The Customization Files

Last Updated : Dec 09, 2020 |
Prolog information
When instructed to load any customization files available, the customer system requests the following .tar format archive files. It then downloads and unpacks those files (see How the Customer Systems Load and Use the Files). Note that the limit for file size is 10MB.
The supported files and their contents are:
File
Contents and Role
CustomPhoneFiles.tar
A file with this name can be used to hold files (other than firmware) for use by the system’s phones. See The CustomPhoneFiles.tar File (Phone Settings and Image Files).
  • A 46xxspecials.txt file containing phone settings that are in addition to the auto-generated 46xxsettings.txt settings file the customer system provides.
  • Any screen saver and/or background image files for the phones as specified in the 46xxspecials.txt file.
CustomTemplates.tar
A file with this name can be used to hold .xml format SIP trunk template files that can be used when adding SIP lines. See The CustomTemplates.tar File (SIP Trunk Templates).
  • A maximum of 4 SIP line templates are supported by any individual system.
  • Templates can be exported from a working configuration using IP Office Manager.
CustomData.xml
This file is only loaded once when a system is first connected to COM. It is used to set the default values of various configuration settings. See The "CustomData.xml" File.
Other:
  • Care must be taken with the planning of the files included and the contents of those files. Currently there is no remote method through COM for removing incorrect and invalid files from systems. Instead, such files need to be overwritten by a corrected file.
  • Files other than those listed above should not be included in the .tar. Any additional files are still unpacked and so may affect correct system operation.
