Instructions:
See 4.6.1 Core Configuration - ipmid.cfg on page 55.
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
FTP server where the security environment permits.
This allows event log files to be uploaded and changes
made by the telephone 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 2.2.2.1.2.1 Master
Configuration File on page 10). File permissions
should give the minimum access required, and the
account used should have no other rights on the server.
The telephone's FTP 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 telephone needs to read, such as the
application executable and the standard configuration
files, should be made read-only via file server file per-
missions.
See 2.2.1 Basic Network Setup on page 4.
To reboot telephones manually, press and hold the fol-
lowing keys simultaneously until a confirmation tone
is heard or for about three seconds:
IP 400/500: Volume-, Volume+, Hold, and Messages
IP 600: Volume-, Volume +, Mute, and Messages
Monitor the boot server event log and the uploaded
event log files (if permitted):
Ensure that the configuration process completed cor-
rectly.
Start making calls!
