Using Configuration Parameters 5:
This chapter shows you how to configure Polycom phones to run your newly-created Web application
using the configuration files that accompany the Polycom® UC software. The configuration parameters
dictate the behavior of the phone once it is running the executable specified in the master configuration
file.
Caution: Only Knowledgeable Administrators Should Modify the Configuration Files
Only a knowledgeable system administrator needs to modify configuration files. If you apply
incorrect parameters, your phone cannot be used. The configuration files that accompany a specific
UC software release must be used only with that software. Failure to do this can render the phone
unusable.
The topics in this chapter include:
 Configuring Web Application Parameters
 Configuring Push Request Parameters
 Configuring Telephone Event Parameters
 Configuring Phone State Polling Parameters
 Configuring Programmable Soft Keys
 Sample Configuration
You can make changes to the configuration parameters by modifying the configuration files on the
provisioning server using an XML editor. For detailed information on modifying the configuration files,
refer to chapters Setting Up the Provisioning Sever and Configuration Methods in the Polycom's UC
Software 5.0.0 Administrators' Guide. If you are configuring a single phone, you can also use the Polycom
Web Configuration Utility. For information on how to configure files using the Web Configuration Utility,
see the Polycom Web Configuration Utility Guide on the support site.
The parameters described in this chapter include those for:
 Web applications
 Push requests
 Telephone event notifications
 Phone state polling
 Soft Keys
A sample configuration is shown in Sample Configuration.
