Chapter 5:
Understanding the Files
Written by the Handsets
The Spectralink 84-Series handsets can write several types of information into directories set up
on the central provisioning server. These directories serve as repositories for the different types
of files written by the handsets and allow an administrator to easily find needed information. If
separate directories are not provisioned, and if the handset has write privileges, all files will be
written to the root directory.
The
Spectralink 84-Series Deployment Guide
explains how to set up directories on the central
provisioning server (or elsewhere) so that the files written by the handset can be sorted and
viewed efficiently. These directories must have full read and write access. The “Directory
element” in the table below is referring to the directories that are provisioned in the master
configuration file. The Directory names tell the handset where to write the files it produces. For
example:
Filenames for the files produced by the handset start with the MACaddress and use an
extension to signify the type of information in it. E.g. 00907a0cd989-phone.cfg is the filename of
an override file created when the user changed a parameter in the handset keypad menus.
If User Profiles are deployed, files start with the login name instead of the MACaddress. E.g.
lgates-phone.cfg.
Log files are written and stored as text files. All other files are written and stored as .xml files.

LOG_FILE_DIRECTORY
This is the directory where the
handset will write its log files.
-boot.log
-app.log
Override
OVERRIDES_DIRECTORY
Parameters set in the .cfg files can
be overridden when changed in the
Web Configuration Utility or in the
handset menus using its keypad.
This directory stores these
overrides by MACaddress so that
they are available when the handset
restarts.
-phone.cfg
-web.cfg
Contacts
CONTACTS_DIRECTORY
Contacts are stored by
MACaddress in this directory as a
backup so that they can be
reloaded when the handset reboots.
-directory.xml
Calls
CALL_LISTS_DIRECTORY
Call lists are stored by handset or
by User Profile.
-calls.xml
