Overview

This guide provides information for system administrators who want to deploy the Polycom VVX 1500 D Business Media Phone in an H.323 environment. It also describes how to upgrade the phone’s software when it is connected in an H.323 environment. The phone must be running SIP application 3.2.2 (phone software) or later. To provision the VVX 1500 D phone using a Polycom® Converged Management Application™ (CMA™) system, the phone must be running Polycom® UC Software 3.3.0 or later.

The topics in this guide include:

• Setting up the Polycom VVX 1500 D phone in one of two ways:

— Changing the phone’s configuration through a web interface. Refer to Modifying Phone’s Configuration Using the Web Interface on page 2-8.

— Setting up a provisioning server and changing the configuration files to work in an H.323 environment. Refer to Setting Up the Provisioning Server on page 2-11, Deploying Phones From the Provisioning Server on page 2-13, and Configuration Files on page A-1.

	• Upgrading the phone’s software. Refer to Upgrading the Phone’s
	Software on page 2-16.
Note	To provisioning the VVX 1500 D phone using a Polycom CMA system, you must
	update the phone’s software to Polycom UC Software 3.3.0 before adding the
	phone to the list of endpoints provisioned by Polycom CMA.

In future, software upgrades can be provided by the Polycom CMA system itself.

The Polycom CMA system requires that the management application be installed on the same network as your VVX 1500 D phones are connected.

• Troubleshooting any issues with the phone. Refer to Troubleshooting the Polycom VVX 1500 D Phone on page 3-1.
