Ip Communication Settings - Polycom CX5500 Administrator's Manual

Polycom CX5500 Unified Conference Station Administrator's Guide

IP Communication Settings

When the phone has established network connectivity it needs to acquire several IP network settings to
proceed with provisioning. These settings are typically obtained automatically from a DHCP server.
Tip: For Novice Administrators
Read this section if you are new to this process or have never set up a provisioning server before.
You have the option to set the IP communication settings manually from the phone UI, or to pre-provision
using a device.set capability.
When making the DHCP request the phone will include information in Option 60 that can assist the DHCP
server in delivering the appropriate settings to the device. For more information, see
