Setting Up the Polycom VVX 1500 C
Phone
The Polycom VVX 1500 C phone is designed to be used like a regular phone
on a public switched telephone network (PSTN). It is a business media phone
that combines advanced business telephony, one-touch video, real-time
presence, and integrated business applications into one seamless, lifelike
communications experience.
The phone provides a powerful, yet flexible IP communications solution,
delivering excellent video and voice quality. The high-resolution color graphic
display supplies content for call information, multiple languages, directory
access, and system status. The phone supports advanced functionality,
including multiple call and flexible line appearances, HTTPS secure
provisioning, custom ring tones, and local audio and video conferencing.
For the package parts list and instructions on how to assemble the phone, refer
to the Polycom VVX 1500 Quick Start Guide, which is in the phone package.
This chapter provides basic instructions for setting up the Polycom VVX 1500
C phones when managed by Cisco Unified Communications Manager:
• First you must change the network information that is currently on the
phone. Refer to Changing the Network Configuration on page 3-2.
• Upgrade the phone software before changing the configuration files and
deploying the phones.
Out of the box, the Polycom VVX 1500 C phone is running bootROM 4.2.1

version running on the phone, press the Menu key, select Settings >
Status > Platform > Phone, and then scroll down to BootROM. To
determine the SIP application version running on the phone, press the
Menu key, and then select Settings > Status > Platform > Application >
