3.x SIP Phone Does Not Hold or Accept or Apply Configuration - File Encoding should be UTF-8
Last Updated 2 years ago

Problem:
The phone may have at one point a downloaded configuration and be operational. Some undetermined factor in the environment changes, and the phones configuration will be erased. Upon uploading a new config, phone reports successful download but will not update any settings. Using the Webui, the settings will not be held after phone confirms changes has been saved.

Solution:
We have only seen this issue once, the solution was re-saving the .cfg files back to a text file, then saving back to a .cfg file, and then loading the config to the phone.

This may also have to do with the encoding of the text file being anything other than UTF-8. We have sometimes seen configuration files that are readable, but are not encoded correctly to UTF-8. For example, UTF-16 Little-Endian is perfectly readable in a text editor, but will not be accepted by the phone upon download.
