Overview  
This chapter provides an overview of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)  
application and how the phones fit into the network configuration.  
SIP is the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard for multimedia  
conferencing over IP. It is an ASCII-based, application-layer control protocol  
(defined in RFC 3261) that can be used to establish, maintain, and terminate  
calls between two or more endpoints. Like other voice over IP (VoIP)  
protocols, SIP is designed to address the functions of signaling and session  
management within a packet telephony network. Signaling allows call  
information to be carried across network boundaries. Session management  
provides the ability to control the attributes of an end-to-end call.  
For the SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP phones to successfully operate as a  
SIP endpoint in your network, it must meet the following requirements:  
A working IP network is established.  
Routers are configured for VoIP.  
VoIP gateways are configured for SIP.  
The latest (or compatible) SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP phone SIP  
application image is available.  
A call server is active and configured to receive and send SIP messages.

System on page 4-1. To troubleshoot any problems with your SoundPoint IP /  
SoundStation IP phones on the network, refer to Troubleshooting Your  
Where SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP Phones Fit  
The phones connect physically to a standard office twisted-pair (IEEE 802.3)  
10/100 megabytes per second Ethernet LAN and send and receive all data  
using the same packet-based technology. Since the phone is a data terminal,  
digitized audio being just another type of data from its perspective, the phone  
is capable of vastly more than traditional business phones. AsSoundPoint IP /  
SoundStation IP phones run the same protocols as your office personal  
computer, many innovative applications can be developed without resorting  
to specialized technology.

Overview  
Session Initiation Protocol Application Architecture  
The software architecture of SIP application is made of 4 basic components:  
BootROM—loads first when the phone is powered on  
Application—software that makes the device a phone  
Configuration—configuration parameters stored in separate files  
Resource Files—optional, needed by some of the advanced features  
Configuration  
Resource  
Files  
bootROM  
Application  
BootROM  
The bootROM is a small application that resides in the flash memory on the  
phone. All phones come from the factory with a bootROM pre-loaded.  
The bootROM performs the following tasks in order:  
1. Performs a power on self test (POST).  
2. (Optional) Allows you to enter the setup menu where various network on  
provisioning options can be set.  
The bootROM software controls the user interface when the setup menu is  
accessed.  
3. Requests IP settings and accesses the boot server to look for any updates  
to the bootROM application.  
If updates are found, they are downloaded and saves to flash memory,  
eventually overwriting itself after verifying the integrity of the download.  
4. If a new bootROM is downloaded, format the file system clearing out any  
application software or configuration files that may have been present.

Administrator’s Guide SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP  
5. Download the master configuration file.  
This file is either called <mac-address>.cfg or 000000000000.cfg . This file  
is used by the both the bootROM and the application for a list of other files  
that are needed for the operation of the phone.  
6. Examine the master configuration file for the name of the application file,  
and then look for this file on the boot server.  
If the copy on the boot server is different than the one stored in flash  
memory or, if there is no file stored in flash memory, the application file is  
downloaded.  
If the Application is any SIP version prior to 1.5, the bootROM will also download all  
the configuration files that are listed in the master configuration file.  
Note  
7. Extract the application from flash memory.  
8. Install the application into RAM, then upload a log file with events from  
the boot cycle.  
The bootROM will then terminate, and the application takes over.  
Application  
The application manages the VoIP stack, the digital signal processor (DSP), the  
user interface, and the network interaction. The application managed  
everything to do with the phone’s operation.  
The application is a single file binary image and, as of SIP 1.5, contains a digital  
signature to prevent tampering or loading or rogue software images.  
If your phones are using bootROM 3.0 or later, the application must be signed.  
Warning  
All SIP 1.5 applications and later are signed, but later patched versions of 1.3 and  
1.4 support this feature. Refer to the latest Release Notes to verify if the image is  
signed.  
There is a new image file in each release of software.  
The application performs the following tasks in order:  
1. Downloads system and per-phone configuration files and resource files.  
These files are called sip.cfg and phone1.cfg by default. You can  
customized the filenames.  
If the Application is any SIP version prior to 1.5, the bootROM would have  
downloaded all the configuration files that are listed in the master configuration file.

Overview  
2. Controls all aspects of the phone after it has restarted.  
3. Uploads log files.  
BootROM and Application Wrapper  
Both the bootROM and the application run on multiple platforms (meaning all  
previously released versions of hardware that are still supported).  
The file stored on the boot server is a wrapper, with multiple hardware specific  
images contained within. When a new bootROM or application is being saved,  
the file is read until a header matching the hardware model and revision are  
found, and then only this image is saved to flash memory.  
Configuration  
The SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP phones can be configured automatically  
through files stored on a central boot server, manually through the phone’s  
local UI or web interface, or a combination of the automatic and manual  
methods.  
The recommended method for configuring phones is automatically through a  
central boot server, but if one is not available, the manual method will allow  
changes to most of the key settings.  
The phone configuration files consist of:  
Configuration files should only be modified by a knowledgeable system  
Warning  
administrator. Applying incorrect parameters may render the phone unusable. The  
configuration files which accompany a specific release of the SIP software must be  
used together with that software. Failure to do this may render the phone unusable.  
Master Configuration Files  
The master configuration files can be one of:  
Specified master configuration file  
Per-phone master configuration file  
Default master configuration file  
For more information, refer to Master Configuration Files on page A-2.

Administrator’s Guide SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP  
Application Configuration Files  
Typically, the files are arranged in the following manner although parameters  
may be moved around within the files and the filenames themselves can be  
changed as needed. These files dictate the behavior of the phone once it is  
running the executable specified in the master configuration file.  
The application files are:  
Application—It contains parameters that affect the basic operation of the  
phone such as voice codecs, gains, and tones and the IP address of an  
application server. All phones in an installation usually share this category  
of files. Polycom recommends that you create another file with your  
organization’s modifications. If you must change any Polycom templates,  
back them up first. By default, sip.cfg is included.  
Per-phone—It contains parameters unique to a particular phone user.  
Typical parameters include:  
display name  
unique addresses  
Each phone in an installation usually has its own customized version of  
user files derived from Polycom templates. By default, phone1.cfg is  
included.  
Central Provisioning  
The phones can be centrally provisioned from a boot server through a system  
of global and per-phone configuration files. The boot server also facilitates  
automated application upgrades, logging, and a measure of fault tolerance.  
Multiple redundant boot servers can be configured to improve reliability.  
In the central provisioning method, there are two major classifications of  
configuration files:  
System configuration files  
Per-phone configuration files  
Parameters can be stored in the files in any order and can be placed in any  
number of files. The default is to have 2 files, one for per-phone setting and one  
for system settings. The per-phone file is typically loaded first, and could  
contain system level parameters, letting you override that parameter for a  
given user. For example, it might be desirable to set the default CODEC for a  
remote user differently than for all the users who reside in the head office. By  
adding the CODEC settings to a particular user’s per-phone file, the values in  
the system file are ignored.  
Verify the order of the configuration files. Parameters in the configuration file loaded  
first will overwrite those in later configuration files.

Overview  
The following figure shows one possible layout of the central provisioning  
method.  
Manual Configuration  
When the manual configuration method is employed, any changes made are  
stored in a configuration override file. This file is stored on the phone, but a  
copy will also be uploaded to the central boot server if one is being used. When  
the phone boots, this file is loaded by the application after any centrally  
provisioned files have been read, and its settings will override those in the  
centrally provisioned files.  
This can create a lot of confusion about where parameters are being set, and so  
it is best to avoid using the manual method unless you have good reason to do  
so.  
Resource Files  
In addition to the application and the configuration files, the phones may  
require resource files that are used by some of the advanced features. These  
files are optional, but if the particular feature is being employed, these files are  
required.  
Some examples of resource files include:  
Language dictionaries  
Custom fonts

Setting up Your System  
Your SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP SIP phone is designed to be used like a  
regular phone on a public switched telephone network (PSTN).  
This chapter provides basic instructions for setting up your SoundPoint IP /  
SoundStation IP phones. This chapter contains information on:  
Because of the large number of optional installations and configurations that  
are available, this chapter focuses on one particular way that the SIP  
application and the required external systems might initially be installed and  
configured in your network.  
For more information on configuring your system, refer to Configuring Your  
System on page 4-1. For more information on the configuration files required  
for setting up your system, refer to Configuration Files on page A-1.  
For installation and maintenance of Polycom SoundPoint IP phones, the use of a  
boot server is strongly recommended. This allows for flexibility in installing,  
upgrading, maintaining, and configuring the phone. Configuration, log, and directory  
files are normally located on this server. Allowing the phone write access to the  
server is encouraged.  
Note  
The phone is designed such that, if it cannot locate a boot server when it boots up,  
it will operate with internally saved parameters. This is useful for occasions when  
the boot server is not available, but is not intended to be used for long-term

Setting Up the Network  
Regardless of whether or not you will be installing a centrally provisioned  
system, you must perform basic TCP/IP network setup, such as IP address  
and subnet mask configuration, to get your organization’s phones up and  
running.  
The bootROM application uses the network to query the boot server for  
upgrades, which is an optional process that will happen automatically when  
properly deployed. For more information on the basic network settings, refer  
The bootROM on the phone performs the provisioning functions of  
downloading the bootROM, the <Ethernet address>.cfg file, and the SIP  
application, and uploading log files. For more information, refer to Supported  
Basic network settings can be changed during bootROM download using the  
bootROM’s setup menu. A similar menu system is present in the application  
for changing the same network parameters. For more information, refer to  
DHCP or Manual TCP/IP Setup  
Basic network settings can be derived from DHCP, or entered manually using  
the phone’s LCD-based user interface, or downloaded from configuration  
files.  
Polycom recommends using DHCP where possible to eliminate repetitive manual  
data entry.  
The following table shows the manually entered networking parameters that  
may be overridden by parameters obtained from a DHCP server, an alternate  
DHCP server, or configuration file:

Supported Provisioning Protocols  
The bootROM performs the provisioning functions of downloading  
configuration files, uploading and downloading the configuration override  
file and user directory, and downloading the dictionary and uploading log  
files.  
The protocol that will be used to transfer files from the boot server depends on  
several factors including the phone model and whether the bootROM or SIP  
application stage of provisioning is in progress. By default, the phones are  
shipped with FTP enabled as the provisioning protocol. If an unsupported  
protocol is specified, this may result in a defined behavior (see the table below  
for details of which protocol the phone will use). The Specified Protocol listed  
in the table can be selected in the Server Type field or the Server Address can  
include a transfer protocol, for example http://usr:pwd@server (refer to  
Server Menu on page 3-9). The boot server address can be an IP address,  
domain string name, or URL. The boot server address can also be obtained  
through DHCP. Configuration file names in the <Ethernet address>.cfg file  
can include a transfer protocol, for example  
https://usr:pwd@server/dir/file.cfg. If a user name and password are  
specified as part of the server address or file name, they will be used only if the  
server supports them.  
A URL should contain forward slashes instead of back slashes and should not  
contain spaces. Escape characters are not supported. If a user name and  
password are not specified, the Server User and Server Password will be used  
(refer to Server Menu on page 3-9).

Setting up Your System  
Setting Option 66 to tftp://192.168.9.10 has the effect of forcing a TFTP download.  
Using a TFTP URL (for example, tftp://provserver.polycom.com) has the same  
effect.  
Note  
For downloading the bootROM and application images to the phone, the  
secure HTTPS protocol is not available. To guarantee software integrity, the  
bootROM will only download cryptographically signed bootROM or  
application images. For HTTPS, widely recognized certificate authorities are  
trusted by the phone and custom certificates can be added (refer to Trusted  
Modifying the Network Configuration  
You can access the network configuration menu:  
During bootROM Phase. The network configuration menu is accessible  
during the auto-boot countdown of the bootROM phase of operation.  
Press the Setup soft key to launch the main menu.  
During Application Phase. The network configuration menu is accessible  
from the phone’s main menu. Select Menu>Settings>Advanced>Admin  
Settings>Network Configuration. Advanced Settings are locked by  
default. Enter the administrator password to unlock. The factory default  
password is 456.  
Phone network configuration parameters may be modified by means of:  
Use the soft keys, the arrow keys, the Select and Delete keys to make changes.  
Certain parameters are read-only due to the value of other parameters. For  
example, if the DHCP Client parameter is enabled, the Phone IP Addr and  
Subnet Mask parameters are dimmed or not visible since these are guaranteed  
to be supplied by the DHCP server (mandatory DHCP parameters) and the  
statically assigned IP address and subnet mask will never be used in this  
configuration.  
Resetting to Factory Defaults  
The basic network configuration referred to in the following sections can be  
reset to factory defaults using a multiple key combination described in

Administrator’s Guide SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP  
The syslog protocol is a very simplistic protocol: the syslog sender sends a  
small textual message (less than 1024 bytes) to the syslog receiver. The receiver  
is commonly called "syslogd", "syslog daemon" or "syslog server". Syslog  
messages can be sent through UDP, TCP, or TLS. The data is sent in cleartext.  
Syslog is supported by a wide variety of devices and receivers. Because of this,  
syslog can be used to integrate log data from many different types of systems  
into a central repository.

Setting Up the Boot Server  
The boot server can be on the local LAN or anywhere on the Internet.  
Multiple boot servers can be configured by having the boot server DNS name  
map to multiple IP addresses. The default number of boot servers is one and  
the maximum number is eight. The following protocols are supported for  
redundant boot servers: HTTPS, HTTP, and FTP. For more information on the  
protocol used on each platform, refer to Supported Provisioning Protocols on  
page 3-4.  
3 - 12  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
Setting up Your System  
All of the boot servers must be reachable by the same protocol and the content  
available on them must be identical. The parameters described in section  
Server Menu on page 3-9 can be used to configure the number of times each  
server will be tried for a file transfer and also how long to wait between each  
attempt. The maximum number of servers to be tried is configurable. For more  
information, contact your Certified Polycom Reseller.  
Be aware of how logs, overrides and directories are uploaded to servers that maps  
to multiple IP addresses. The server that these files are uploaded to may change  
over time.  
Note  
If you want to use redundancy for uploads, synchronize the files between servers in  
the background.  
However, you may want to disable the redundancy for uploads by specifying  
specific IP addresses instead of URLs for logs, overrides, and directory in the  
MACaddress.cfg .  
To set up the boot server:  
Use this procedure as a recommendation if this is your first boot server setup.  
Note  
1. Install boot server application or locate suitable existing server(s).  
Polycom recommends that you use RFC-compliant servers.  
2. Create account and home directory.  
If the provisioning protocol requires an account name and password, the server  
account name and password must match those configured in the phones. Defaults  
are: provisioning protocol: FTP, name: PlcmSpIp, password: PlcmSpIp.  
Note  
Each phone may open multiple connections to the server.  
The phone will attempt to upload log files, a configuration override file,  
and a directory file to the server. This requires that the phone’s account has  
delete, write, and read permissions. The phone will still function without  
these permissions, but will not be able to upload files.  
The files downloaded from the server by the phone should be made  
read-only.  
Typically all phones are configured with the same server account, but the server  
account provides a means of conveniently partitioning the configuration. Give each  
account an unique home directory on the server and change the configuration on  
an account-by-account basis.

3. Copy all files from the distribution zip file to the phone home directory.  
Maintain the same folder hierarchy.  
The distribution zip file contains:  
— sip.ld (including a separate one for every supported model)  
— sip.cfg  
— phone1.cfg  
— 000000000000.cfg  
— 000000000000-directory~.xml  
— SoundPointIP-dictionary.xml  
— SoundPointIPWelcome.wav  
Refer to the Release Notes for a detailed description of each file in the  
distribution.  
Boot Server Security Policy  
You must decide on a boot server security policy.  
Polycom recommends allowing file uploads to the boot server where the security  
environment permits. This allows event log files to be uploaded and changes made  
by the phone user to the configuration (through the web server and local user  
interface) and changes made to the directory to be backed up.  
For organizational purposes, configuring a separate log file directory is  
recommended, but not required. (For more information on  
LOG_FILE_DIRECTORY, refer to Master Configuration Files on page A-2.)  
File permissions should give the minimum access required and the account  
used should have no other rights on the server.  
The phone's server account needs to be able to add files to which it can write  
in the log file directory and the root directory. It must also be able to list files  
in all directories mentioned in the [mac].cfg file. All other files that the phone  
needs to read, such as the application executable and the standard  
configuration files, should be made read-only through file server file  
permissions.

c
Create per-phone or per-platform <Ethernet address>.cfg files by  
using the 00000000000.cfg and files from the distribution as templates.  
For more information, refer to Master Configuration Files on page  
A-2.  
Edit the CONFIG_FILES attribute of the <Ethernet address>.cfg files  
so that it references the appropriate phone[MACaddress].cfg file.  
For example, replace the reference to phone1.cfg with  
phone[MACaddress].cfg.  
Edit the CONFIG_FILES attribute of the <Ethernet address>.cfg files  
so that it references the appropriate sipXXXX.cfg file.  
For example, replace the reference to sip.cfg with sip650.cfg.  
d
e
Edit the LOG_FILE_DIRECTORY attribute of the <Ethernet  
address>.cfg files so that it points to the log file directory.  
Edit the CONTACT_DIRECTORY attribute of the <Ethernet  
address>.cfg files so that it points to the organization’s contact  
directory.  
4. Reboot the phones by pressing the reboot multiple key combination.  
For more information, refer to Multiple Key Combinations on page C-9.  
The bootROM and SIP application modify the APPLICATION  
APP_FILE_PATH attribute of the <Ethernet address>.cfg files so that it  
references the appropriate sip.ld files.  
For example, the reference to sip.ld is changed to 2345-11605-001.sip.ld to  
boot the SoundPoint IP 601 image.  
At this point , the phone sends a DHCP Discover packet to the DHCP server. This  
is found in the Bootstrap Protocol/option "Vendor Class Identifier" section of the  
packet and includes the phone’s part number and the bootROM version.  
Note  
For example, a SoundPoint IP 650 might send the following information:  
5EL@  
DC?5cSc52*46*(9N7*<u6=pPolycomSoundPointIP-SPIP_6502345-12600-001,1B

5. Monitor the boot server event log and the uploaded event log files (if  
permitted).  
Ensure that the configuration process completed correctly. All  
configuration files used by the boot server are logged.  
You can now instruct your users to start making calls.  
Upgrading SIP Application  
You can upgrade the SIP application that is running on the SoundPoint IP and  
SoundStation IP phones in your organization. The exact steps that you  
perform are dependent on the version of the SIP application that is currently  
running on the phones and the version that want to upgrade to.  
The bootROM, application executable, and configuration files can be updated  
automatically through the centralized provisioning model. These files are  
read-only by default.  
Most organization can use the instructions shown in the next section,  
However, if your organization has a mixture of SoundPoint IP 300 and/or 500  
phones deployed along with other models, you will need to change the phone  
configuration files to continue to support the SoundPoint IP 300 and IP 500  
phones when software releases SIP 2.2.0 or later are deployed. These models  
were discontinued as of May 2006. In this case , refer to Supporting  
The SoundPoint IP 300 and 500 phones will be supported on the latest  
Warning  
maintenance patch release of the SIP 2.1 software stream—currently SIP 2.1.2.  
Any critical issues that affect SoundPoint IP 300 and 500 phones will be addressed  
by a maintenance patch on this stream until the End of Life date for these products.  
Phones should be upgraded to BootROM 4.0.0 for these changes to be effective.  
Supporting SoundPoint IP and SoundStation IP Phones  
To automatically update:  
1. Back up old application and configuration files.  
The old configuration can be easily restored by reverting to the backup  
files.

Administrator’s Guide SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP  
2. Customize new configuration files or apply new or changed parameters  
to the old configuration files.  
Differences between old and new versions of configuration files are  
explained in the Release Notes that accompany the software. Both  
mandatory and optional changes may present. Changes to site-wide  
configuration files such as sip.cfg can be done manually, but a scripting  
tool is useful to change per-phone configuration files.  
The configuration files listed in CONFIG_FILES attribute of the master configuration  
file must be updated when the software is updated. Any new configuration files  
must be added to the CONFIG_FILES attribute in the appropriate order.  
Warning  
Mandatory changes must be made or the software may not behave as expected.  
IP Phones” whitepaper at www.polycom.com/support/voice/ .  
3. Save the new configuration files and images (such as sip.ld) on the boot  
server.  
4. Reboot the phones by pressing the reboot multiple key combination.  
For more information, refer to Multiple Key Combinations on page C-9.  
Since the APPLICATION APP_FILE_PATH attribute of the <Ethernet  
address>.cfg files references the individual sip.ld files, it is possible to  
verify that an update is applied to phones of a particular model.  
For example, the reference to sip.ld is changed to 2345-11605-001.sip.ld to  
boot the SoundPoint IP 601 image.  
The phones can be rebooted remotely through the SIP signaling protocol.  
The phones can be configured to periodically poll the boot server to check for  
changed configuration files or application executable. If a change is detected,  
the phone will reboot to download the change. Refer to Provisioning <prov/>  
on page A-75.  
Supporting SoundPoint IP 300 and 500 Phones  
With enhancements in BootROM 4.0.0 and SIP 2.1.2, you can modify the  
000000000000.cfg or <Ethernet address>.cfg configuration file to direct  
phones to load the software image and configuration files based on the phone  
model number. Refer to Master Configuration Files on page A-2.  
The SIP 2.2.0 or later software distributions contain both new distribution files  
for the new release and a uniquely named version of the SIP 2.1.2 release files  
that is compatible with SoundPoint IP 300 and 500 phones.

Setting up Your System  
The following procedure must be used for upgrading to SIP 2.2.0 or later for  
installations that have SoundPoint IP 300 and 500 phones deployed. It is also  
recommended that this same approach be followed even if SoundPoint IP 300  
and 500 phones are not part of the deployment as it will simplify management  
of phone systems with future software releases.  
To upgrade your SIP application:  
1. Do one of the following steps:  
a
Place the bootrom.ld file corresponding to BootROM revision 4.0.0 (or  
later) onto the boot server.  
b
Ensure that all phones are running BootROM 4.0.0 or later code.  
2. Copy sip.ld, sip.cfg and phone1.cfg from the SIP2.2.0 or later release  
distribution onto the boot server.  
These are the relevant files for all phones except the SoundPoint IP 300 and  
500 phones.  
3. Copy sip_212.ld, sip_212.cfg, and phone1_212.cfg files from the SIP 2.2.0  
or later release onto the boot server.  
These are the relevant files for supporting the SoundPoint IP 300 and 500  
phones.  
4. Modify the 000000000000.cfg file, if required, to match your configuration  
file structure.  
For example:  
<APPLICATION  
APP_FILE_PATH="sip.ld"  
APP_FILE_PATH_SPIP500="sip_212.ld"  
APP_FILE_PATH_SPIP300="sip_212.ld"  
CONFIG_FILES="[PHONE_MAC_ADDRESS]-user.cfg, phone1.cfg, sip.cfg"  
CONFIG_FILES_SPIP500="[PHONE_MAC_ADDRESS]-user.cfg,  
phone1_212.cfg, sip_212.cfg"  
CONFIG_FILES_SPIP300="[PHONE_MAC_ADDRESS]-user.cfg,  
phone1_212.cfg, sip_212.cfg"

This approach takes advantage of an enhancement that was added in  
Note  
SIP2.0.1/BootROM 3.2.1 that allows for the substitution of the phone specific  
[MACADDRESS] inside configuration files. This avoids the need to create unique  
<Ethernet address>.cfg files for each phone such that the default  
000000000000.cfg file can be used for all phones in a deployment.  
If this approach is not used, then changes will need to be made to all the <Ethernet  
address>.cfg files for SoundPoint IP 300 and 500 phones or all of the <Ethernet  
address>.cfg files if it is not explicitly known which phones are SoundPoint IP 300  
and 500 phones.

Configuring Your System  
Call Log  
The phone maintains a call log. The log contains call information such as  
remote party identification, time and date, and call duration. It can be used to  
redial previous outgoing calls, return incoming calls, and save contact  
information from call log entries to the contact directory.  
The call log is stored in volatile memory and is maintained automatically by  
the phone in three separate lists: Missed Calls, Received Calls and Placed  
Calls. The call lists can be cleared manually by the user and will be erased  
when the phone is restarted.  
On some SoundPoint IP platforms, missed calls and received calls appear in one  
Note  
list. Missed calls appear as  
and received calls appear as

Call Timer  
A call timer is provided on the display. A separate call timer is maintained for  
each distinct call in progress. The call duration appears in hours, minutes, and  
seconds.  
There are no related configuration changes.  
Call Waiting  
When an incoming call arrives while the user is active on another call, the  
incoming call is presented to the user visually on the LCD display. A  
configurable sound effect such as the familiar call-waiting beep will be mixed  
with the active call audio as well.  
Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server:

Called Party Identification  
The phone displays and logs the identity of the remote party specified for  
outgoing calls. This is the party that the user intends to connect with.  
There are no related configuration changes.  
Calling Party Identification  
The phone displays the caller identity, derived from the network signalling,  
when an incoming call is presented, if the information is provided by the call  
server. For calls from parties for which a directory entry exists, the local name  
assigned to the directory entry may optionally be substituted.

Missed Call Notification  
The phone can display the number of calls missed since the user last looked at  
the Missed Calls list. The types of calls that are counted as “missed” can be  
configured per registration. Remote missed call notification can be used to  
notify the phone when a call originally destined for it is diverted by another  
entity such as a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) server.  
On some SoundPoint IP platforms, missed calls and received calls appear in one  
list.

The identity of the remote party to which the user has connected is displayed  
and logged, if the name and ID is provided by the call server. The connected  
party identity is derived from the network signaling. In some cases the remote  
party will be different from the called party identity due to network call  
diversion.  
There are no related configuration changes.  
Context Sensitive Volume Control  
The volume of user interface sound effects, such as the ringer, and the receive  
volume of call audio is adjustable. While transmit levels are fixed according to  
the TIA/EIA-810-A standard, receive volume is adjustable. For SoundPoint IP  
and phones, if using the default configuration parameters, the receive  
handset/headset volume resets to nominal after each call to comply with  
regulatory requirements. Handsfree volume persists with subsequent calls.

Do Not Disturb  
A Do Not Disturb (DND) feature is available to temporarily stop all incoming  
call alerting. Calls can optionally be treated as though the phone is busy while  
DND is enabled. DND can be configured as a per-registration feature.  
Incoming calls received while DND is enabled are logged as missed. For more  
information on forwarding calls while DND is enabled, refer to Call Forward  
on page 4-18.  
Server-based DND is active if the feature is enabled on both the phone and the  
server and the phone is registered. The server-based DND feature is applicable  
for all registrations on the phone (no per-registration mode) and it disables  
local Call Forward and DND features.  
Server-based DND will behave the same as per-SIP2.1 per-registration feature  
with the following exceptions:  
There is no indication on the phone’s user interface whether or not  
server-based DND is active.  
If server-based DND is enabled, but inactive, and the user presses the  
DND key or selects the DND option on the Feature menu, the “Do Not  
Disturb” message does not appear on the user’s phone (incoming call  
alerting will continue).  
Server-based DND is disabled if Shared Call Appearance or Bridged Line  
Appearance is enabled.

Local Digit Map  
The phone has a local digit map feature to automate the setup phase of  
number-only calls. When properly configured, this feature eliminates the need  
for using the Dial or Send soft key when making outgoing calls. As soon as a  
digit pattern matching the digit map is found, the call setup process will  
complete automatically. The configuration syntax is the same as that specified  
in 2.1.5 of RFC 3435. The phone behavior when the user dials digits that do not  
match the digit map is configurable. It is also possible to strip a trailing # from  
the digits sent or to replace certain matched digits (with the introduction of  
“R” to the digit map).

Ethernet Switch  
The SoundPoint IP and SoundStation IP phones contain two Ethernet ports,  
labeled LAN and PC, and an embedded Ethernet switch that runs at full  
line-rate. The Ethernet switch allows a personal computer and other Ethernet  
devices to connect to the office LAN by daisy chaining through the phone,  
eliminating the need for a stand-alone hub. The SoundPoint IP switch gives  
higher transmit priority to packets originating in the phone. The phone can be  
powered through a local AC power adapter or can be line-powered (power  
supplied through the signaling or idle pairs of the LAN Ethernet cable). Line  
powering typically requires that the phone plugs directly into a dedicated  
LAN jack. Devices that do not require LAN power can then plug into the  
SoundPoint IP PC Ethernet port.  
SoundPoint IP Switch - Port Priorities  
To help ensure good voice quality, the Ethernet switch embedded in the  
SoundPoint IP phones should be configured to give voice traffic emanating  
from the phone higher transmit priority than those from a device connected to  
the PC port. If not using a VLAN (VLAN set to blank in the setup menu), this  
will automatically be the case. If using a VLAN, ensure that the 802.1p  
priorities for both default and real-time transport protocol (RTP) packet types  
are set to 2 or greater. Otherwise, these packets will compete equally with  
those from the PC port. For more information, refer to Quality of Service  
<QOS/> on page A-47.

Call Hold  
The purpose of hold is to pause activity on one call so that the user may use  
the phone for another task, such as to make or receive another call. Network  
signaling is employed to request that the remote party stop sending media and  
to inform them that they are being held. A configurable local hold reminder  
feature can be used to remind the user that they have placed calls on hold.  
Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server or locally:

Call Transfer  
Call transfer enables the user (party A) to move an existing call (party B) into  
a new call between party B and another user (party C) selected by party A. The  
phone offers three types of transfers:  
Blind transfers—The call is transferred immediately to party C after party  
A has finished dialing party C’s number. Party A does not hear ring-back.  
Attended transfers—Party A dials party C’s number and hears ring-back  
and decides to complete the transfer before party C answers. This option  
can be disabled.  
Consultative transfers—Party A dials party C’s number and talks  
privately with party C after the call is answered, and then completes the  
transfer or hangs up.  
Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server:

Local / Centralized Conferencing  
The phone can conference together the local user with the remote parties of a  
configurable number of independent calls by using the phone’s local audio  
processing resources for the audio bridging. There is no dependency on  
network signaling for local conferences.  
The phone also supports centralized conferences for which external resources  
are used such as a conference bridge. This relies on network signaling.  
Conferences are not available when the G.729 codec is enabled on the  
SoundStation IP 4000 conference phone.

Call Forward  
The phone provides a flexible call forwarding feature to forward calls to  
another destination. Call forwarding can be applied in the following cases:  
Automatically to all calls  
Calls from a specific caller (extension)  
When the phone is busy  
When Do Not Disturb is active  
After an extended period of alerting  
The user can elect to manually forward calls while they are in the alerting state  
to a predefined or manually specified destination. The call forwarding feature  
works in conjunction with the distinctive incoming call treatment feature  
(refer to Distinctive Incoming Call Treatment on page 4-6). The user’s ability  
to originate calls is unaffected by all call forwarding options. Each registration  
has its own forwarding properties.  
Server-based call forwarding is active if the feature is enabled on both the  
phone and the server and the phone is registered. If server-based call  
forwarding is enabled on any of the phone’s registrations, the other  
registrations are not affected.  
Server-based call forwarding will behave the same as per-SIP2.1 feature with  
the following exceptions:  
There is no indication on the phone’s user interface whether or not  
server-based call forwarding is active.  
If server-based call forwarding is enabled, but inactive, and the user  
selects the call forward soft key, the “moving arrow” icon does not appear  
on the user’s phone (incoming calls are not forwarded).

Instant Messaging  
The phone supports sending and receiving instant text messages. The user is  
alerted to incoming messages visually and audibly. The user can view the  
messages immediately or when it is convenient. For sending messages, the  
user can either select a message from a preset list of short messages or an  
alphanumeric text entry mode allows the typing of custom messages using the  
dial pad. Message sending can be initiated by replying to an incoming

Multilingual User Interface  
This feature is not available on SoundPoint IP 301 phones.  
Note  
The system administrator or the user can select the language. Support for  
major western European languages is included and additional languages can  
be easily added. Support for Asian languages (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean)  
is also included, but will display only on the SoundPoint IP 600, 601, and 650  
and SoundStation IP 4000’s higher resolution display.

Multilingual <ml/> on page A-20. (Note that within a Unicode range, some  
characters may not be supported due to their infrequent usage.)  
The multilingual feature relies on dictionary files resident on the boot server. The  
dictionary files are downloaded from the boot server whenever the language is  
changed or at boot time when a language other than the internal US English  
language has been configured. If the dictionary files are inaccessible, the language  
will revert to the internal language.

Real-Time Transport Protocol Ports  
The phone is compatible with RFC 1889 - RTP: A Transport Protocol for  
Real-Time Applications - and the updated RFCs 3550 and 3551. Consistent  
with RFC 1889, the phone treats all RTP streams as bi-directional from a  
control perspective and expects that both RTP end points will negotiate the  
respective destination IP addresses and ports. This allows real-time transport  
control protocol (RTCP) to operate correctly even with RTP media flowing in  
only a single direction, or not at all. It also allows greater security: packets from  
unauthorized sources can be rejected.  
The phone can filter incoming RTP packets arriving on a particular port by IP  
address. Packets arriving from a non-negotiated IP address can be discarded.  
The phone can also enforce symmetric port operation for RTP packets: packets  
arriving with the source port set to other than the negotiated remote sink port  
can be rejected.  
The phone can also jam the destination transport port to a specified value  
regardless of the negotiated port. This can be useful for punching through  
firewalls. When this is enabled, all RTP traffic will be sent to the specified port  
and will be expected to arrive on that port as well. Incoming packets are sorted  
by the source IP address and port, allowing multiple RTP streams to be  
multiplexed.  
The RTP port range used by the phone can be specified. Since conferencing  
and multiple RTP streams are supported, several ports can be used  
concurrently. Consistent with RFC 1889, the next higher odd port is used to  
send and receive RTCP.

Server Redundancy  
Server redundancy is often required in VoIP deployments to ensure continuity  
of phone service for events where the call server needs to be taken offline for  
maintenance, the server fails, or the connection from the phone to the server  
fails.  
Two types of redundancy are possible:  
Fail-over: In this mode, the full phone system functionality is preserved by  
having a second equivalent capability call server take over from the one  
that has gone down/off-line. This mode of operation should be done  
using DNS mechanisms or “IP Address Moving” from the primary to the  
back-up server.  
Fallback: In this mode, a second less featured call server (router or  
gateway device) with SIP capability takes over call control to provide basic  
calling capability, but without some of the richer features offered by the  
primary call server (for example, shared lines, presence, and Message  
Waiting Indicator). Polycom phones support configuration of multiple  
servers per SIP registration for this purpose.  
In some cases, a combination of the two may be deployed.  
Your SIP server provider should be consulted for recommended methods of  
configuring phones and servers for fail-over configuration.  
Note  
Prior to SIP 2.1, the reg.x.server.yparameters (refer to Registration <reg/> on  
page A-84) could be used for fail-over configuration. The older behavior is no longer  
supported. Customers that are using the reg.x.server.y. configuration  
Warning  
parameters where y>=2 should take care to ensure that their current deployments  
are not adversely affected. For example the phone will only support advanced SIP  
features such as shared lines, missed calls, presence with the primary server (y=1).

DNS SIP Server Name Resolution  
If a DNS name is given for a proxy/registrar address, the IP address(es)  
associated with that name will be discovered as specified in RFC 3263. If a port  
is given, the only lookup will be an A record. If no port is given, NAPTR and  
SRV records will be tried, before falling back on A records if NAPTR and SRV  
records return no results. If no port is given, and none is found through DNS,  
5060 will be used.  
Refer to http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3263.txt for an example.  
Failure to resolve a DNS name is treated as signalling failure that will cause a  
failover.  
Note  
Behavior When the Primary Server Connection Fails  
For Outgoing Calls (INVITE Fallback)  
When the user initiates a call, the phone will go through the following steps to  
connect the call:  
1. Try to make the call using the working server.  
2. If the working server does not respond correctly to the INVITE, then try  
and make a call using the next server in the list (even if there is no current  
registration with these servers). This could be the case if the Internet  
connection has gone down, but the registration to the working server has  
not yet expired.  
3. If the second server is also unavailable, the phone will try all possible  
servers (even those not currently registered) until it either succeeds in  
making a call or exhausts the list at which point the call will fail.  
At the start of a call, server availability is determined by SIP signaling failure.  
SIP signaling failure depends on the SIP protocol being used as described  
below:  
If TCP is used, then the signaling fails if the connection fails or the Send  
fails.  
If UDP is used, then the signaling fails if ICMP is detected or if the signal  
times out. If the signaling has been attempted through all servers in the list  
and this is the last server, then the signaling fails after the complete UDP  
timeout defined in RFC 3261. If it is not the last server in the list, the  
maximum number of retries using the configurable retry timeout is used.

Administrator’s Guide SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP  
If DNS is used to resolve the address for Servers, the DNS server is unavailable,  
Warning  
and the TTL for the DNS records has expired, the phone will attempt to contact the  
DNS server to resolve the address of all servers in its list before initiating a call.  
These attempts will timeout, but the timeout mechanism can cause long delays (for  
example, two minutes) before the phone call proceeds “using the working server”.  
To mitigate this issue, long TTLs should be used. It is strongly recommended that  
an on-site DNS server is deployed as part of the redundancy solution.

Phone Configuration  
The phones at the customer site are configured as follows:  
Server 1 (the primary server) will be configured with the address of the  
service provider call server. The IP address of the server(s) to be used will  
be provided by the DNS server. For example:  
reg.1.server.1.address="voipserver.serviceprovider.com"  
Server 2 (the fallback server) will be configured to the address of the  
router/gateway that provides the fallback telephony support and is  
on-site. For example:  
reg.1.server.2.address=172.23.0.1  
It is possible to configure the phone for more than two servers per registration, but  
you need to exercise caution when doing this to ensure that the phone and network  
load generated by registration refresh of multiple registrations do not become  
excessive. This would be of particularly concern if a phone had multiple  
registrations with multiple servers per registration and it is expected that some of  
these servers will be unavailable.

Configuring Your System  
Phone Operation for Registration  
After the phone has booted up, it will register to all the servers that are  
configured.  
Server 1 is the primary server and supports greater SIP functionality than any  
of servers. For example, SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY services (used for features such  
as shared lines, presence, and BLF) will only be established with Server 1.  
Upon registration timer expiry of each server registration, the phone will  
attempt to re-register. If this is unsuccessful, normal SIP re-registration  
behavior (typically at intervals of 30 to 60 seconds) will proceed and continue  
until the registration is successful (for example, when the Internet link is once  
again operational). While the primary server registration is unavailable, the  
next highest priority server in the list will serve as the working server. As soon  
as the primary server registration succeeds, it will return to being the working  
server.  
If reg.x.server.y.registeris set to 0, then phone will not register to that server.  
However, the INVITE will fail over to that server if all higher priority servers are  
down.  
Note  
Recommended Practices for Fallback Deployments  
In situations where server redundancy for fall-back purpose is used, the  
following measures should be taken to optimize the effectiveness of the  
solution:  
1. Deploy an on-site DNS server to avoid long call initiation delays that can  
result if the DNS server records expire.  
2. Do not use OutBoundProxy configurations on the phone if the  
OutBoundProxy could be unreachable when the fallback occurs.  
SoundPoint IP phones can only be configured with one OutBoundProxy  
per registration and all traffic for that registration will be routed through  
this proxy for all servers attached to that registration. If Server 2 is not  
accessible through the configured proxy, call signaling with Server 2 will  
fail.  
3. Avoid using too many servers as part of the redundancy configuration as  
each registration will generate more traffic.  
4. Educate users as to the features that will not be available when in  
“fallback” operating mode.  
Presence  
The Presence feature allows the phone to monitor the status of other  
users/devices and allows other users to monitor it. The status of monitored  
users is displayed visually and is updated in real time in the Buddies display  
screen or, for speed dial entries, on the phone’s idle display. Users can block  
others from monitoring their phones and are notified when a change in  
4 - 37

Administrator’s Guide SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP  
monitored status occurs. Phone status changes are broadcast automatically to  
monitoring phones when the user engages in calls or invokes do-not-disturb.  
The user can also manually specify a state to convey, overriding, and perhaps  
masking, the automatic behavior.  
Notification when a change in monitored status occurs will be available in a  
subsequent release.  
Note

method, Microsoft Live Communications Server 2005 serves as the call server  
and the phones have a single registration. In the second method, the phone has  
a primary registration to call server—that is not Microsoft Live  
Communications Server (LCS)—and a secondary registration to LCS for  
presence purposes.  
To set up a single registration with Microsoft Live Communications Server 2005  
as the call server:  
1. Modify the sip.cfg configuration file as follows:  
a
b
c
Open sip.cfg in an XML editor.  
Locate the feature parameter.  
For the feature.1.name= presenceattribute, set  
feature.1.enabledto 1.  
d
For the feature.2.name = messagingattribute, set  
feature.2.enabledto 1.

Setting Up Audio Features  
Proprietary state-of-the-art digital signal processing (DSP) technology is used  
to provide an excellent audio experience.  
This section provides information for making configuration changes for the  
following audio-related features:  
Low-Delay Audio Packet Transmission  
The phone is designed to minimize latency for audio packet transmission.  
There are no related configuration changes.  
Jitter Buffer and Packet Error Concealment  
The phone employs a high-performance jitter buffer and packet error  
concealment system designed to mitigate packet inter-arrival jitter and  
out-of-order or lost (lost or excessively delayed by the network) packets. The  
4 - 42  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
           
Configuring Your System  
jitter buffer is adaptive and configurable for different network environments.  
When packets are lost, a concealment algorithm minimizes the resulting  
negative audio consequences.  
Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server or locally:  
Central  
Configuration file:  
sip.cfg  
Set the jitter buffer tuning parameters including minimum and  
maximum size and shrink aggression.  
(boot server)  
For more information, refer to Codec Profiles <audioProfile/> on  
page A-36.  
Local  
Web Server  
(if enabled)  
Set the jitter buffer tuning parameters including minimum and  
maximum size and shrink aggression.  
Navigate to http://<phoneIPAddress>/coreConf.htm#au  
Changes are saved to local flash and backed up to <Ethernet  
address>-phone.cfg on the boot server. Changes will permanently  
override global settings unless deleted through the Reset Local  
Config menu selection and the <Ethernet address>-phone.cfg is  
removed from the boot server.  
Voice Activity Detection  
The purpose of voice activity detection (VAD) is to conserve network  
bandwidth by detecting periods of relative “silence” in the transmit data path  
and replacing that silence efficiently with special packets that indicate silence  
is occurring. For those compression algorithms without an inherent VAD  
function, such as G.711, the phone is compatible with the comprehensive  
codec-independent comfort noise transmission algorithm specified in RFC  
3389. This algorithm is derived from G.711 Appendix II, which defines a  
comfort noise (CN) payload format (or bit-stream) for G.711 use in  
packet-based, multimedia communication systems. The phone generates CN  
packets (also known as Silence Insertion Descriptor (SID) frames) and also  
decodes CN packets, efficiently regenerating a facsimile of the background  
noise at the remote end.  
Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server:  
Central  
Configuration file:  
sip.cfg  
Enable or disable VAD and set the detection threshold.  
(boot server)  
For more information, refer to Voice Activity Detection <vad/> on  
page A-47.  
DTMF Tone Generation  
The phone generates dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) tones in response to  
user dialing on the dial pad. These tones are transmitted in the real-time  
transport protocol (RTP) streams of connected calls. The phone can encode the  
4 - 43  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
           
Administrator’s Guide SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP  
DTMF tones using the active voice codec or using RFC 2833 compatible  
encoding. The coding format decision is based on the capabilities of the remote  
end point.  
Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server:  
Central  
Configuration file:  
sip.cfg  
Set the DTMF tone levels, autodialing on and off times, and other  
parameters.  
(boot server)  
For more information, refer to Dual Tone Multi-Frequency  
<DTMF/> on page A-25.  
DTMF Event RTP Payload  
The phone is compatible with RFC 2833 - RTP Payload for DTMF Digits,  
Telephony Tones, and Telephony Signals. RFC 2833 describes a standard  
RTP-compatible technique for conveying DTMF dialing and other telephony  
events over an RTP media stream. The phone generates RFC 2833 (DTMF  
only) events but does not regenerate, nor otherwise use, DTMF events  
received from the remote end of the call.  
Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server:  
Central  
Configuration file:  
sip.cfg  
Enable or disable RFC 2833 support in SDP offers and specify the  
payload value to use in SDP offers.  
(boot server)  
For more information, refer to Dual Tone Multi-Frequency  
<DTMF/> on page A-25.  
Acoustic Echo Cancellation  
The phone employs advanced acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) for hands-free  
operation. Both linear and non-linear techniques are employed to aggressively  
reduce echo yet provide for natural full-duplex communication patterns.  
When using the handset on any SoundPoint IP phones, AEC is not normally  
required. In certain situations, where echo is experienced by the far-end party,  
when the user is on the handset, AEC may be enabled to reduce/avoid this  
echo. To achieve this, make the following changes in the sip.cfg configuration  
file (default settings for these parameters are disabled):  
voice.aec.hs.enable = 1  
voice.aes.hs.enable = 1  
voice.ns.hs.enable = 1  
voice.ns.hs.signalAttn = -6  
voice.ns.hs.silenceAttn = -9  
For more information, refer to Acoustic Echo Cancellation <aec/> on page  
4 - 44  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
         
Configuring Your System  
For the SoundPoint IP 501 and 601, utilizing acoustic echo cancellation will  
introduce a small delay increase into the audio path which might cause a lower  
voice quality.  
AEC on the SoundPoint IP 301 handset is not supported.

Background Noise Suppression  
Background noise suppression (BNS) is designed primarily for hands-free  
operation and reduces background noise to enhance communication in noisy  
environments.  
There are no related configuration changes.  
Comfort Noise Fill  
Comfort noise fill is designed to help provide a consistent noise level to the  
remote user of a hands-free call. Fluctuations in perceived background noise  
levels are an undesirable side effect of the non-linear component of most AEC  
systems. This feature uses noise synthesis techniques to smooth out the noise  
level in the direction toward the remote user, providing a more natural call  
experience.  
There are no related configuration changes.  
Automatic Gain Control  
Automatic Gain Control (AGC) is applicable to hands-free operation and is  
used to boost the transmit gain of the local talker in certain circumstances. This  
increases the effective user-phone radius and helps with the intelligibility of  
soft-talkers.  
There are no related configuration changes.  
IP Type-of-Service  
The “type of service” field in an IP packet header consists of four  
type-of-service (TOS) bits and a 3-bit precedence field. Each TOS bit can be set  
to either 0 or 1. The precedence field can be set to a value from 0 through 7. The  
type of service can be configured specifically for RTP packets and call control  
packets, such as SIP signaling packets.  
Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server or locally:

IEEE 802.1p/Q  
The phone will tag all Ethernet packets it transmits with an 802.1Q VLAN  
header for one of the following reasons:  
When it has a valid VLAN ID set in its network configuration  
When it is instructed to tag packets through Cisco Discovery Protocol  
(CDP) running on a connected Ethernet switch  
When a VLAN ID is obtained from DHCP (refer to DHCP Menu on page  
3-7)  
The 802.1p/Q user_priority field can be set to a value from 0 to 7. The

Error Messages  
There are several different error messages that can be displayed on the phone  
when it is booting. Some of these errors are fatal, meaning that the phone will  
not able to boot until this issue has been resolved, and some are recoverable,  
meaning the phone will continue booting after the error, but the configuration  
of the phone may not be what you were expecting.  
BootROM Error Messages  
Most of these errors are also logged on the phone’s boot log, however, if you  
are having trouble connecting to the boot server, the phone will likely not be  
able to upload the boot log for you to examine.  
Failed to get boot parameters via DHCP  
The phone does not have an IP address and therefore cannot boot. Check that  
all cables are connected, the DHCP server is running and that the phone has  
not been put into a VLAN which is different from the DHCP server. Check the  
DHCP configuration.  
Application <file name> is not compatible with this phone!  
When the bootROM displays an error like “The application is not compatible”,  
it means an application file was downloaded from the boot server, but it  
cannot be installed on this phone. This issue can usually be resolved by finding  
a software image that is compatible with the hardware or the bootROM being  
used and installing this on the boot server. There are various different  
hardware and software dependencies. Refer to the latest Release Notes for  
details on the version you are using.  
Could not contact boot server, using existing configuration  
The phone could not contact the boot server, but the causes may be numerous.  
It may be cabling issue, it may be related to DHCP configuration, or it could  
be a problem with the boot server itself. The phone can recover from this error  
so long as it previously downloaded a valid application bootROM image and  
all of the necessary configuration files.  
Error, application is not present!  
There is no application stored in flash memory and the phone cannot boot. A  
compatible SIP application must be downloaded into the phone using one of  
the supported provisioning protocols. You need to resolve the issue of  
connecting to the boot server. This error is typically a result one of the above  
errors. This error is fatal.

Troubleshooting Your SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP Phones  
Not all configuration files were present on the server  
Similarly, a message about configuration files not being present, means that  
the phone was able to reach the boot server, but that it was not able to find all  
the necessary files. So long as the files exist in flash memory, the phone can  
boot following this error.  
This error does not occur with the current BootROM.  
Note  
Error loading <file name>  
When the required file does not exist in flash memory and cannot be found on  
the boot server, the “Error loading” message will tell you which file could not  
be found. This error only remains on the screen for a few seconds so you need  
to watch closely. The phone reboots.  
This error does not occur with the current BootROM.  
Note  
Application Error Messages  
Config file error. Error is <Hex #>  
If there is an error in the configuration file, you will not be able to reboot the  
phones. You must review the boot server configuration, make the correction,  
and reapply the configuration file by restarting the phones.  
Network link is down  
Since the SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP phones do not have an LED  
indicating network LINK status like many networking devices, if a link failure  
is detected while the phone is running a message saying “Network link is  
down” will be displayed. This message will be shown on the screen whenever  
the phone is not in the menu system and will remain on screen until the link  
problem is resolved.  
Status  
When the phone is unable to register with the call control server, the icon for  
that will be shown  
shown

Blinking Time  
If the phone has not been able to contact the SNTP server or if one has not been  
configured, the date/time display will flash until this is fixed. If an SNTP is not  
available, the data/time display can be turned off so that the flashing display  
is not a distraction.  
Status Menu  
Debugging of single phone may be possible through an examination of the  
phone’s status menu. Press Menu, select Status, and then press the Select soft  
key.  
Under the Platform selection, you can get details on the phone’s serial number  
or MAC address, the current IP address, the bootROM version, the application  
version, the name of the configuration files in use, and the address of the boot  
server.  
In the Network menu, the phone will provide information about TCP/IP  
setting, Ethernet port speed, connectivity status of the PC port, and statistics  
on packets sent and received since last boot. This would also be a good place  
to look and see how long it’s been since the phone rebooted. The Call Statistics  
screen shows packets sent and received on the last call.  
The Lines menu will give you details about the status of each line that has been  
configured on the phone.  
Finally, the Diagnostics menu offers a series of hardware tests to verify correct  
operation of the microphone, speaker, handset, and third party headset, if  
present. It will also let you test that each of the keys on the phone is working,  
and it will display the function that has been assigned to each of the keys in the  
configuration. This is also where you can test the LCD for faulty pixels.  
In addition to the hardware tests, the Diagnostics menu has a series of  
real-time graphs for CPU, network and memory utilization that can be helpful  
in diagnosing performance issues.  
Log Files  
SoundPoint IP and SoundStation IP phones will log various events to files  
stored in the flash file system and will periodically upload these log files to the  
boot server. The files are stored in the phone’s home directory or a  
user-configurable directory.  
There is one log file for the bootROM and one for the application. When a  
phone uploads its log files, they are saved on the boot server with the MAC  
address of the phone prepended to the file name. For example,  
00f4f200360b-boot.log and 00f4f200360b-app.log are the files associated with  
5 - 4

Troubleshooting Your SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP Phones  
MAC address 00f4f200360b. The bootROM log file is uploaded to the boot  
server after every reboot. The application log file is uploaded periodically or  
when the local copy reaches a predetermined size.  
Both log files can be uploaded on demand using a multiple key combination  
described in Multiple Key Combinations on page C-9. The phone uploads four  
files, namely, mac-boot.log, app-boot.log, mac-now-boot.log, and  
mac-now-app.log. The “now_” logs are uploaded manually.  
The amount of logging that the phone performs can be tuned for the  
application to provide more or less detail on specific components of the  
phone’s software. For example, if you are troubleshooting a SIP signaling  
issue, you are not likely interested in DSP events. Logging levels are adjusted  
in the configuration files or via the web interface. You should not modify the  
default logging levels unless directed to by Polycom Technical Support.  
Inappropriate logging levels can cause performance issues on the phone.  
In addition to logging events, the phone can be configured to automatically  
execute command-line instructions at specified intervals that output run-time  
information such as memory utilization, task status, or network buffer  
contents to the log file. These techniques should only be used in consultation  
with Polycom Technical Support.  
Application Logging Options  
Each of the components of the application software is capable of logging  
events of different severity. This allows you to capture lower severity events  
in one part of the application, while still only getting high severity event for  
other components.  
The parameters for log level settings are found in the sip.cfg configuration file.  
They are log.level.change.module_name. Log levels range from 1 to 6 (1 for  
the most detailed logging, 6 for critical errors only).  
When testing is complete, remember to return all logging levels to the default  
value of 4.  
There are other logging parameters that you may wish to modify. Changing  
these parameters does not have the same impact as changing the logging  
levels, but you should still understand how your changes will affect the phone  
and the network.  
log.render.level—Sets the lowest level that can be logged (default=1)  
log.render.file.size—Maximum size before log file is uploaded  
(default=16 kb)  
log.render.file.upload.period—Frequency of log uploads (default is  
172800 seconds = 48 hours)  
log.render.file.upload.append—Controls if log files on the boot  
server are overwritten or appended, not supported by all servers

size of log files on the boot server (default=512 kb)  
log.render.file.upload.append.limitMode—Controls action to take  
when server log reaches max size, actions are stop and delete  
Scheduled Logging  
Scheduled logging is a powerful tool for anyone who is trying to troubleshoot  
an issue with the phone that only occurs after some time in operation.  
The output of these instructions is written to the application log, and can be  
examined later (for trend data).  
The parameters for scheduled logging are found in the sip.cfg configuration  
file. They are log.sched.module_name  
.
The following figure shows an example of a configuration file and the  
resulting log file.  
Manual Log Upload  
If you want to look at the log files without having to wait for the phone to  
upload them (which could take as long as 24 hours or more), initiate an upload  
by pressing correct combination of keys on the phone.

parameters that are configurable when using the centralized provisioning  
installation model.  
This appendix contains information on:  
Master Configuration Files (MAC.cfg or 000000000000.cfg)

administrator. Applying incorrect parameters may render the phone unusable. The  
configuration files which accompany a specific release of the SIP software must be  
used together with that software. Failure to do this may render the phone unusable.  
In the tables in the following sections, “Null” should be interpreted as the empty  
string, that is, attributeName=“” when the file is viewed in an XML editor.

Master Configuration Files  
The master configuration files can be one of:  
Specified master configuration file—The master configuration file can be  
explicitly specified in the boot server address, for example,  
http://usr:pwd@server/dir/example1.cfg. The filename must end with  
.cfg and be at least five characters long. If this file cannot be downloaded,  
the phone will search for the per-phone master configuration file  
(described next).  
Per-phone master configuration file—If per-phone customization is  
required, the file should be named <Ethernet address>.cfg, where  
Ethernet address is the MAC address of the phone in question. For A-F  
hexadecimal digits, use upper or lower case, for example,  
0004f200106c.cfg. The Ethernet address can be viewed using the About  
soft key during the auto-restart countdown of the bootROM or through  
the Menu > Status > Platform > Phone menu in the application. It is also  
printed on a label on the back of the phone. If this file cannot be  
downloaded, the phone will search for the default master configuration  
file (described next).  
Default master configuration file—For systems in which the configuration  
is identical for all phones (no per-phone <Ethernet address>.cfg files), the  
default master configuration file may be used to set the configuration for  
all phones. The file named 000000000000.cfg (<12 zeros>.cfg) is the default  
master configuration file and it is recommended that one be present on the  
boot server. If a phone does not find its own <Ethernet address>.cfg file,  
it will use this one, and establish a baseline configuration. This file is part  
of the standard Polycom distribution of configuration files. It should be  
used as the template for the <Ethernet address>.cfg files.  
The default master configuration file, 000000000000.cfg, is shown below:  
<?xml version=”1.0” standalone=”yes”?>  
<!-- Default Master SIP Configuration File -->  
<!-- edit and rename this file to <Ethernet-address>.cfg for

CONFIG_FILES=”phone1.cfg, sip.cfg” MISC_FILES=””  
LOG FILE DIRECTORY=”” OVERRIDES_DIRECTORY=””  
CONTACTS_DIRECTORY=”” LICENSE_DIRECTORY=””/>  
Master configuration files contain six XML attributes:  
APP_FILE_PATH—The path name of the application executable. It can  
have a maximum length of 255 characters. This can be a URL with its own  
protocol, user name and password, for example  
http://usr:pwd@server/dir/sip.ld.  
A - 2  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
Configuration Files  
CONFIG_FILES—A comma-separated list of configuration files. Each file  
name has a maximum length of 255 characters and the list of file names has  
a maximum length of 2047 characters, including commas and white space.  
Each configuration file can be specified as a URL with its own protocol,  
user name and password, for example  
ftp://usr:pwd@server/dir/phone2034.cfg.  
MISC_FILES—A comma-separated list of other required files. Dictionary  
resource files listed here will be stored in the phone's flash file system. So  
if the phone reboots at a time when the boot server is unavailable, it will  
still be able to load the preferred language.  
On the SoundPoint IP 500, there is insufficient room for a language file. Specifying  
one will cause a reboot loop  
Note  
LOG_FILE_DIRECTORY—An alternative directory to use for log files if  
required. A URL can also be specified. This is blank by default.  
CONTACTS_DIRECTORY—An alternative directory to use for user  
directory files if required. A URL can also be specified. This is blank by  
default.  
OVERRIDES_DIRECTORY—An alternative directory to use for  
configuration overrides files if required. A URL can also be specified. This  
is blank by default.  
LICENSE_DIRECTORY—An alternative directory to use for license files if  
required. A URL can also be specified. This is blank by default.  
The order of the configuration files listed in CONFIG_FILES is significant:  
Warning  
The files are processed in the order listed (left to right).  
The same parameters may be included in more than one file.  
The parameter found first in the list of files will be the one that is effective.  
This provides a convenient means of overriding the behavior of one or more phones  
without changing the baseline configuration files for an entire system.  
IP Phones” whitepaper at www.polycom.com/support/voice/  
If you have a requirement for different application loads on different phones  
on the same boot server, you can create a variable in the master configuration  
file that is replaced by the MAC address of each phone when it reboots. An  
example is shown below:  
<?xml version=”1.0” standalone=”yes”?>  
<!-- Default Master SIP Configuration File -->  
<!-- edit and rename this file to <Ethernet-address>.cfg for  
each phone. -->

If you have a requirement for separate application loads on different phones  
on the same boot server, you can modify the application that is loaded when  
each phone reboots. An example is below:  
<?xml version=”1.0” standalone=”yes”?>  
<!-- Default Master SIP Configuration File -->  
<!-- edit and rename this file to <Ethernet-address>.cfg for

CONFIG_FILES=”phone1.cfg, sip.cfg” MISC_FILES=””  
LOG FILE DIRECTORY=”” OVERRIDES_DIRECTORY=””  
CONTACTS_DIRECTORY=”” LICENSE_DIRECTORY=””/>  
You can also use the substitution strings PHONE_MODEL,  
PHONE_PART_NUMBER, and PHONE_MAC_ADDRESS in the master  
configuration file.  
You can also direct phone upgrades to a software image and configuration  
files based on the phone model number and part number. All XML attributes  
can be modified in this manner. An example is below:  
<?xml version=”1.0” standalone=”yes”?>  
<!-- Default Master SIP Configuration File -->  
<!-- edit and rename this file to <Ethernet-address>.cfg for  
each phone. -->

Digit Map <digitmap/>  
A digit map is defined either by a “string” or by a list of strings. Each string in  
the list is an alternative numbering scheme, specified either as a set of digits or  
timers, or as an expression over which the gateway will attempt to find a  
shortest possible match.  
Digit map extension letter “R” indicates that certain matched strings are  
replaced. The following examples shows the semantics of the syntax:  
R9RRxxxxxxx—Remove 9 at the beginning of the dialed number  
For example, if a customer dials 914539400, the first 9 is removed  
when the call is placed.  
RR604Rxxxxxxx—Prepend 604 to all 7 digit numbers  
For example, if a customer dials 4539400, 604 is added to the front of  
the number, so a call 6044539400 is placed.  
R9R604Rxxxxxxx—Replaces 9 with 604  
R999R911R—Convert 999 to 911  
xxR601R600Rxx—When applied on 1160122 gives 1160022  
xR60xR600Rxxxxxxx—Any 60x will be replaced with 600 in the middle of  
the dialed number that matches  
For example, if a customer dials 16092345678, a call is placed to  
16002345678.  
911xxx.T— A period (".") which matches an arbitrary number, including  
zero, of occurrences of the preceding construct  
For example:  
91112 with waiting time to comply with T is a match  
911123 with waiting time to comply with T is a match  
9111234 with waiting time to comply with T is a match  
and the number can grow indefinitely given that pressing the next  
digit takes less than T.  
The following guidelines should be noted:  
You must use only *, #, or 0-9 between second and third R  
If a digit map does not comply, it is not included in the digit plan as a valid  
one. That is, no matching is done against it.

There is no limitation on the number of R triplet sets in a digit map.  
However, a digit map that contains less than full number of triplet sets (for  
example, a total of 2Rs or 5Rs) is considered an invalid digit map.  
Using T in the left part of RRR syntax is not recommended. For example,  
R0TR322R should be avoided.

Chord-Sets <chord/>  
Chord-sets are the building blocks of sound effects that use synthesized rather  
than sampled audio (most call progress and ringer sound effects). A chord-set  
is a multi-frequency note with an optional on/off cadence. A chord-set can  
contain up to four frequency components generated simultaneously, each  
with its own level.  
There are three blocks of chord sets:  
callProg (used for call progress sound effect patterns)  
ringer  
misc (miscellaneous)  
All three blocks use the same chord set specification format.

L16/16000 is not supported on SoundPoint IP 301phones, and SoundStation IP  
4000 phones.  
Note  
The phone uses built-in wave files for some sound effects. The built-in wave  
files can be replaced with files downloaded from the boot server or from the  
Internet, however, these are stored in volatile memory so the files will need to  
remain accessible should the phone need to be rebooted. Files will be  
truncated to a maximum size of 300 kilobytes.

Ring type <rt/>  
Ring type is used to define a simple class of ring to be applied based on some  
credentials that are usually carried within the network protocol. The ring class  
includes attributes such as call-waiting and ringer index, if appropriate. The  
ring class can use one of four types of ring that are defined as follows:  
ring  
Play a specified ring pattern or call waiting indication.  
visual  
Provide only a visual indication (no audio indication) of incoming call (no  
ringer needs to be specified).  
answer  
Provide auto-answer on incoming call.  
ring-answer  
Provide auto answer on incoming call after a ring period.  
The auto-answer on incoming call is currently only applied if there is no other call in  
progress on the phone at the time.

Volume Persistence <volume/>  
The user’s selection of the receive volume during a call can be remembered  
between calls. This can be configured per termination (handset, headset and

Fonts <font/>  
This section does not apply to the SoundPoint IP 301 phones.  
Note  
These settings control the phone’s ability to dynamically load an external font  
file during boot up. Loaded fonts can either overwrite pre-existing fonts  
embedded within the software (not recommended) or can extend the phone’s  
font support for Unicode ranges not already embedded. The font file must be  
a Microsoft .fnt or .fon file format. (.fon file format is a collection of .fnt fonts  
grouped together within a single file.) The font file name must follow a specific  
pattern as described:  
Font filename:  
<fontName>_<fontHeightInPixels>_<fontRange>.<fontExtension>  
A - 60  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
       
Configuration Files  
<fontName> is a free string of characters that typically carries the meaning  
of the font. Examples are “fontFixedSize” for a fixed-size font, or  
“fontProportionalSize” for a proportional size font.  
<fontHeightInPixels> describes the font height in number of screen pixels.  
<fontRange> describes the Unicode range covered by this font. Since .fnt  
or .fon are 256 characters based blocks, the <fontRange> is Uxx00_UxxFF  
(.fnt file) or Uxx00_UyyFF (.fon file). For more information, refer to  
<fontExtension> describes the file type. Either .fnt for single 256  
characters font or .fon for multiple .fnt files.  
If it is necessary to overwrite an existing font, use these  
<fontName>_<fontHeightInPixels>:  
SoundPoint IP 320, 330, 430, 500 and 501  
“fontProp_10”  
This is the font used widely in the current implementation.  
This is the soft key specific font.  
“fontPropSoftkey_10”  
SoundPoint IP 550, 600, 601, and 650  
“fontProp_19”  
This is the font used widely in the current implementation including for  
soft keys.  
“fontProp_26”  
“fontProp_x”  
This is the font used to display time (but not date).  
This is a small font used for the CPU/Load/Net utilization graphs, this  
is the same as the “fontProp_10” for the SoundPoint IP 500.  
If the <fontName>_<fontHeightInPixels> does not match any of the names  
above, then the downloaded font will be applied against all fonts defined in  
the phone, which means that you may lose the benefit of fonts being calibrated  
differently depending on their usage. For example, the font used to display the  
time on the SoundPoint IP 600 is a large font, larger than the one used to  
display the date, and if you overwrite this default font with a unique font, you  
lose this size aspect. For example:  
to overwrite the font used for SoundPoint IP 500 soft keys for ASCII, the  
name should be fontPropSoftkey_10_U0000_U00FF.fnt .  
to add support for a new font that will be used everywhere and that is not  
currently supported. For example, for the Eastern/Central European  
Czech language, this is Unicode range 100-17F, the name could be  
fontCzechIP500_10_U0100_U01FF.fnt and  
fontCzechIP600_19_U0100_U01FF.fnt .  
When defining a single .fon file, there is a need for a font delimiter, currently  
“Copyright Polycom Canada Ltd” is used as an embedded delimiter, but this  
can be configured using font.delimiter. The font delimiter is important to  
retrieve the different scrambled .fnt blocks. This font delimiter must be placed  
in the “copyright” attribute of the .fnt header. .fon files are useful if you want

Network Address Translation <nat/>  
These parameters define port and IP address changes used in NAT traversal.  
The port changes will change the port used by the phone, while the IP entry  
simply changes the IP advertised in the SIP signaling. This allows the use of  
simple NAT devices that can redirect traffic, but do not allow for port  
mapping. For example, port 5432 on the NAT device can be sent to port 5432  
on an internal device, but not port 1234.

If non-Null, this port will be used by the phone for SIP  
signaling, overriding the value set for  
voIpProt.local.signalPortin sip.cfg.  
nat.mediaPortStart  
1024 to 65535 Null  
If non-Null, this attribute will be used to set the initially

tcpIpApp.port.rtp.mediaPortRangeStartin sip.cfg.  
Refer to RTP <rtp/> on page A-54.  
nat.keepalive.interval  
0 to 3600  
Null  
If non-Null (or 0), the keepalive interval in seconds. This  
parameter is used to set the interval at which phones will  
send a keep-alive packet to the gateway/NAT device to  
keep the communication port open so that NAT can  
continue to function as setup initially.  
The Microsoft Live Communications Server 2005  
keepalive feature will override this interval. If you want to  
deploy phones behind a NAT and connect them to Live  
Communications Server, the keepalive interval received  
from the Live Communications Server must be short  
enough to keep the NAT port open. Once the TCP  
connection is closed, the phones stop sending keep-alive  
packets.

Configuration Files  
Flash Parameter Configuration  
Any field in the bootROM setup menu and the application SIP Configuration  
menu can be set through a configuration file.  
A DHCP server can be configured to point the phones to a boot server that has  
the required configuration files. The new settings will be downloaded by the  
phones and used to configure them. This removes the need for manual  
interaction with phones to configure basic settings. This is especially useful for  
initial installation of multiple phones.  
These device settings are detected when the application starts. If the new  
settings would normally cause a reboot if they were changed in the application  
Network Configuration menu, then they will cause a reboot when the  
application starts.  
The parameters for this feature should be put in separate configuration files to  
simplify maintenance. Do not add them to existing configuration files (such as  
sip.cfg). One new configuration file will be required for parameters that should  
apply to all phones, and individual configuration files will be required for  
phone-specific parameters such as SIP registration information.  
Caution  
The global device.setparameter must be enabled when the initial  
installation is done, and then it should be disabled. This prevents subsequent  
reboots by individual phones triggering a reset of parameters on the phone  
that may have been tweaked since the initial installation.  
This feature is very powerful and should be used with caution. For example, an  
incorrect setting could set the IP Address of multiple phones to the same value.  
Caution  
Note that some parameters may be ignored, for example if DHCP is enabled it will  
still override the value set with device.net.ipAddress  
.
Individual parameters are checked to see whether they are in range, however, the  
interaction between parameters is not checked. If a parameter is out of range, an  
error message will appear in the log file and parameter will not be used.  
Incorrect configuration could cause phones to get into a reboot loop. For example,  
server A has a configuration file that specifies that server B should be used, which  
has a configuration file that specifies that server A should be used.  
Polycom recommends that you test the new configuration files on two phones  
before initializing all phones. This should detect any errors including IP address  
conflicts.

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)  
Hold Implementation  
The phone supports both currently accepted means of signaling hold.  
The first method, no longer recommended due in part to the RTCP problems  
associated with it, is to set the “c” destination addresses for the media streams  
in the SDP to zero, for example, c=0.0.0.0.  
The second, and preferred, method is to signal the media directions with the  
“a” SDP media attributes sendonly, recvonly, inactive, or sendrecv. The hold  
signaling method used by the phone is configurable (refer to SIP <SIP/>on  
page A-10), but both methods are supported when signaled by the remote end  
point.  
Even if the phone is set to use c=0.0.0.0, it will not do so if it gets any sendrecv,  
sendonly, or inactive from the server. These flags will cause it to revert to the other  
hold method.  
Note  
Reliability of Provisional Responses  
The phone fully supports RFC 3262 - Reliability of Provisional Responses.  
Transfer  
The phone supports transfer using the REFER method specified in

Shared Call Appearance Signaling  
A shared line is an address of record managed by a call server. The server  
allows multiple end points to register locations against the address of record.  
The phone supports shared call appearances (SCA) using the  
SUBSCRIBE-NOTIFY method in the “SIP Specific Event Notification”  
framework (RFC 3265). The events used are:  
“call-info” for call appearance state notification  
“line-seize for the phone to ask to seize the line  
Bridged Line Appearance Signaling  
A bridged line is an address of record managed by a server. The server allows  
multiple end points to register locations against the address of record.  
The phone supports bridged line appearances (BLA) using the  
SUBSCRIBE-NOTIFY method in the “SIP Specific Event Notification”  
framework (RFC 3265). The events used are:  
“dialog” for bridged line appearance subscribe and notify

Encrypting Configuration Files  
The phone can recognize encrypted files, which it downloads from the boot  
server and it can encrypt files before uploading them to the boot server. There  
must be an encryption key on the phone to perform these operations.  
Configuration files (excluding the master configuration file), contact  
directories, and configuration override files can be encrypted.  
A separate SDK, with a readme file, is provided to facilitate key generation and  
configuration file encryption and decrypt on a UNIX or Linux server. The  
utility is distributed as source code that runs under the UNIX operating  
system. For more information, contact Polycom Technical Support.  
C - 3

Administrator’s Guide SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP  
A key is generated by the utility and must be downloaded to the phone so that  
it can decrypt the files that were encrypted on the server. The  
device.sec.configEncryption.keyconfiguration file parameter is used to  
set the key on the phone. The utility generates a random key and the  
encryption is Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 128 in Cipher Block  
Chaining (CBC) mode. An example key would look like this:  
Crypt=1;KeyDesc=companyNameKey1;Key=06a9214036b8a15b512e03d534120006;  
If the phone doesn't have a key, it must be downloaded to the phone in plain  
text (a potential security hole if not using HTTPS). If the phone already has a  
key, a new key can be downloaded to the phone encrypted using the old key  
(refer to Changing the Key on the Phone on page C-5). At a later date, new  
phones from the factory will have a key pre-loaded in them. This key will be  
changed at regular intervals to enhance security  
It is recommended that all keys have unique descriptive strings in order to  
allow simple identification of which key was used to encrypt a file. This makes  
boot server management easier.  
After encrypting a configuration file, it is useful to rename the file to avoid  
confusing it with the original version, for example rename sip.cfg to sip.enc.  
However, the directory and override filenames cannot be changed in this  
manner.  
You can check whether an encrypted file is the same as an unencrypted file by:  
1. Run the configFileEncrypt utility on the unencrypted file with the "-d"  
option. This shows the "digest" field.  
2. Look at the encrypted file using WordPad and check the first line that  
shows a "Digest=…." field. If the two fields are the same, then the  
encrypted and unencrypted file are the same.  
If a phone downloads an encrypted file that it cannot decrypt, the action is logged,  
an error message displays, and the phone reboots. The phone will continue to do  
this until the boot server provides an encrypted file that can be read, an  
unencrypted file, or the file is removed from the master configuration file list.  
Note  
Note  
The SoundPoint IP 300 and 500 phones will always fail at decrypting files. These  
phones will recognize that a file is encrypted, but cannot decrypt it and will display  
an error. This information is logged. Encrypted configuration files can only be  
decrypted on the SoundPoint IP 301, 320, 330, 430, 501,550, 600, 601, and 650  
and the SoundStation IP 4000 phones.  
The master configuration file cannot be encrypted on the boot server. This file is  
downloaded by the bootROM that does not recognize encrypted files. For more  
information, refer to Master Configuration Files on page 2-5.

Miscellaneous Administrative Tasks  
The following configuration file changes are required to modify this feature:  
Central  
Configuration File: sip.cfg  
Specify the phone-specific contact directory and the  
phone-specific configuration override file.

For more information, refer to Encryption  
<encryption/> on page A-74.  
Configuration file:  
Change the encryption key.  
<device>.cfg  
For more information, refer to Flash Parameter  
Changing the Key on the Phone  
For security purposes, it may be desirable to change the key on the phones and  
the server from time to time.  
To change a key:  
1. Put the new key into a configuration file that is in the list of files  
downloaded by the phone (specified in 000000000000.cfg or <Ethernet  
address>.cfg).  
Use the device.sec.configEncryption.keyparameter to specify the  
new key.  
2. Manually reboot the phone so that it will download the new key. The  
phone will automatically reboot a second time to use the new key.  
At this point, the phone expects all encrypted configuration files on the  
boot server to use the new key and it will continue to reboot until this is  
the case. The files on the server must be updated to the new key or they  
must be made available in unencrypted format. Updating to the new key  
requires decrypting the file with the old key, then encrypting it with the  
new key.  
Note that configuration files, contact directory files and configuration  
override files may all need to be updated if they were already encrypted.  
In the case of configuration override files, they can be deleted from the  
boot server so that the phone will replace them when it successfully boots.  
Adding a Background Logo  
This section provides instructions on how to add a background logo to all  
SoundPoint IP phones in your organization. You must be running at least  
BootROM 2.x.x and SIP 1.x.x. One bitmap file is required for each model, but  
SoundPoint IP 301 phones do not support bitmap logos.

The SoundStation IP 4000 phone only supports black and white. Any other  
colors will be rendered as either black or white.  
Configuration File Changes  
In the <bitmaps> section of sip.cfg, find the end of each model's bitmap list and  
add your bitmap to the end; do not include the .bmp extension:  
<bitmaps>  
<IP_300 … />  
<IP_330 … bitmap.IP_330.66.name="logo-330" />

BootROM/SIP Application Dependencies  
Not withstanding the hardware backward compatibility mandate, there have  
been times throughout the life of the SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP phones  
where certain dependencies on specific bootROM and application versions  
have been necessitated.  
This table summarizes some the major dependences that you are likely to  
encounter:

Migration Dependencies  
In addition to the bootROM and application dependencies, there are certain  
restrictions with regard to upgrading or downgrading from one bootROM  
release to another bootROM release. These restrictions are typically caused by  
the addition of features that change the way bootROM provisioning is done,  
so the older version become incompatible.  
There is always a way to move forward with bootROM releases, although it  
may be a two or three step procedure sometimes, but there are cases where it  
is impossible to move backward. Make special note of these cases before  
upgrading.  
Note that:  
1.x cannot be upgraded to any 2.x automatically  
2.0 and 2.1 can not upgrade past 2.4  
Only 2.6 can upgrade to 3.0  
3.0 cannot be downgraded  
For example, a two step upgrade would be necessary from bootROM 2.1 to  
bootROM 2.5. A direct upgrade is not supported, but upgrading to bootROM  
2.2 first, then upgrading to 2.5 will work.  
Downgrade restrictions are limited to major releases. Going from 2.x to 1.x and  
from 3.x to 2.x are both impossible in the field.

Note  
Assigning a VLAN ID Using DHCP  
To assign a VLAN ID to a phone using DHCP:  
>> In the DHCP menu of the Main setup menu, set VLAN Discovery to  
“Fixed” or “Custom”.  
When set to “Fixed”, the phone will examine DHCP options 128,144, 157  
and 191 (in that order) for a valid DVD string.  
When set to "Custom", the value set in "VLAN ID Option" will be  
examined for a valid DVD string.  
DVD string in the DHCP option must meet the following conditions to be  
valid:  
Must start with ?VLAN-A=? (case-sensitive)  
Must contain at least one valid ID  
VLAN IDs range from 0 to 4095  
Each VLAN ID must be separated by a ?+? character  
The string must be terminated by a ?;?  
All characters after the ?;? will be ignored  
There must be no white space before the ?;?

Miscellaneous Administrative Tasks  
VLAN IDs may be decimal, hex, or octal  
For example:  
The following DVD strings will result in the phone using VLAN 10:  
VLAN-A=10;  
VLAN-A=0x0a;  
VLAN-A=012;  
If a VLAN tag is assigned by CDP, DHCP VLAN tags will be ignored.  
Note  
The following figure shows the phone’s processing to determine if the VLAN  
ID is valid:

Parsing Vendor ID Information  
After the phone boot, it sends a DHCP Discover packet to the DHCP server.  
This is found in the Bootstrap Protocol/option "Vendor Class Identifier"  
section of the packet and includes the phone’s part number and the bootROM  
version. The format of this option's data is not specified in RFC 2132, but is left  
to each vendor to define its own format. To be useful, every vendor's format  
must be distinguishable from every other vendor's format. To make our  
format uniquely identifiable, the format follows RFC 3925, which uses the  
IANA Private Enterprise number to determine which vendor's format should  
be used to decode the remaining data. The private enterprise number assigned  
to Polycom is 13885 (0x0000363D).  
This vendor ID information is not a character string, but an array of binary  
data. The steps for parsing are as follows:  
1. Check for the Polycom signature at the start of the option:  
4 octet: 00 00 36 3d  
2. Get the length of the entire list of sub-options:  
1 octet  
3. Read the field code and length of the first sub-option, 1+1 octets  
4. If this is a field you want to parse, save the data.  
5. Skip to the start of the next sub-option.  
6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 until you have all the data or you encounter the  
End-of-Suboptions code (0xFF).  
For example, the following is a sample decode of a packet from an IP601:  
3c 74  
- Option 60, length of Option data (part of the DHCP spec.)  
00 00 36 3d  
- Polycom signature (always 4 octects)  
6f  
- Length of Polycom data  
01 07 50 6f 6c 79 63 6f 6d  
- sub-option 1 (company), length, "Polycom"  
02 15 53 6f 75 6e 64 50 6f 69 6e 74 49 50 2d 53 50 49 50 5f 36 30 31  
- sub-option 2 (part), length, "SoundPointIP-SPIP_601"  
03 10 32 33 34 35 2d 31 31 36 30 35 2d 30 30 31 2c 32  
- sub-option 3 (part number), length, "2345-11605-001,2"  
04 1c 53 49 50 2f 54 69 70 2e 58 58 58 58 2f 30 38 2d 4a 75 6e 2d 30 37  
20 31 30 3a 34 34  
- sub-option 4 (Application version), length, "SIP/Tip.XXXX/08-Jun-07

Miscellaneous Administrative Tasks  
- end of sub-options  
For the BootROM, sub-option 4 and sub-option 5 will contain the same string.  
The string is formatted as follows:  
<apptype>/<buildid>/<date+time>  
where:  
<apptype> can be 'BR' (BootROM) or 'SIP' (SIP Application)
