Configure a Polycom phone's boot server manually

On a Polycom phone, follow these steps to point the phone to the CIC (boot) server. As needed, use the buttons and arrow keys next to the choices displayed on the phone's LCD screen.

Note:

Steps for some phones differ slightly from those described here, and steps often differ depending on whether a phone is just starting or running already. If these steps don't match your phone, see the Polycom documentation for instructions about how to configure your phone.

To configure a Polycom phone's boot server

  1. On the phone's Network Configuration screen, do the following:

    1. Press the Menu button, press 3 for Settings, and then press 2 for Advanced.

    2. Key in the password (the default is 456) and then press the Enter button.

    3. Press 1 for Admin Settings and then press 1 for Network Configuration.

  2. On the screen where you specify the CIC server's address, do the following:

    1. Choose DHCP Menu and then press Select.

    2. Choose Boot Server and then press Edit.

    3. Use the arrow keys to select Static.

    4. Press OK and then press Exit to go up a level.

    5. Use the arrow keys to select ServerMenu and then press Select.

    6. Select ServerType:, use the arrow to select HTTP, and then press OK.

    7. Select ServerAddr: and then press Edit.

  3. Specify the CIC server's URL and the provisioning port number:

    1. If needed, press the phone's Alphanumeric toggle button (see previous image) to toggle from letters to numbers. Some phones differ slightly from the one shown here.

    2. Provide the CIC server's computer name or IP address, then a colon, and then port number 8088.

      An example is 10.20.0.157:8088. For IP300/IP500 models, specify the full URL.

      Note: Specify letters by pressing the corresponding number key multiple times:

      • For a period (.), press the * key once.

      • For a colon (:), press the # key twice.

      • For a slash (/), press the # key three times.

      • If these instructions do not work on your phone, see the Polycom documentation for your phone.

  4. Press OK, Exit, and then Save to reboot the phone and connect with the designated server.
