Hi,

I have deployed a FileZilla provisioning server.  I have DHCP configured on my network.  If I boot up a VVX500 or VVX600 it will boot up, automatically begin downloading new UC Software / Firmware if a newer version is available, pull the configuration file, everything works accordingly.  When I boot up a VVX 410 in the same scenario, it doesn't seem to automatically provisionion.  The phone will boot up successfully in it's default configuration.  If I manually define a provisioning server the phone will reboot, pull new UCS Software / Firmware, do it's configuration, and everything is fine.  What can I do to make it work by default?  My hunch is i am missing something in my master configuration file.

Thanks

-Matt

 

Here is my master configuration file (000000000000.cfg)

Matt, all the VVX phones use the initial <APPLICATION> tag to find their configuration information so if it's working for one phone then it'll work the same for all models.

 

My best guess is that the 410 is not getting the provisioning server location due to it being a different SKU than the other phones which will look at a different custom DHCP Option for the provisioning server URL. You may be using DHCP Option 160 and the phone that is not working is looking at 161 bt default, or vice versa.  

 

Take a look at the customer configuration on the phone to insure that the same customer value is configured on all phones.

Thanks for the reply Jeff!  I was only using option 160, once i basically added option 161 it worked perfectly.  Thanks again!

Sorry but can you eplain me why our 200 & more old VVX500 automatically get the DHCP option 160 and the new ones we have just receive doesn't work ?

 

What I have to do if I don't want to set option 161 for new phones ?

Hello Doum,

welcome back to the Polycom Community.

The "original" Polycom provisioning method prior to introducing separate LYNC / Skype for Business Hardware was always Option 160 and then fall back to Option 66.

 

Since the introduction of the separate LYNC / Skype for Business Hardware we utilize Option 161 and then fall back to Option 66.

 

This ensures that customer using the VVX phones for SIP whilst moving to LYNC / Skype for Business can do this seamlessly.

 

In order to change this you need to pre-provision the phone using device.set parameters to change the DHCP Option.

 

device.set
device.dhcp.bootSrvOpt.set="1"
device.dhcp.bootSrvOpt="160"

Please remember that for the 200+ Phones you already use with LYNC / Skype that you require the relevant per phone Licenses from Polycom.

 

Your known Sales Engineer can be consulted for any follow up questions.

Ok so for us the easiest solution is to set option 160 & option 161 with the same provisioning server so all our phones will work

Hello Doum,

 

yes, simply copy the Option 160 and create a Option 161 as well.

 

Please ensure you have the relevant licenses for the phones not in LYNC SKU.
