This chapter describes how to integrate the SoundPoint IP ® 7000 conference
phone with a Polycom ® HDX system in an unsupported VoIP environment. It
also describes how to upgrade the phone’s software when it is connected to a
Polycom HDX system. The phone must be running SIP application 3.1.1
(phone software) or later.
The SoundPoint IP 7000 conference phone is compatible with the following
Polycom HDX systems running 2.5 or later:
• Polycom HDX 4000™ series
• Polycom HDX 7000™ series
• Polycom HDX 8000™ HD
• Polycom HDX 9000™ series
The topics in this chapter include:
• Before You Begin on page 2
• Connecting the Phone to the Network on page 4
Polycom strongly recommends that you connect the SoundPoint IP 7000 to the
LAN using the included network cable and to the Polycom HDX system using an
Polycom HDX Microphone Cable. A LAN connection enables access to a
provisioning server as well as a time server.
A provisioning server facilitates software upgrades, configuration management, and
diagnostic logging, which is helpful if troubleshooting is required.
Access to a time server enables display of the current date and time on the phone's
display.

Setting Up a Provisioning Server on page 13 .
