I noticed the exported settings in settings.cfg and settings.xml are not the same when I export them from the web interface of our D385 phones (same behavior on firmware 10.1.141.13 and 10.1.73.16).

e.g. the setting phone_name is present in settings.cfg and missing in settings.xml

Is this normal? If yes, what is the rationale behind it? I'd expected a full settings export to include all the settings (modulo passwords, of course) in both the cfg and the xml.

Is there a list available of the settings that are only included in one of the two files?


Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    The only supported format is the XML one, the end of support for the plain text provisioning was announced in April 2021, you can find it in the release notes of firmware version 10.1.73.16 as below

    https://service.snom.com/display/wiki/10.1.73.16+Release

    Reported as "SAP-5352: Provisioning methods are unified to XML and by this support plain text provisioning end".

    The differences probably relate to old settings that aren't configurable right now and could still be present in the CFG file but aren't supported anymore.

    You can still download that file for retro-compatibility with older phones but please don't use it for configuration/provisioning as it may not have all the relevant settings.

    Thank you

    Thanks! We do use XML for provisioning purposes, so everything is fine. Thanks for your assistance.
