I have VVX 500 phones with firmware 5.8.0 and BTOE 3.7.0. All of a sudden, BTOE will not auto pair with the phones beginning 9/18/2018. This is happening with all 200 of our phones. I tried manually pairing and that did not work either.

 

Here is an excerpt from the log file...

hi,

 

So what is the answer? Upgrading the BTOE to 3.8? As we are having the same issue. All of a sudden the polycom UC 5.8 phone could no longer pair with BTOE 3.7.0. Manuel pairing does not work either. I just tried downloading BTOE 3.8 and installed it on 1 of the user system and it's still not working. Any other suggestion? Thanks!

BToE 3.8.0 will only work with UC Software 5.8.0 or later
UC Software 5.8.0 or later will only work with BToE 3.8.0 or later

If you find an issue with any of the above please open a ticket with your reseller

Hi Steffen,

it is very bad, that BToE 3.8.0 only work together with UC 5.8+.
Why is BToE 3.8.0 not backward compatible ?
Because it's not downward compatible, you can't simply go to the new versions of BToE and UC, because there will always be users who have problems because one of them doesn't fit.
If BToE 3.8.0 were downward compatible, you could only update it and if all users had it, you would do the UC update and the users would hardly notice anything.

Could it be that BToE 3.8.0 has been pulled back? It can no longer be found on the download page.

thanks,Oliver

Hello @Oliver.R,

 

welcome back to the Polycom Community.


Due important security updates on both the BToE application and the UC Software a backward compatibility could not be ensured.

 

BToE 3.8.0 has not been removed and for example be found => here <=
