Centralized Provisioning
Polycom strongly recommends using a central provisioning server when provisioning multiple phones to:
● Configure multiple devices automatically
● Facilitate automated software updates
● Receive automatic log files
● Add, remove, or manage features and settings to multiple phones simultaneously
● Create phone groups and modify features and settings for each phone group
