Polycom SIP 3.0.2 IP Phone User Manual


 
Setting up Your System
3 - 19
The phones can be configured to periodically poll the boot server to check for
changed configuration files or application executable. If a change is detected,
the phone will reboot to download the change. Refer to Provisioning <prov/>
on page A-81.
Supporting SoundPoint IP 300 and 500 Phones
With enhancements in BootROM 4.0.0 and SIP 2.1.2, you can modify the
000000000000.cfg or <Ethernet address>.cfg configuration file to direct
phones to load the software image and configuration files based on the phone
model number. Refer to Master Configuration Files on page A-2.
The SIP 2.2.0 or later software distributions contain only the new distribution
files for the new release. You must rename the sip.ld, sip.cfg, and phone1.cfg
from a previous 2.1.2 distribution that is compatible with SoundPoint IP 300
and 500 phones.
The following procedure must be used for upgrading to SIP 2.2.0 or later for
installations that have SoundPoint IP 300 and 500 phones deployed. It is also
recommended that this same approach be followed even if SoundPoint IP 300
and 500 phones are not part of the deployment as it will simplify management
of phone systems with future software releases.
To upgrade your SIP application:
1. Do one of the following steps:
a Place the bootrom.ld file corresponding to BootROM revision 4.0.0 (or
later) onto the boot server.
b Ensure that all phones are running BootROM 4.0.0 or later code.
2. Copy sip.ld, sip.cfg and phone1.cfg from the SIP2.2.0 or later release
distribution onto the boot server.
These are the relevant files for all phones except the SoundPoint IP 300 and
500 phones.
3. Rename sip.ld, sip.cfg, and phone1.cfg from the previous distribution to
sip_212.ld, sip_212.cfg, and phone1_212.cfg respectively on the boot
server.
These are the relevant files for supporting the SoundPoint IP 300 and 500
phones.
4. Modify the 000000000000.cfg file, if required, to match your configuration
file structure.
For example:
<APPLICATION
APP_FILE_PATH="sip.ld"
APP_FILE_PATH_SPIP500="sip_212.ld"
APP_FILE_PATH_SPIP300="sip_212.ld"
