Instructions:
See 4.6.1 SIP Configuration - sip.cfg on page 73, par-
ticularly for SIP server address.
Most of the default settings are typically adequate,
however, if overriding SNTP settings are not available
via DHCP, the SNTP GMT offset and (possibly) the
SNTP server address will need to be edited for the cor-
rect local conditions. Changing the default daylight
savings parameters will likely be necessary outside of
North American locations.
(Optional) Disable the local web (HTTP) server or
alter its signalling port if local security policy dictates.
Change the default location settings:
• user interface language
• time and date format
Polycom recommends allowing file uploads to the
boot 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 2.2.2.1.1.1 Master
Configuration Files on page 12).
File permissions should give the minimum access
required, and the account used should have no other
rights on the server.
The phone's server 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
application executable and the standard configuration
files, should be made read-only via file server file per-
missions.
