Network Issues
 Polycom PVX may not function properly if more than one network connection is used
simultaneously.

2. Select Network Properties.
3. In Local Area Connection Properties, select Advanced.

2. Select Windows Firewall.
3. Select Exceptions.

 T.120 may not work properly through some NAT devices.
 If calls stop working after you configure the software and the NAT device, ensure that the
NAT is still configured properly. Internal testing has shown that some NAT devices can
lose their settings and must be reconfigured. Verify that you have the latest firmware for
your NAT device.
 Following installation of a new NAT device and configuration of the NAT device
settings in the Polycom PVX software, you must power cycle both the device and the
