Network Parameter Procedure
In the following procedure, you will change parameter values in the
8400-initial-setup.cfg configuration template.
To modify the network configuration file:
1
Copy 8400-initial-setup.cfg from the UC Software 4.0.0 build into the
FTP directory you created in Set Up the FTP Server on page 11 .
For example, C:\FTP_root\SpectraLink8400\8400-initial-setup.cfg
2
Open 8400-initial-setup.cfg in an XML editor.
3
Enable the use of device parameters (
device.set=”1”
).
For detailed guidance on what to set these parameters to, see Best Practices Guide
to Network Design Considerations for SpectraLink 8400 and 8000 Series Wireless
Telephones
at http://support.polycom.com/support/spectralink8400 .
A sample 8400-initial-setup.cfg file is attached to this guide to assist with
configuration of the SpectraLink 8400 Series Handsets.
Polycom recommends that you use the latest version of Adobe Reader to view the
contents of this guide and for access to the attached configuration template. Click
the paperclip icon on the left-hand side to locate the attachment.
Note
Polycom recommends that you use an XML editor to create/edit the configuration
files. This will enable you to save all configuration files that you create as valid XML
files.
If the configuration files are not valid, they will not load on the handset. In this case,
an error message will be logged to the provisioning server.
You must enable the global
device.set
parameter when the initial installation is
done, and it must remain enabled.
Two device parameters exist for every configuration parameter—
device.xxx.set
and
device.xxx
—and both must be modified in the
configuration file.
For example, if you want to change device.wifi.enabled , you must set
device.wifi.enabled.set
in the configuration file you modify on the WCS.
