Info Block Parameters

Note: Applies to: 2001, 2002, 2004, 2007, 1110, 1120E, 1140E, 1150E, 1165E, 1210, 1220, and 1230 IP phones

All the parameters that can be provisioned via the Info-Block are provided in the table below. Note that not all parameters need to be specified in the Info-Block. If an option is included, the parameter will be set with the value specified. If an option is not included, the phone will retain its default value, or the value previously set if 'stickiness' (st) is set (default=enabled).

Info Block Parameters are provisioned primarily by the system.prv file, although, the 'file' parameter indicates which other files (if any) are also to be loaded. For example, 'type' provisioning may use a 1140e.prv file to enable Bluetooth on 1140E sets only.

Info Block Parameters can also be passed via DHCP Site Specific Option (128), eg: Nortel-i2004-B,param=value;param=value;
