In the examples in this section, we use the following parameters:

10.40.0.89 – The phone’s IP address

206.40.10.25 – The MAXCS system’s IP address

While performing these steps, substitute the correct IP addresses for your system.
Note: The screen shots in this section may look different from your web utility interface. In addition, in a few

cases a field or option may be found on a different menu that noted here. This is because the web

configuration tool varies slightly from one model to another.

1.

On the Polycom IP phone, find the phone’s IP address. To do this, pressing Menu on the phone and

navigate to Status > Network > TCP/IP Parameters. (In this example, we use 10.40.0.89 as the phone’s IP

address.)

2.

Open a web browser and navigate to http://[phone IP address] to launch the Polycom Web Configuration

Utility. In our example, this is

http://10.40.0.89

.

3.

Enter the default password 456. (Refresh the browser if necessary.) The configuration tool will open.

4.

Confirm that the phone has the correct firmware; select Utilities > Software Upgrade and check the

version number (the section

Supported Polycom IP Phones

on page 3 lists the correct firmware for each

model).

Note: For SoundPoint phones, the BootROM must be version 5.x.x in order to perform the software

upgrade directly from the web configuration tool.


If the phone does not have the correct firmware, select Utilities > Software Upgrade, click Check for

Updates, and choose the appropriate firmware from the list. The phone will reboot at the end of the

upgrade process. You can continue with the next step after the phone has rebooted.
