Using The Polycom Web Configuration Utility - Polycom VVX 300 Administrator's Manual

Using the Polycom Web Configuration
Utility
After you set up your VVX 300, 310, 400, and 410 phones on the network, users will be able to
place and answer calls using the default configuration. The Web Configuration Utility enables
you and your phone users to optimize or customize individual phones.
You and your users can perform configuration changes on a per-phone basis with the Web
Configuration Utility. You can use the Web Configuration Utility as the sole configuration method
or in addition to central provisioning. Any configuration changes made to individual phones
using the Web Configuration Utility will override configuration settings made with central
provisioning. Configuration changes made manually using a phone's user interface will override
changes made using the Web Configuration Utility.
You can access the utility by entering the phone's IP address in a Web browser, such as
http://123.456.789.012. For administrators, log in as an Admin and enter the administrative
password, which is 456 by default.
Troubleshooting: I Can't Enable Certain Features Using the Web Configuration
Utility
You can't enable or disable all features through the Web Configuration Utility. You
must make changes for these features through the configuration files.
Changes made through the Web Configuration Utility or the phone's user interface are stored
internally as overrides. These overrides take precedence over settings contained in the
configuration obtained from the provisioning server.
If the provisioning server permits uploads, these override settings will be saved in a file called
<MAC Address>-web.cfg and <MAC Address>-phone.cfg on the provisioning server as well
as in the phone's device settings.
Caution: Web Configuration Changes Override Provisioning Server
Configurations
Web configuration changes will continue to override the provisioning server-derived
configuration until you delete them by selecting Reset Web Configuration in the
utility, or you configure
through the phone's user interface—will continue to override the provisioning server-
parameters. Local configuration changes—made
