of the unit.
Depending on the situation, you can use all 3 types of configuration files, and can also use only a standard
configuration file.
The above example shows only one possible way to use configuration files. Depending on the requirements
of your phone system dealer, there are a number of ways to use configuration files effectively.
Using 2 Types of Configuration Files
The following table shows an example of using 2 types of configuration files: a master configuration file to
configure settings common to all units, and product configuration files to configure settings common to
particular groups.
