STEP 2: Creation of the Configuration files
The configuration files are required to be hosted on the HTTP server. Here are the steps to
create the files.
Obtain a template file and create MN_Generic.cfg
1. Install one UC360 unit and configure it manually through the its administration interface.
2. Backup the configuration to a USB stick or micro SD card via Settings -> Advanced ->
Backup Import/Export -> USB or SD card Import/Export. You will need to know the admin
password to create this file - the default is admin.
Note that filename you provide (for example, backup) will be use to create two files.
The file with the name specified (e.g. backup) is a binary file. The file needed is
"MN_<MAC Addr>.cfg" located under /uc360/backups on the USB or SD card.
It is also possible to obtain this file using a browser by enabling the Web Server under
Settings -> Advanced -> Web Server Settings -> Web Server Enabled. If you do this, though,
the Web Server will be enabled in the XML configuration file you download and must be
disabled by editing the file if the desire is to have it disabled for all units.
3. If in the Advanced Settings, use the HOME key to Settings dialog and from there use
"Unmount Media" to cleanly unmount the USB / SD card.
4. Copy that entire "known working" configuration file to a text editor like notepad and save
it as MN_Generic.cfg.
5. Remove all entries in MN_Generic.cfg that will be set in MN_<MAC Addr>.cfg files, i.e.
those values that are not going to be generic to all UC360’s or other Mitel sets that use the
same mass deployment mechanism. One entry that should certainly be removed is
<user_list> which is unit specific.
Configure Per Unit Specific attributes in MN_<MAC Addr>.cfg files
1. Create MN_<MAC Addr>.cfg files for all UC360 units using their MAC Address using that
'known working' configuration file minus the entries we leave in the file MN_Generic.cfg.
2. Using the user-extension specific information <user_list> removed from the above saved
MN_Generic.cfg file. Enter the USER ID in <user_list>. Refer below for an example.
3. Put these files (MN_Generic.cfg & the MN_<Mac Addr>.cfg files) on the HTTP Server in
the directory configured in “STEP 1: DHCP Server Settings” on page 101.
