Polycom Logins

Configuration

comms 3.1-d and higher supports automatic logins for Polycom phones (Firmware UC 4.0.0+). This assumes the use of HTTP(S) for provisioning purposes. This will only work with phones that use auto-provisioning and have been registered correctly. The system will look up both the MAC address of the phone and the IP address when a request to the login configuration is made. Saving of overrides (-web.cfg) files is currently not supported since the OVERRIDES_DIRECTORY needs to be set to the same path as the USER_PROFILES_DIRECTORY. An invalid HTTP 500 error will be returned.

Use the following Polycom settings to enable logins:

               prov.login.enabled="1"
               prov.login.userId.encodingMode="123"

In your general or device specific 000000000000.cfg or MAC.cfg file add the user profile directory:

 USER_PROFILES_DIRECTORY="http://[web server]/ent/xml/proam/[PHONE_MAC_ADDRESS]"
 OVERRIDES_DIRECTORY="http://[web server]/ent/xml/proam/[PHONE_MAC_ADDRESS]"

For further details on the exact Polycom settings refer to this document.

Usage

Users log-in by pressing the 'Log in' softkey. They will be prompted by their extension and voicemail PIN. Logins will not work if the voicemail PIN has been disabled or is empty.
