releases:
Software Releases
1.0.199.123
1.0.522.101
3.5.6907.35
This section will focus on upgrading the Polycom CX700 phone from
1.0.199.123 to 1.0.522.101 and then to 3.5.6907.35 using an Office
Communications Server 2007 R2 Device Update service.
If any of the Polycom CX700 phones are running a software release earlier than
1.0.199.123, it may be necessary to install an R1 Update Server to update to
1.0.199.123. If the phone is already running 1.0.199.123, the upgrade process to
1.0.522.101,and then 3.5.6907.35 can be performed using an Office
Communications Server 2007 R2 Device Update service only. It is not possible to
upgrade directly from 1.0.199.123 to 3.5.6907.35—due to 1.0.199.123 software
limitations.
The Polycom CX700 phone software updates behaves differently in terms of
environmental dependencies and how the device locates firmware updates.
Version 1.0.199.123 is the least tolerant of variations in the environment.
