Manually Configuring the ShorePhone-IP100
The IP phones require configuration files in the inetpub\ftproot directory of the
ShoreWare server. These files contain the configuration parameters and point to the
application that is downloaded to the IP phone every time it boots. There is a master
configuration file (00000000000.cfg) that provides the path to the phone application
file and lists application files used to configure the phones.
Table 5-4 lists the configuration files and their function.
ShoreTel 6 manages the configuration files for the IP phones. ShoreWare Director
changes the contents of some configuration files according to the settings you make in
Director. If you wish to modify the behavior of the IP phones via the configuration files,
contact ShoreTel Customer Support.
Setting IP100 Phone Configuration from the Phone Interface
If you are not using a DHCP server, you must set configuration parameters from the IP
phone?s setup menu. You can also use the setup menu to set a custom Boot Server
Option for the DHCP server and set the phone?s VLAN identifier.
Accessing the Setup Menu
The setup menu is accessible when the IP phone boots. You can enter this menu during
a six-second period, after which the phone enters normal operation using the current
settings.
Rebooting the IP Phone
There are two ways to reboot the IP phone:
?
By reapplying power
?
By pressing four of the phone?s keys simultaneously
The IP phone reboots whenever power is reapplied. You can accomplish this by
disconnecting the power cable momentarily and then reconnecting it.
