Features/Auto Provisioning/Configuration Parameters

From Snom User Wiki

Introduction

Settings (configuration parameters) are input variables for the phone's firmware and determine all functional and operational processes on the phone. There are three ways to make changes to these parameters:

via the phone's user interface (keypad/display)
via the phone's Web User Interface (using an external web client/browser)
via Mass Deployment

In order to revert any changes one can perform a Factory Reset which will reset all parameters to their default values.

Physical Location

Configuration parameters are stored on the flash memory of the phone and are loaded on boot-up into the RAM:

Before firmware version 7 parameters were stored internally in a dedicated partition using a proprietory format.
Since firmware version 7 parameters are stored internally using XML syntax.

Write- protected system parameters are used internally and cannot be changed (read-only, marked by "&" symbol, e.g. mac&:0004132XXXXX Unprotected system parameters are used internally and can only be changed via Mass Deployment, e.g. Daylight Saving Time --> dst Free configurable parameters are all those settings which can be changed via Web User Interface (approx. 90 %). Only a part of them is also configurable via the Phone User Interface. Each free configurable parameter corresponds to exact one Web User Interface Setting, the relationship can be figured out as follows:
FW V6/7	FW V7	FW V1.X

In firmware versions 6 or 7 there is an updated description for each Web User Interface page available. Web User Interface Settings are listed by their english name and linked to its corresponding configuration parameter.
