Setting up Your System

	Multiple boot servers can be configured by having the boot server DNS name
	map to multiple IP addresses. The default number of boot servers is one and
	the maximum number is eight. The following protocols are supported for
	redundant boot servers: HTTPS, HTTP, and FTP. For more information on the
	protocol used on each platform, refer to Supported Provisioning Protocols on
	page 3-4.
	All of the boot servers must be reachable by the same protocol and the content
	available on them must be identical. The parameters described in section
	Server Menu on page 3-9can be used to configure the number of times each
	server will be tried for a file transfer and also how long to wait between each
	attempt. The maximum number of servers to be tried is configurable. For more
	information, contact your Certified Polycom Reseller.
Note
	Be aware of how logs, overrides and directories are uploaded to servers that maps
	to multiple IP addresses. The server that these files are uploaded to may change
	over time.
	If you want to use redundancy for uploads, synchronize the files between servers in
	the background.
	However, you may want to disable the redundancy for uploads by specifying
	specific IP addresses instead of URLs for logs, overrides, and directory in the
	<MAC-address>.cfg .

To set up the boot server:

Note Use this procedure as a recommendation if this is your first boot server setup.

1.Install boot server application or locate suitable existing server(s).

Polycom recommends that you use RFC-compliant servers.

	2. Create account and home directory.
Note
	If the provisioning protocol requires an account name and password, the server
	account name and password must match those configured in the phones. Defaults
	are: provisioning protocol: FTP, name: PlcmSpIp, password: PlcmSpIp.
	Each phone may open multiple connections to the server.
	The phone will attempt to upload log files, a configuration override file,
	and a directory file to the server. This requires that the phone’s account has
