Create a phone configuration file.

Warning
As of UC software 3.3.0, you only need to configure the parameters that do not
match their “built-in” defaults.
Certain configuration settings in Polycom UC Software 3.3.0 release are not
backward compatible to the previous configuration files (sip.cfg and phone1.cfg).
Review all configuration files used to configure the VVX 1500 D phones for previous
software releases.

Note
Use an XML editor to create/edit the configuration files. In this way, all configuration
files that you create will be valid XML files.
If the configuration files are not valid, they will not load on the phone. An error
message will be logged to the provisioning server.
Note
Obtain the phone’s MAC address from the barcoded label on underside of phone or
on the outside of the shipping box.
