Setting up Your System

Note

Setting Option 66 to tftp://192.168.9.10 has the effect of forcing a TFTP download.

 

Using a TFTP URL (for example, tftp://provserver.polycom.com) has the same

 

effect.

 

 

 

For downloading the bootROM and application images to the phone, the

 

secure HTTPS protocol is not available. To guarantee software integrity, the

 

bootROM will only download cryptographically signed bootROM or

 

application images. For HTTPS, widely recognized certificate authorities are

 

trusted by the phone and custom certificates can be added (refer to Trusted

 

Certificate Authority List on page C-1).

Modifying the Network Configuration

You can access the network configuration menu:

During bootROM Phase. The network configuration menu is accessible during the auto-boot countdown of the bootROM phase of operation. Press the Setup soft key to launch the main menu.

During Application Phase. The network configuration menu is accessible from the phone’s main menu. Select Menu>Settings>Advanced>Admin Settings>Network Configuration. Advanced Settings are locked by default. Enter the administrator password to unlock. The factory default password is 456.

Phone network configuration parameters may be modified by means of:

Main Menu

DHCP Menu

Server Menu

Ethernet Menu

Syslog Menu

Use the soft keys, the arrow keys, the Select and Delete keys to make changes.

Certain parameters are read-only due to the value of other parameters. For example, if the DHCP Client parameter is enabled, the Phone IP Addr and Subnet Mask parameters are dimmed or not visible since these are guaranteed to be supplied by the DHCP server (mandatory DHCP parameters) and the statically assigned IP address and subnet mask will never be used in this configuration.

Resetting to Factory Defaults

The basic network configuration referred to in the subsequent sections can be reset to factory defaults using a multiple key combination described in Multiple Key Combinations on page C-10.
