Hello,

For the longest time, I've been configuring all of my Polycom phones individually through its web interface. I really need to move to a central provisioning server model so that each phone receives it configuration files upon booting.

How do I download a phone's current configuration files? I need to use those as initial templates for CFG files on the provisioning server. I'm concerned that if I build the CFG files for each phone based on settings I know each phone SHOULD have, I may mis-configure the phones already out there when they are rebooted and download their configurations for the first time.

I'm working with a range of Polycoms: IP SoundPoint 550,560, 600, 601, etc.

Thanks,

Jacob

You cant unless you are running 3.3.0 or higher. However if you did all the config via the web interface the TFTP/FTP/HTTP server in the Admin Menu of the phone should have a MAC_Address-phone.cfg file uploaded with all the changes. If you do not have a server set up, set one up and make a single change via the web and the entire file will be uploaded.

Is it possible to pull a revision off of a phone?

Hi, I am really new to the pbx world, and I am curious if it is possible to pull a revision off of a phone, and load it onto other phones with an older configuration? If not, where can I acquire newer hardware revisions, and how do I load them into trixbox? I am currently loading phones via the tftp function.

Thanks in advance

Will
