Polycom strongly recommends that you connect the Polycom VVX 1500 D to the
LAN using the included network cable. A LAN connection enables access to a
provisioning server as well as a time server.
A provisioning server facilitates software upgrades, language support, configuration
management, and diagnostic logging, which is helpful if troubleshooting is required.
Access to a time server enables display of the current date and time on the phone's
display.
