Troubleshooting
If your phone does not provision with the v2 address try using 129.213.10.212/cfg. If you server type is left to ftp, then ensure that server address is appended with http://ndp.ucaasnetwork.com/cfg unless you are using HTTP over TLS.
In some instances, we have seen Polycom's not get past a Windows DNS server if the Windows DNS server is the Phone's primary DNS. In these instances, we recommend setting the phone onto a Phone VLAN with the DNS of Primary: 8.8.8.8 and Secondary: 8.8.4.4.
