Boot Files, Configuration Files and Resource Files
You can use boot files, configuration files and resource files to configure phone features and apply feature settings to
phones. You can create or edit these files using a text editor such as Notepad++.
You can ask the distributor or Yealink FAE for template files. You can also obtain the template files online: http://sup-

Boot Files
Yealink phones support boot files. The boot files maximize the flexibility to allow you to customize features and set-
tings for multiple phones.
With the boot file, you can specify which configuration files should be downloaded. It is effective for you to provision
the phones in different deployment scenarios:
l For all phones
l For a group of phones
l For specific phone models
l For a single phone
Yealink phones support two types of boot files: common boot file and MAC-Oriented boot file. You can use the default
boot template file “y000000000000.boot” to create MAC-Oriented boot file by making a copy and renaming it.
Note
You can select whether to use the boot file or not according to your deployment scenario. If you do not want to use the
boot file, please go to Configuration Files.
