Deploying Phones From the Provisioning Server
You will need to create two configuration files for each
phone—phone1[MACAddress].cfg and [MACAddress].cfg—and one
configuration file for all phones in your installation—sip[XXXX].cfg.
For more information on why to create another configuration file, refer to the
“Configuration File Management on Polycom VVX 1500 C Phones” white

Deploy Polycom VVX 1500 C phones by:
1. Creating a Per-Phone Configuration File
2. Creating an Application Configuration File
3. Creating a Master Configuration File
4. Downloading the New Configuration
Creating a Per-Phone Configuration File
To create a per-phone configuration file:
1. Create a per-phone configuration file by using the phone1.cfg file from
the distribution as templates.
For example, create phone1_0004f2be80a4.cfg
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.
