    ### Scope

    The following steps will allow you to manually provision a Polycom desk phone via Phone UI. For TLS Provisioning visit HTTP Provisioning over TLS

    Requirements

    • Access to the phone or web GUI
    • It is highly recommended to Factory Reset the handset before provisioning
    • Phone's MAC address must have already been entered in the Manage Portal
    • Global Username and Password provided by support.

    NOTE: On older firmware versions of Polycom phones, you must complete the changes via the handset

    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.
