Deploying Phones From the Provisioning Server

	You will need to create two configuration files for each
	phone—phone1[MACAddress].cfg and [MACAddress].cfg—and one
	configuration file for all phones in your installation—sip[XXXX].cfg.
	For more information on why to create another configuration file, refer to the
	“Configuration File Management on Polycom VVX 1500 D Phones” white
	paper at
	http://www.polycom.com/global/documents/support/technical/products
	/voice/white_paper_configuration_file_management_on_soundpoint_ip_ph
	ones.pdf .
Note
Note	Use an XML editor to create/edit the configuration files. In this way, all configuration
	files that you create will be valid XML files.
	If the configuration files are not valid, they will not load on the phone. An error
	message will be logged to the provisioning server.

	For more detailed information on specific parameters in configuration files,
	refer to Configuration Files on page A-1.
	Deploy Polycom VVX 1500 D phones by:
	1. Creating a Per-Phone Configuration File
	2. Creating an Application Configuration File
	3. Creating a Master Configuration File
	4. Downloading the New Configuration
	Creating a Per-Phone Configuration File
	To create a per-phone configuration file:
Note
Note	Obtain the phone’s MAC address from the barcoded label on underside of phone or
	on the outside of the shipping box.

	1. Create a per-phone configuration file by using the phone1.cfg file from
	the distribution as a template.
	For example, create phone1_0004f2be80a6.cfg
