[asterisk-users] Polycom config file location

My question is: How do I get the
current config files the phone is using off the phone?

AFAIK, you can't. :( You can only provide new configuration files from
your FTP/TFTP server. However, the Polycoms do strange things when
they've been configured in multiple locations. You might find the phone
overwriting the configuration files with its original configuration.

That is not confirmed though. I've just seen my Polycoms do weird stuff
in the wild. :)

If you at least setup your ftp server, and point the phones to it,
they will save a copy of their contact database so that will not be
lost.

Just edit and save an entry after server is ready and it will create
the file.

No too hard to use the web browser and look at each phone to get its
current settings and manually create a config file.

Our 501's upload their configs to the server by themselves... Is this
uncommon? Seems to me that if you had no config on the server at all but
pointed the phones there anyways, they should upload their current set of
files there and then default to using that set of configs until the server
is updated.

Been working with Polycom 301/501/601 for almost a year now and I've _never_ seen that behaviour!
I'd love to see ngrep output of the communication between the phone and the FTP server for this.

K, here's something a phone coughed up the other day:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<PHONE_CONFIG>
<OVERRIDES reg.1.ringType="17"/>

</PHONE_CONFIG>

and here's another chunk from another phone.

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<PHONE_CONFIG>
<OVERRIDES reg.1.fwdContact="312" reg.1.fwdStatus="0"
call.callsPerLineKey="1" reg.2.callsPerLineKey="8"
reg.2.thirdPartyName="" reg.2.type="private" reg.2.label=""
reg.2.displayName="" reg.2.address="" reg.1.thirdPartyName=""
reg.1.ringType="17"/>

</PHONE_CONFIG>

madness, huh? I think these are situations in which configurations made
to the phone had to be written here to override the global provisioning
files. These exist in the ftp account's home dir as *-phone.cfg

This is an override file. They are an addendum to the main sip.cfg and phone1.cfg files.
