Setting Up the Polycom VVX 1500 D Phone

Browser

The Polycom VVX 1500 D phone supports a full browser. This can be launched by pressing the App key or it can be accessed through the Menu key by selecting Applications.

Two instances of the Browser may run concurrently:

An instance with standard interactive user interface

An instance that does not support user input, but appears in a window on the idle display

Configuration changes can be performed centrally at the provisioning server or locally. For detailed information on configuration file settings, refer to <mb/> on page A-5.

H.323 Protocol

Telephony signaling support via the H.323 family of protocols enabling direct communication with H.323 endpoints, gatekeepers, call and media servers, and signaling gateways is supported on the Polycom VVX 1500 D phone.

SIP and H.323 signaling can be supported at the same time, including bridging both types of calls during multi-party conference calls. Automatic detection of the correct or optimal signaling protocol is available when dialing from the contact or corporate directories. While SIP supports server redundancy and several transport options, only a single configured H.323 gatekeeper address per phone is supported. H.323 gatekeepers are optional, but if available, they must be used. If a gatekeeper is not configured or unavailable, calls can still be made if so configured.

Support of the SIP protocol for telephony signaling can be disabled on the Polycom VVX 1500 D such that all calls would be routed via the H.323 protocol.

Video calls are supported to the following Polycom endpoints/bridges/call servers (or gatekeepers)/media servers:
