If you choose to manage a group of phones through a Polycom®
Converged Management Application™ (CMA™) system, you need to:
a

provisioning by a Polycom CMA system.
The VVX 1500 D phone must be running UC software 3.3.0 or later. If

b
Ensure that the Polycom CMA system is running version 5.0 .
For more information on upgrading the Polycom CMA system, refer

For installation and maintenance of the Polycom VVX 1500 D phone, the use of a
provisioning server is strongly recommended. This allows for flexibility in installing,
upgrading, maintaining, and configuring the phone. Configuration, log, language,
and directory files are normally located on this server. Allowing the phone write
access to the server is encouraged.
The phone is designed such that, if it cannot locate a provisioning server when it
boots up, it will operate with internally saved parameters. This is useful for
occasions when the provisioning server is not available, but is not intended to be
used for long-term operation of the phones.
