image_version	Firmware version that the phone should use. Enter the name of the image version as it is released by Cisco. Do not enter the filename extension (.bin). Note You cannot change the image version by changing the filename because the version is also built into the file header. Trying to change the image version by changing the filename causes the firmware to fail when it compares the version in the header against the filename.
language	(Optional) This parameter is for future use. English is the only value that is currently supported.
linex_authname	(Phone-specific; optional) Name used by the phone for authentication if a registration is challenged by the proxy server during initialization. It is required only if a proxy server requires authentication from phones. If a value is not configured for the linex_authname parameter when registration is enabled, the default name is used. Default is UNPROVISIONED. The x argument can be 1 or 2.
linex_displayname	(Phone-specific; optional) Identification as it should appear for caller-identification purposes. For example, instead of jdoe@company.com appearing on phones that have caller ID, you can specify User A in this parameter to have User A appear on the called party display. If a value is not specified for this parameter, nothing is used. The x argument can be 1 or 2.
linex_name	(Phone-specific) Number or e-mail address for use when registering. Enter a number without dashes. For example, enter 555-0100 as 5550100. Enter an e-mail ID without the host name. The x argument can be 1 or 2.
linex_password	(Phone-specific; optional) Password used by the phone for authentication if a registration is challenged by the proxy server during initialization. If a value is not configured for the linex_password parameter when registration is enabled, the default password is used. Default is UNPROVISIONED. Valid values for x are (Cisco IP 7969G phone) 1 to 6 and (Cisco IP 7940G phone) 1 to 2.
linex_shortname	Labels a line key with a name other than the directory number.
local_cfwd_enable	Whether the phone can do local call forwarding. This is a boolean field; it is either enabled or disabled. Valid values are 0 (disable) and 1 (enable). Default is 1.
logo_url	(Optional) Location of the company logo file. This logo appears on the phone display. The background space allocated for the image is 90 x 56 pixels. Images that are larger than this will automatically be scaled down to 90 x 56 pixels. The recommended file size for the image is from 5 to 15 Kb. For example, use logo_url: "http://10.10.10.10/companylogo.bmp". Note This parameter supports Windows 256 color bitmap format only. CMXML PhoneImage objects are not supported for this parameter. Using anything other than a Windows bitmap (.bmp) file can cause unpredictable results.
messages_uri	(Optional) Configures the voice-mail number that is dialed when the messages button is pressed. Value is typically a phone number but can be a URI.
mwi_status	(Optional) Displays the message waiting status. Note You cannot set this parameter in the configuration file.
nat_address	(Optional) WAN IP address of the Network Address Translation (NAT) or firewall server. Value is either a dotted IP address or a DNS name.
nat_enable	(Optional) Enables NAT. Valid values are 0 (disable) and 1 (enable). Default is 0. •If NAT is enabled, the Contact header appears as follows: `Contact: sip:lineN_name@nat_address:voip_control_port` If the nat_address is invalid or UNPROVISIONED, the Contact header appears as follows: `Contact: sip:lineN_name@phone_ip_address:voip_control_port` and the Via header appears as follows: `Via: SIP/2.0/UDP phone_ip_address:voip_control_port` •If NAT is enabled, the Session Description Protocol (SDP) message uses the nat_address and an RTP port between the start_media_port and the end_media_port range in the C and M fields. All RTP traffic is sourced from the port advertised in the SDP message.
nat_received_processing	(Optional) Enables NAT received processing. Valid values are 0 (disable) and 1 (enable). Default is 0. If nat_received_processing is enabled, and the received= tag is in the Via header of the 200 OK response from a REGISTER, the IP address in the received= tag is used instead of the nat_address in the Contact header. If this switch occurs, the phone unregisters the old IP address and reregisters with the new IP address.
network_media_type	(Optional) Ethernet port negotiation mode. Valid values are as follows: •Auto—Port is autonegotiated. •Full100—Port is configured to be a full-duplex, 100-MB connection. •Half100—Port is configured to be a half-duplex, 100-MB connection. •Full10—Port is configured to be a full-duplex, 10-MB connection. •Half10—Port is configured to be a half-duplex, 10-MB connection. Default is Auto.
network_port2_type	(Optional) Configures the device type that is connected to port 2 of the phone. Valid values are Hub/Switch and PC. Default is Hub/Switch. Note If the value is PC, port 2 can be connected only to a PC. If you are not sure about the connection, use the Hub/Switch default value. Specifying the PC option and then connecting port 2 to a switch results in spanning-tree loops and network confusion.
outbound_proxy	(Optional) IP address of the outbound proxy server. You can use either a dotted IP address or a DNS name.
outbound_proxy_port	(Optional) Port number of the outbound proxy server. Default is 5060. When an outbound proxy is enabled, all SIP requests are sent to the outbound proxy server instead of to the proxyx_address. All responses continue to reconcile the normal Via processing rules. The media stream is not routed through the outbound proxy. NAT and outbound proxy modes can be independently enabled or disabled. The received= tag is added to the Via header of all responses if there is no received= tag in the uppermost Via header and if the source IP address is different from the IP address in the uppermost Via header. Keep the following rules in mind: •If a received= tag is in the uppermost Via header, the response is sent back to the IP address contained in the received= tag. •If there is no received= tag and the IP address in the uppermost Via header is different from the source IP address, the response is sent back to the source IP address.
phone_label	(Phone-specific; optional) Text to display on the top right status line of the LCD. This field is for end-user display only and has no effect on caller identification or messaging. For example, a phone label can display "User A's phone." Limited to 11 characters.

proxy_emergency	(Optional) IP address of the emergency proxy server or gateway. Enter this address in IP dotted-decimal notation.
proxy_emergency_port	(Optional) Port number of the emergency proxy server. Default is 5060.
proxy_register	(Optional) The phone must register with a proxy server during initialization. Valid values are 0 (disable registration during initialization) and 1 (enable registration during initialization). Default is 0. Note You can also use this parameter in a phone-specific configuration file. After a phone has initialized and registered with a proxy server, you can remove the registration by changing this value to 0 in the phone-specific configuration file. To reinitiate registration, change the value back to 1. Note If you enable registration and authentication is required, you must specify values for the linex_authname and linex_password parameters in the phone-specific configuration file.
proxyx_address	IP address of the SIP proxy servers that are used by the phones. Enter the addresses in IP dotted-decimal notation or use the FQDN. The "x" argument is representative of server addresses. Valid values for "x" are 1 to 6. If the proxyx_address parameter is provisioned with an FQDN, the phone sends REGISTER and INVITE messages by using the FQDN in the Req-URI, To, and From fields. If the value of x is not specified in the proxyx_address parameter, the phone uses proxy1_address as the default value.
proxyx_port	Port number of the SIP proxy server that will be used by phone lines other than line 1. The x variable represents a phone line. Valid values are 2 to 6. Note For additional phone lines, the proxyx_port parameter and the proxyx_port parameter can be used to assign different proxy addresses to different phone lines. The "x" in the parameters represents a phone line. The value of "x" can be from 1 to 6. If the value of the "x" is not specified in the proxyx_address parameter, the phone uses proxy1_address as the default.
remote_party_id	(Optional) The Remote-Party-ID header supports network verification and screening of a call participant's identity (for example, name and number) and provides privacy for call participants. Valid values are as follows: •0—Remote party ID is disabled. The phone does not send or accept the remote party ID. •1—Remote party ID is enabled. The phone sends the remote party ID, and can accept the remote party ID. Default is 0.

Parameter	Description
Admin.VLAN Id	Unique identifier of the VLAN to which the phone is attached, for use in switched networks that are not Cisco networks. Note If you have an administrative VLAN setting assigned on the Catalyst switch, that setting overrides any changes made on the phone.
Alternate TFTP	Whether to use an alternate remote TFTP server rather than the local one. Valid values are Yes and No. If you set this parameter to Yes, you must change the IP address in the TFTP Server parameter to the address of the alternate TFTP server. Default is No.
Default Router 1 to 5	IP address (1) of the default gateway used by the phone and (2 to 5) of the gateways that the phone attempts to use as an alternate gateway if the default gateway is unavailable. Note Default Router 1 always takes precedence. If Router 1 is unavailable, the phone moves down the list of available routers in order based on the configuration in Routers 2 through 5. Note If you have an administrative VLAN setting assigned on the Catalyst switch, that setting overrides any changes made on the phone.
DHCP Address Released	Whether the IP address of the phone can be released for reuse in the network. Valid values are Yes and No. When set to Yes, the phone sends a DHCP release message to the DHCP server and goes into a release state. The release state provides enough time to remove the phone from the network before the phone attempts to acquire another IP address from the DHCP server. When you move the phone to a new network segment, first release the DHCP address.
DHCP Enabled	Whether the phone uses DHCP to configure network settings (IP address, subnet mask, domain name, default router list, DNS server list, and TFTP address). Valid values are Yes and No. Default is Yes. To manually configure your IP settings, you must set this parameter to No.
DHCP Server	IP address of the DHCP server from which the phone received its IP address and additional network settings.
DNS Servers 1 to 5	IP address of the DNS server used by the phone to resolve names to IP addresses. The phone attempts to use DNS servers 2 to 5 if DNS server 1 is unavailable. Note DHCP must be disabled.
Dynamic TFTP Server	IP address of a dynamic TFTP server. After initially querying the default TFTP server, the phone rerequests the default and phone-specific configuration files from the new TFTP server. The dynamic TFTP server address is not stored in flash memory.
Erase Configuration	Whether to erase all of the locally defined network settings on the phone and reset the values to the defaults. Valid values are Yes and No. Yes reenables DHCP.
HTTP Proxy Address	IP address of the HTTP proxy server. You can use either a dotted IP address or a DNS name (a record only).
HTTP Proxy Port	Number of the outbound proxy port. Default is 80.
IP Address	IP address of the phone that is assigned by DHCP or is locally configured. Note DHCP must be disabled.
MAC Address	Factory-assigned unique 48-bit hexadecimal MAC address of the phone.
Operational VLAN Id	Unique identifier of the VLAN of which the phone is a member. This identifier is obtained through Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP).
Subnet Mask	IP subnet mask used by the phone. A subnet mask partitions the IP address into a network and a host identifier. Note DHCP must be disabled.
TFTP Server	IP address of the TFTP server. Note If you have an administrative VLAN setting assigned on the Catalyst switch, that setting overrides any changes made on the phone. Note DHCP must be disabled.

Parameter	Description
Authentication Name	(Phone-specific) Name used by the phone for authentication if a registration is challenged by the proxy server during initialization. Note Required when registration is enabled and the registrar challenges registration.
Authentication Password	(Phone-specific) Password used by the phone for authentication if a registration is challenged by the proxy server during initialization. If a value is not configured for the Authentication Password parameter when registration is enabled, the default logical password is used. The default logical password is SIPmac-address, where mac-address is the MAC address of the phone. Note Required when registration is enabled and the registrar challenges registration.
Display Name	(Phone-specific) Identification as it should appear for caller identification. For example, instead of jdoe@company.com appearing on phones that have caller ID, you can specify User A in this parameter to have User A appear on the callee end instead. If a value is not specified for this parameter, the Name value is used.
Name	(Phone-specific) Description phone number or e-mail address used when registering. When entering a number, enter the number without any dashes. For example, enter 555-0100 as 5550100. When entering an e-mail address, enter the e-mail ID without the host name.
Proxy Address	(Phone-specific) IP address of the primary SIP proxy server that will be used by the phone. Enter this address in IP dotted-decimal notation.
Proxy Port	(Phone-specific) Port number of the primary SIP proxy server. This is the port that the SIP client will use. The default is 5060.
Short Name	(Phone-specific) Name or number associated with the linex_name as you want it to display on the phone LCD if the linex_name value exceeds the display area. For example, if the linex_name value is the phone number 111-222-333-4444, you can specify 34444 for this parameter to have 34444 display on the LCD instead. Alternatively, if the value for the linex_name parameter is the e-mail address "username@company.com", you can specify the "username" to have just the username appear on the LCD instead. This parameter is used for display only. If a value is not specified for this parameter, the value in the Name variable is displayed.
