M100 KLE Administrator and Provisioning Manual
Configuration File Tips and Security
All configuration settings are initially stored in a configuration template file. Copy, rename,
and edit the template file to create a general configuration file and the MAC-specific
configuration files you will need. You can store the general configuration file and the
MAC-specific files on your provisioning server.
Do not modify the configuration file header line that includes the model and firmware
version.
To save yourself time and effort, consider which settings will be common to all (or the
majority of) M100 KLE 4-Line base stations. Such settings might include call settings,
language, and NAT settings. You can then edit those settings in the configuration template
and save it as the general configuration file. The remaining settings will make up the
MAC-specific configuration file, which you will have to copy and edit for each M100 KLE.
Clearing parameters with %NULL in configuration file
For configuration file parameters that can have a text string value, you can clear the value
of the parameter by applying the value %NULL in the configuration file.
For example:
sip_account.1.display_name = %NULL
Guidelines for the MAC-Specific configuration file
The M100 KLE downloads the MAC-specific configuration file after the general
configuration file. You must create a MAC-specific configuration file for each M100 KLE in
your system. The file name must contain the M100 KLE MAC address, which is printed on
a label on the bottom of the device. For example, a Snom M100 KLE 4-Line base station
with the MAC address of 00:11:A0:10:6F:2D would download the
M100
KLE_0011A0106F2D.cfg
file.
The MAC-specific configuration file contains settings intended exclusively for that M100
KLE 4-Line base station. Such settings will include SIP account settings such as display
name, user ID, and authentication ID.
When renaming a MAC-specific configuration file, ensure the filename is all upper
case.
