• If you choose to manage your phones through a provisioning server, you
need to:
— Set up a provisioning server and download the appropriate files. Refer
to Setting Up the Provisioning Server on page 3-5.
— Decide which features you want enabled and which you want
disabled. Refer to Configuring Your System on page 3-6.
— Create configuration files to support the required features on the
phones. Refer to Deploying Phones From the Provisioning Server on
page 3-12.
• If you choose to manage a group of phones through a Polycom®
Converged Management Application™ (CMA™) system, you need to:
— Ensure that the phone is running the correct version to allow
provisioning by a Polycom CMA system.
The VVX 1500 D phone must be running UC software 3.3.0 or later. If
the phone is not running this software version, refer to Upgrading the
Phone’s Software on page 3-16.
— Ensure that the Polycom CMA system is running version 5.0 or later.
For more information on upgrading the Polycom CMA system, refer
to the Polycom CMA v5.0 Upgrade Guide, which is available at
http://www.polycom.com/support/network/management_schedu
ling/cma_4000_5000.html .
— Change the phone’s configuration to use the Polycom CMA system for
provisioning. Refer to Enabling Provisioning Using a Polycom CMA
System on page 3-18.
Once the VVX 1500 C phone is provisioned by a Polycom CMA
system, future phone software upgrades are managed by the Polycom
CMA system as well.
• If you do not want to use a provisioning server, you can change some of
the phone’s configuration through a web interface. Refer to Modifying
Phone’s Configuration Using the Web Interface on page B-1.
Note
You can also set up the VVX 1500 C phone in a “hybrid” system where the VVX
1500 phones can be provisioned by both a Polycom CMA system and a
provisioning server. In this scenario, you should review the configuration
parameters mentioned in Configuring Your System on page 3-6.
