BIN vs CFG configuration export/import

[jolouis]

BIN is the old format Yealink phones used to use many years ago before the updated configuration style. They used to literally be binary files that you had no way of reading or manipulating.

CFG is what you are after for this case. CFG is formatted text that should contain the same values you'll find in the Auto Provisioning manual and samples.

As for the difference between Static, non-static, and all. If I recall correctly, it's basically:
static : Settings that are provided by Provisiong server and prefixed with static.x.y. These settings cannot be overriden by the user and always apply.
non-static : Only settings that are not explicitly set to static as above. i.e. user defined values, or anything provisioned that was not prefixed with "static" keyword
all: All settings, both static and non-static.

If you are not using a provisioning server you probably will not have any static setttings present on the phone. Just to be safe though it probably makes sense to do an export type of "all" though.

I would also recommend that in order to keep things to a minimum you do a full factory reset of a phone first. Then, login and configure your "template" phone. Finally, export the settings and manipulate as required.
