The general purpose parameters GPP_* are used as free string registers when
configuring the Cisco IP phones to interact with a particular provisioning server
solution. The GPP_* parameters are empty by default. They can be configured to
contain diverse values, including the following:
• Encryption keys
• URLs
• Multistage provisioning status information
• Post request templates
• Parameter name alias maps
• Partial string values, eventually combined into complete parameter values.
The GPP_* parameters are available for macro expansion within other provisioning
parameters. For this purpose, single-letter upper-case macro names (A through P)
are sufficient to identify the contents of GPP_A through GPP_P. Also, the two-letter
upper-case macro names SA through SD identify GPP_SA through GPP_SD as a
special case when used as arguments of the key URL option.
These parameters can be used as variables in provisioning and upgrade rules.
They are referenced by prepending the variable name with a '$' character, such as
$GPP_A.
