2.2.2.2 Local Phone Configuration
As the only method of modifying phone configuration or as a distributed method of
augmenting a centralized provisioning model, a local phone-based configuration web
server is available, unless disabled via ipmid.cfg. For more information, see 4.6.1.9
Web Server <HTTPD/> on page 91. The phone’s local user interface also permits
6. Decide on FTP server security pol-
icy:
Polycom recommends allowing file uploads to the
FTP server where the security environment permits.
This allows event log files to be uploaded and changes
made by the phone user to the configuration (via the
web server and local user interface) and changes made
to the directory to be backed up.
For organizational purposes, configuring a separate
log file directory is recommended, but not required
(see LOG_FILE_DIRECTORY in 2.2.2.1.2.1 Master
Configuration Files on page 10). File permissions
should give the minimum access required, and the
account used should have no other rights on the server.
The phone's FTP account needs to be able to add files
to which it can write in the log file directory and the
root directory. It must also be able to list files in all
directories mentioned in the [mac].cfg file. All other
files that the phone needs to read, such as the applica-
tion executable and the standard configuration files,
should be made read-only via file server file permis-
sions.
7. Reboot phones after configuring
their boot server via DHCP or stati-
cally:
See 2.2.1 Basic Network Setup on page 4.
To reboot phones manually, press and hold the follow-
ing keys simultaneously until a confirmation tone is
heard or for about three seconds:
IP 300: Volume-, Volume+, Hold and Redial
IP 500: Volume-, Volume+, Hold, and Messages
IP 600: Volume-, Volume+, Mute, and Messages
IP 4000: *, #, Volume+, and Select
Monitor the boot server event log and the uploaded
event log files (if permitted):
Ensure that the configuration process completed cor-
rectly.
Start making calls!
a. The FTP account name and password must match those configured in the phones them-
selves. Defaults are: name: PlcmSpIp, password: PlcmSpIp
