Phone-Specific Configuration Parameters
Parameter
Required or Optional
Description
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. Alternatively, if the value for the
linex_name parameter is the e-mail address “[email protected]”,
you can specify the “username” to have just the user name appear on the
LCD instead.
This parameter is used for display only. 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.
linex_displayname
Optional
Identification as it should appear for caller identification purposes. For
example, instead of [email protected] appearing on phones that have
caller ID, you can specify John Doe in this parameter to have John Doe
appear on the callee end instead. If a value is not specified for this
parameter, nothing is used.
