Polycom Configuration Files

IC phone features require changes to the Polycom configuration files. The SIP configuration file (sip.cfg) contains SIP protocol and core configuration settings that typically affect an entire installation. This file is supplied in the Polycom firmware.

<Ethernet address>.cfg This file is unique for each phone. This bootstrap file tells the phone which configuration files to load.

The Ethernet address part of the file name is the MAC address of the phone. < Ethernet address>.cfg is the term used in the Polycom documentation.
phone name-<Ethernet address>.cfg This file is unique for each phone. It contains phone configuration settings for one phone.
 
The phone name part of this file name is the individual phone name you specify in this tool. If you import data to Interaction Administrator, it is also the station name for the phone.

Manual configuration

Polycom configuration files are in XML format. After you create these files, it is easier to modify them using an XML editor.

Note: Genesys recommends that you do not modify the sip.cfg file.
