Polycom recommends the boot server central provisioning model for installations involving more than a few phones. The investment required is minimal in terms of time and equipment, and the benefits are significant.
Basic network settings can be derived from DHCP, or entered manually using the phone’s LCD-based user interface, or downloaded from configuration files. Contact Polycom Customer Support for more information on this use of configuration files. Polycom recommends using DHCP where possible to eliminate repetitive manual data entry.

If a phone does not find its own <Ethernet address>.cfg file, it will use this one, and establish a baseline configuration. This file is part of the standard Polycom distribution of configuration files. It should be used as the template for the <Ethernet address>.cfg files.

IP address of an application server. All phones in an installation usually share this category of files. Polycom recommends that you create another file with your organization’s modifications. If you must change any Polycom templates, back them up first.

Each phone in an installation usually has its own customized ver- sion of user files derived from Polycom templates. These application configuration files dictate the behavior of the phone once it is run- ning the executable specified in the master configuration file.

B should be used, which has a configuration file that specifies that server A should be used. Polycom recommends that you test the new configuration files on two phones before initializing all phones. This should detect any errors including IP address conflicts.

• time and date format 5. Decide on boot server security policy. 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 (through the web server and local user interface) and changes made to the directory to be backed up.
