Deployment Guide for the Polycom VVX 1500 C Business Media Phone
3 - 12
Calls made using H.323 cannot be forwarded or transferred.
The Transfer and Forward soft keys are not displayed during an
H.323 call on a Polycom VVX 1500 C phone. The Forward soft key is
not displayed on the idle display of a Polycom VVX 1500 C phone if
the primary line is an H.323 line.
If a Polycom VVX 1500 C user presses the Transfer soft key during an
H.323 call on a Polycom VVX 1500 C phone, no action is taken.
The auto-divert field in the local contact directory entry is ignored
when a call is placed to that contact using H.323.
If a conference host ends a three-way conference the call and one of the
party is connected by H.323, that party is not transferred to the other
party.
Polycom CMA Provisioning
Only one phone line associated with a Polycom CMA system can be
provisioned on a VVX 1500 C phone, but the line key associated with that line
is configurable. For detailed information on configuration file settings, refer to
<prov/> on page A-10.
Deploying Phones From the Provisioning Server
You can create two configuration files for each phone and one configuration
file for all phones in your installation or you can put all configuration
parameters into one file. The example below shows two configuration files.
For more information on why to create another configuration file, refer to the
“Configuration File Management on Polycom VVX 1500 C Phones” white
paper at

Warning
As of UC software 3.3.1, you only need to configure the parameters that do not
match their “built-in” defaults.
Certain configuration settings in Polycom UC Software 3.3.1 release are not
backward compatible to the previous configuration files (sip.cfg and phone1.cfg).
Review all configuration files used to configure the VVX 1500 C phones for previous
software releases.
For more information, refer to Configuration Files on page A-1.
