Template vs Configuration - Liberteks - 08-03-2020 02:04 PM

Forgive the naivete, I'm new to Yealink. It's unclear to me what the difference is between a phone template and configuration file. They seem similar to me, except one is xml and the other text (or bin).
As I provision new phones, I'm not able to determine where the configuration comes from, or if even need to concern myself, since the phone template is on the 3CX server.
We have T2 and T4 series phones.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Hi,

Please use the in 3CX embedded templates to provision your phones.

Hope this will help.

This is more to the point of what I was asking, though not exactly.
I stumbled onto it today.
For anyone's reference who had the same question.
