Any phone not automatically having the Skype for Business Option from Fatcory default requires a Polycom per phone Software license.

 

Jan 26, 2016 Question:Do I require a License to use Polycom VVX Business Media Phones with a Lync Server / Skype for Business server ?

License requirements for Polycom VVX Business Media Phones not using a Lync / Skype for Business SKU:

 

Please be aware of the following License requirement:

 

The use of Polycom UC Software versions 4.1.X (“Software”) requires the purchase of a separate Software license for every device that will use the Software in a Lync / Skype for Business environment. You may not install, access, or use the Software in a Lync / Skype for Business environment on more devices than are listed on your license until additional licenses have been purchased and authorized by Polycom. These licenses should be purchased from the same company from which you purchased the devices. You may operate devices against a Lync / Skype for Business server for trial purposes for up to 30 days without purchasing a license.

  • Since UCS 4.1.0 the compatible VVX range of Phones can use the Microsoft LYNC Pin & Extension sign in functionality for an easier Login process.

 

  • Since UCS 4.1.1 the SoundPoint IP 450, 550, 560, 650, SoundStation IP 5000 and SoundStation Duo can use the Microsoft LYNC Pin & Extension sign in functionality for an easier Login process.

 

The pre-requisite for the above is to configuring DHCP Options to Enable Sign-in for IP Phones. 

 

DHCP Option 43 for the vendor class and Option 120 for the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the certification authority (CA) pool Registrar need to be setup.

 

In addition the Option 42 for a time server are required in order to verify the certificate.

 

For more information on setting up DHCP, see Setting Up DHCP for Devices on the Microsoft TechNet site.

 

NOTE: The above is a standard for LYNC/Skype for Business and you need to work with your Microsoft support team in order to set this up in your network!

 

You can still utilize a username login functionality on all phones supporting LYNC.

 

UCS 5.0.0 added additional BToE functionality.

 

In order for a phone to be able to use any of the above the base profile needs to be changed to LYNC from the phone idle screen using the multi-key combo (MKC) shortcut.

 

To set the Base Profile to Skype for Business using the Web Interface:

  2. From the idle screen, press and hold the following key combination on the phone keypad for about 3 seconds. These multi-key combo (MKC) keys vary by phone.

  4. VVX 30x, 31x, 40x, and 41x business media phones: 1, 4, 9

  5. VVX 50x and 60x business media phones: 1, 4, 9

  10. In the Base Profile menu, select Lync.

    image

The phone will reboot after this.

Pressing the Sign In Key (May need to press the More key before) will present you with these Options:

Jan 25, 2016 Question:How many Lines can I register using Polycom phones with Lync Server / Skype for Business server?

Resolution: UC Software 5.8.0 for VVX phones and UC Software 5.5.2 for Polycom Trio added the Hybrid registration feature. Details are in the Admin Guide or => here <= up to 3 different lines. The first one must be Skype for Business / Office 365

In addition, a Parameter can be utilized that pushes all configured keys to the Expansion Module (UC Software 5.4.x😞

 

<line regOnPhone="1"/>
  • If 1, contacts users assign to a line key are pushed to the attached expansion module.
  • If 0, contacts return to the position the user assigned on the phone line keys

 

From UC Software 5.5.x onwards:

The Polycom Trio 8800 and Trio 8500 support Video on Skype for Business and Office 365

 

UPDATE:

 

Since UC Software 5.8.1 the VVX501 and VVX601 support the Polycom EagleEye Mini USB Camera.

 

When BToE is enabled and the video-enabled phone is paired to the Skype for Business client on your computer, the preference for transmitting and receiving video streams is given to Skype for Business client. The preference is given to VVX phones only when the phone unpairs with the Skype for Business client. You can place all Skype for Business related calls from VVX phones as audio-only irrespective of the call mode selected on the phone. However, users can choose to enable video from the paired Skype for Business client
