IP Phone Configuration Profiles
The IP phone configuration profile defines the parameter values for a specific
device. The configuration profile can be used in two formats:
•
Open (XML-style) format
•
Proprietary, plain-text format
The XML-style format lets you use standard tools to compile the parameters and
values. To protect confidential information contained in the configuration profile,
this type of file is generally delivered from the provisioning server to the IP phone
over a secure channel provided by HTTPS.
The XML file consists of a series of elements (one per configuration parameter),
encapsulated within the element tags <flat-profile> … </flat-profile>. The
encapsulated elements specify values for individual parameters. The following is
an example of a valid XML profile:
<flat-profile>
<Admin_Passwd>some secret</Admin_Passwd>
<Upgrade_Enable>Yes</Upgrade_Enable>
</flat-profile>
