About Updating Firmware

Page 8 describes how to upgrade the firmware via the web configuration tool.

Refer to

http://downloads.polycom.com/voice/voip/sip_sw_releases_matrix.html

for details about updating the

firmware and BootROM. Use the combined version instead of the split version.
Use an isolated network to update the Polycom application and BootROM to the correct version before you put

the Polycom phone into a test lab or production environment.
We recommended that you NOT mix the FTP server for Polycom configuration and the FTP server for Polycom

firmware upgrade in the same network. If you mix them, it may cause issues. On an isolated network that is for

upgrading the Polycom IP phones only firmware and/or BootROM only, you can use DHCP OPTIONS 66, 160 or 120

in order to shorten the update time.
