[asterisk-users] Grandstream TFTP system wide settings

[Zeeshan Zakaria]

Hi,

Aastra IP Phones have two configuration files on TFTP, aastra.cfg and
<mac>.cfg. Both are in text format, which makes editing easy. And
aastra.cfghas system wide settings and <mac>.cfg has settings for each
indivifual
phones. This makes it really easy to change the global parameters system
wide by changing only one aastra.cfg file.

On the other hand, as I could understand, for Grandstream TFTP setup, each
phones needs a separate file, which has to be edited and then converted to
its own format usint ./encode.sh. There is no such file which would carry
global settings for all the phones on a system. Changing 10s of
configuration files for one small little thing, like daylight saving = 0,
and then converting all of them to its own format is not a good way of
dealing with many phones.

Is there a quicker way to change settings for all Grandstream phones, is
there any one file which can act as a global configuration file without
changing each phones phone specific settings? And can't it be simply done by
text editing, without the need to convert each file to cfg<mac> format?
