Device Lock For Skype For Business - Polycom Trio 8800 User Manual

Device Lock for Skype for Business

You can configure phones to be protected with a lock code that enables users to access personal settings
from different phones. You can configure Device Lock on the Skype for Business server or using Polycom
parameters on a centralized provisioning server. If you enable Device Lock using both methods, centralized
provisioning parameters take precedence. You cannot enable or disable Device Lock using the Web
Configuration Utility.
Device Lock is disabled by default for Skype for Business and is different from the Phone Lock feature
offered by Polycom for Open SIP deployments. If you enable Phone Lock and Device Lock for Skype for
Business at the same time on a phone with the Base Profile set to Skype, the Device Lock feature takes
precedence over Phone Lock.
Administrators can configure phone behavior after six unsuccessful user unlock attempts. If users forget
their lock code, they can reset it from the phone when signed in to their Skype for Business account. If users
sign in to their Skype for Business account using the Web Sign-In method, they cannot reset their lock code
from the phone.
Users must sign into the phone before using Device Lock. If a phone restarts or reboots after a user sets
the lock code, the phone is locked after the restart or reboot. Users can lock the phone from the phone
screen or Skype for Business client when the phone and computer are connected using BToE. If Device
Lock is used in conjunction with BToE, the phone and computer always remain synchronized if either the
phone or computer restarts or reboots. If the BToE connection is broken between phone and computer, the
phone is locked.
You can also:
● Define authorized outbound emergency numbers from a locked device
● Set up a minimum lock code length on the Skype for Business server
Profile Photo on Device Lock Screen
When a user is signed in to their Skype for Business account on the Polycom Trio 8800 and 8500 systems,
and VVX 400, 500, and 600 series business media phones, the user's Microsoft Exchange or public website
profile photo displays on the Lock screen. This feature is enabled by default when the Microsoft Exchange
Service is enabled. Profile photos set using Active Directory are not supported and do not display on the
phone.
The following example shows a profile photo for the VVX business media phone.
