Setting Up the Provisioning Server
The protocol that will be used to transfer files from the provisioning server
depends on several factors including the phone model and whether the
BootROM or UC Software stage of provisioning is in progress. By default, the
phones are shipped with FTP enabled as the provisioning protocol.
You can use any computer on the network as the provisioning server
(providing the application image and configuration files for the Polycom VVX
1500 C phone).
For organizational purposes, configuring a separate log file directory, override
directory, contact directory, and license directory is recommended, but not
required. The different directories can have different access permissions. For
example, for LOG, CONTACTS, and OVERRIDES, allow full access (read and
write) and for all others, read-only access.
Note
You can also set up:
• SNTP address—The IP address of the SNTP server for time resolution
• GMT Offset—The time zone to be used by the phone
• DNS Server—The IP address of the DNS server if a name is used for the Server
Address in step k.
You can also control the switchport negotiation of the LAN and PC ports under the
Ethernet Menu, which is at the bottom of the menu list. These may be set to one of
0 = Auto (default), 1 = 10HD, 2 = 10FD, 3 = 100HD, 4 = 100FD, or 5 = 1000FD. The
PC port can also be disabled (-1). Polycom recommends that you do not change
these values.
Note
The instructions below are written using FTP server as the provisioning server, but
they also apply to any TFTP or HTTP server.
Note
The factory default username and password for the phone is PlcmSpIp.
