Chapter 24: Manually Editing Configuration Files
Please note that before you edit ANY configuration file you should always perform a
backup to email first, and or copy the text from the file to notepad and save a copy of the
text prior to editing and reloading an updated configuration file. This is to avoid possible
corruption to the file and is an excellent safe practice to insure data is not lost for any
reason. To manually edit a Vdex configuration file, click on the
advanced tab
, and then
manual edit configs
. Using the Config file list, select the file you wish to edit, and click
open. Make the appropriate changes to the file, save the file and the reload the server for
the changes to go into effect. Figure 29 shows an example where the extensions.conf file
has been opened for review.
Tip
: Remember to backup the text of the Config file using notepad or by doing an email
backup prior to making any changes to any Config file.

Please Note
: Due to the Vdex being an asterisk based system it is possible to modify
configuration files to extend its feature set. Experienced Asterisk users will feel very
comfortable modifying these files. In most cases the files most commonly modified are
sip.conf, and extensions.conf.
