Hi All,

 

New here with an odd issue where BToE (v3.3.0.0) no longer pairs to the phone, any help will be appreciated. I have a VVX 410, the details are below;

 

IP Mode IPv4 IP Address 10.7.20.86 UC Software Version 5.5.0.20556 Updater Version 5.7.0.18267

 

It did work until recently with no changes that I can think of apart from Windows Updates. I now have 2 affected Windows 10 machines where it does not link and the log below shows that it tries to launch to connect to the local machine and not the VVX phone IP address when launching plink.exe

 

In trying to resolve the issue we have disabled windows firewall, tried multiple versions of BToE with the same results each time.

 

Any ideas?

Hello Bath,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

The community's Skype for Business FAQ contains this post here:

 

Jan 26, 2016 Question:Can I troubleshoot BToE or changes settings ?

Resolution: Please check => here <= for details


I suggest you set the logging to debug and then use a currently supported software like UC Software 5.6.0 or UC Software 5.5.3 and also a supported BToE Version like BToE 3.6.0 or at least BToE 3.5.0

 

Please post new logs after upgrading to these.

 

I had recently tested this on two different Windows 10 Machines running 1703 or even the latest 1709 and it works every time.

 

You can escalate this if you rather want official support.


In order to raise a support ticket you need to work with your Polycom reseller as they need to do this for you. End Customers are usually unable to open a ticket directly with Polycom support.

If this is some sort of an Internet discounter please post either your phone's MAC address or your Polycom devices serial so I can look up who would be able to support you. This may not be who you purchased the Polycom device from.

Please ensure to provide some feedback if this reply has helped you so other users can profit from your experience.

Best Regards

Upgraded the software to 3.6.0.0, I have tried to update the handset to v5.5.3.2169 and after the update process it still reported it was on 5.5.0.20556. I then tried to udpate to v5.6..0.17325 and success in updating.

 

Now it all works.......

 

Thanks!
