:!: This requires a newer FreePBX Distro with FreePBX 2.11 or newer which provides the required hints.

:!: For Polycom phones, we edit the (per phone) <MAC>-directory.xml file.  You can also use the (global) 000000000000-directory.xml file, but it is like a 'seed' to do the initial population of the (per phone) <MAC>-directory.xml file.  The 000000000000-directory.xml is only read by the phone during initial provisioning.

<file>
cd /tftpboot
vim <MAC>-directory.xml
