We just migrated to the VVX 600 model and can't seem to get any of our Plantronics Supra headsets to work (link).   According to polycom's compatibility list they are totally fine, yet we can't seem to make them work on any of our phones.  Nothing I've tried seems to work, including changing the hookswitch mode - which I don't think even applies for this model.  The phones are running version 5.0.1.4068.  

 

Also - totally unrelated but all of our VVX 400's are running abnormally slow (we got them a few days ago) - the cpu usage shows around 50 percent at idle, which doesnt seem right.  You could dial a number and it would appear on the screen with a lag.  This also applies to any inbound and outbound calls.  

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks everyone!

Andrew

Hello Andrew,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

 

The first task should be to update the phones to a currently supported software version. This is at present UC Software 5.2.2


The community's VoIP FAQ contains this post here:

Oct 7, 2011 Question: How can I setup my Phone / Provisioning / Download / Upgrade / Update / Downgrade Software?
Resolution: Please check => here <=

 

It would also be useful if you once this is done and still have issues to specify if this is a SIP server or LYNC.

We solved the headset issue - as it turns out, plantronics manufactures two identical cords that each work with polycom or cisco phones.  However, our VVX 400's are still unusually slow, and I don't believe it is a firmware issue.  Please let me know how I can rectify this.

 

Thanks,

Andrew

Hello Andrew,

 

You did not yet reply to my additional question and neither explained if you upgraded the software or not.

For those who are having the same or similar problem and are looking for the cable that is needed you will need the U10P one.

 

The Cisco cord is called the Plantornics M22/M12 cord where as the cord the Polycom VVX phones is called the Plantronics U10P cord

 

For anyone who are trying to utilize Plantronics corded headsets with their Polycom VVX phones you need to make sure you get the U10P cable and not the other ones like the U10P-S which is different.

Thanks for your answer on the first part. We just changed over from Cisco phones to Polycom VVX 310 and our headsets were not working when connecting directly to the back of the Polycom's. I searched high and low for the answer and you answered it. 

Polycom - You should include this in some sort of documentation, as I was pulling my hair out as to why the headsets were NOT working. Going to order the correct cord and hopefully this will fix the issue.

 

Thank you, 

Rob
