Polycom Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals

This will depend upon whether your Polycom is connected to a PBX system or using a public landline. If using the Polycom through a PBX you may need to consult the system admin as you will often need to enter a 'conference code' before you dial the second party ie.

1. Dial the first party and ask them to hold
2. Press the Flash key
3. Dial the conference code for your system ie. #46
4. Dial the next party and ask them to hold
5. Press the Flash key twice and all parties are joined.

If you are using a public landline (ie. home phone line) then you will be limited to the conference services that your phone company provide and these are usually also accessed via a code. There are also conferencing services that for a fee you can dial into and follow the prompts to austomatically arrange your conference call.

dial area code first then try to call some one.

This is usually a problem with the phone's configuration. Is this phone getting it's configuration from a network server or pbx? If so, find the configuration file for your specific extension and find this location. This example is for a phone whose extension is 2704


msg.mwi.2.subscribe=""
msg.mwi.2.callBackMode="registration" msg.mwi.2.callBack="" msg.mwi.3.subscribe="" msg.mwi.3.callBackMode="registration" msg.mwi.3.callBack="" msg.mwi.4.subscribe="" msg.mwi.4.callBackMode="registration" msg.mwi.4.callBack="" msg.mwi.5.subscribe="" msg.mwi.5.callBackMode="registration" msg.mwi.5.callBack="" msg.mwi.6.subscribe="" msg.mwi.6.callBackMode="registration" msg.mwi.6.callBack=""/>


If you are not using a network-based configuration, the phone's settings can be changed via the phone's internal web server. Open a web browser window and enter the phones' IP address, i.e. http://192.168.1.109. The default user is 'Polycom' and the pass '456'. Go to the links at the top for each line you are using and scroll to the bottom, you will see the voicemail settings there. Use the above info to fill in the correct info, save the settings and the phone will reboot.

1st. Get the IP address of the phone. and type that into browser.
*- default user: Polycom / password: 456

*- Under menu SIP, type in your voip provider
*-Under menu LINES type in user info and "secret" should be your password.

Make sure your ports are open (SIP is usually 5060) you can change it in that same config screen.

In the NBX 100. Creat a group other then default. Then assing ip300 to the new group.

it might be power supply they are common to go bad

try different one and see if that helps

I'm assuming you already have a voip account set up. sounds like you've not set the dtmf tones to the correct setting, usually set to rfc2833 and/or sip info - set in audio to no.

sounds like the 'brick' went bad

this is the power supply try replacing it

also and possibly more important did you reprogram phone and phone number when you moved it??

make sure you reset all settings and start new

This means that your phone will not dial a url number, i.e. sip://[email protected]. This is generally a network or configuration error, and I would specifically make sure the phone either has static DNS entries entered or is receiving DNS entries via DHCP.

you cant answer numerous calls on this system - you will need to set up a dial in number on a phone bridge provider and have all participants call into that number and then all of you will be in same conference call. this is best quality and the most managable way to do this. i am sure your phone provider can help you set this up. R if i remember correctly is for redial

This sounds like an RTP stream issue. While SIP runs on port 5060 by default, the actual audio is run on much higher ports, 10000 and up. If your pbx system is not on a public address and you are forwarding traffic to your pbx via a router, check the RTP port range in your pbx and make sure you are forwarding those ports correctly. By putting the call on hold, you stop sending out audio traffic restart sending audio when you pick the call back up. By forwarding the entire RTP range to your pbx, this should fix your issue.

1) try setting unit to auto answer and it will automatically pick up incoming call

2) far end will only control a Polycom camera and it will not work through a bridged call - it must be point to point

hope this helps you

good luck!!

what you need to do, is update the firmware of the device.

This is a good guide:

yes do a full reset and reprogram for new phone number and all settings when you move phones

This occurs when the phone is set up to load it's configuration file from a ftp or tftp server and it cannot find the file or server location. If the phone is supposed to do this, please check that the ftp or tftp service is running on the specified server. The server name or ip is specified in the setup of the phone, available when the phone is first booting up. The default username is 'Polycom' and password is '456'. If you DO NOT want your phone to get it's configuration from a network server, enter the setup area and remove the server name or IP address from the appropriate section.

turn off the video. Then grab and hold the camera, and turn it on. release camera after few seconds. For me it works :)
