The Base Profile is a provisioning option available on Skype for Business-enabled Polycom devices that
simplifies the process of registering your devices with Skype for Business. The Base Profile displays in the
phone's menu system and varies by phone model. The Base Profile automates registration with a default
set of configuration parameters and settings; you cannot modify or customize the Base Profile or feature
settings. Because you can provision only a single phone at a time from the local phone menu, Polycom
recommends using centralized provisioning for deployments of greater than 20 devices requiring only
default Skype for Business settings.
If you are using Polycom UC Software 5.1.1 or later, the Web Configuration Utility is disabled by default and
you cannot register phones with the Web Configuration Utility. If you want to use a phone's Web
Configuration Utility after the phone is registered with Skype for Business Server, you must enable access
to the Web Configuration Utility.

Manual Provisioning Methods
Polycom provides five per-phone manual methods you can use to register Polycom devices with Skype for
Business. All manual provisioning methods set the Base Profile of a phone to Skype. The Base Profile is a
feature on each Polycom phone that, when set to Skype, automatically provisions the phone with the default
parameters required to work with Skype for Business.
When you use configuration files to provision the phones with Skype for Business, the phone Base Profile
stays set to Generic. You do not need to set the Base Profile to Skype for Business when provisioning with
configuration files.
You can set the Base Profile of a phone to Skype in the following ways:
● Set the Base Profile from the Settings
menu during normal phone functioning.
● Set the Base Profile Using the Web Configuration
to set the Base Profile from a web browser. This is particularly useful when working remotely.
Manually Reboot the Phone
When you change the Base Profile using any of these methods, the phone reboots. If the phone does not
reboot, you can manually reboot by powering off/on the phone or manually rebooting the phone from the
Settings menu.
To manually reboot the phone:
1 Go to Settings > Advanced.
2 Enter the password (default 456).
3 Press Enter.
4 Choose Reboot Phone.
When the phone completes the reboot cycle, the Sign In screen displays.
