Polycom Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals

You could edit the config file in notepad or try clearing all your browser cache and history. if all this fails check to see that the config fi,le has read write permisions under its directory.

sounds like your belkin router is not setup as a DHCP server or the DHCP is disabled. The DHCP in the belkin assigns addresses to the internal network, the error "waiting for network to initialize" means that the phone is waiting for an IP address, to which its not getting. When you connect directly to your modem you get an IP from your Internet service provider. I'll bet your internal network is setup using "static" ip addresses, if thats the case you will need to surf into the phones web console and set a static IP address. Or the opposite, enable DHCP in the belkin. hope that clarifies things a little.

I would buy your Polycom system from you and sell you a Tandberg system. I have factory and deal refurbished units and it would not cost much to upgrade.

Let us know.

The phone can only be opened by removing the front lense. Under the lense you will find 6 screws - but removing the lense you awill not be able to mount it again. You need a new lense afterwards.

The computer connectors are so designed that only the correct can be connected to the correct socket. So if it fits it is meant for that socket.
At boot up please press F2 and enter the BIOS. Here look for Boot up sequence. Your PC seems to the set to boot up from a LAN server. Change it to HDD.

You cannot go straight from 7.2 to 7.5.4 you must at least do one in the "Middle" first, you can go to 7.4.0 ? and then to 7.5.*, as there was an update later on that depended on another update prior, I think that those upgrade paths should straddle the upgrade paths.
Also remember to install as administrator too.
Usually when they wouldn't connect it was because they, it, were faulty, or the driver was.

Can you tell me the model# of the phone? If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/elixirjose_00375ea24bd8141b

Try to plug a cheap analog phone into the same line instead of the voicestation to verify that it is indeed analog. It sounds as if you connected the phone to a specialty PBX line or similar. There are analog PBX that only work with their own phones. You can also try to connect the phone at home and see if it works on your analog line at home.

Here you are!

Hope it helps. Give me thumbs!

It would depend on if this is going through the phone system, or just a phone line all by itself.

If on the phone system, there should be a conference button, that is like a "flash" button on your home phone.....

Press the speaker or ON button, then dial and wait for an answer.

If you're using additional mics, you might have a bad one. If not, you may need a new power supply (plug-in transformer).

try to turn off the Polycom device. When you turn it back on, press Setup. from the options, select server then click edit. Then select the item Trivial FTP (that setup depends on your ISP), and type the IP address assigned to your network (example 192.168.90.90) then hit OK. click exit several times then press Save & reboot. If it did not work, let us know...

no you don't.

Try reseting the camera, power it down, wait 30 seconds then power it back up again.

possibilities could include sounds like the phone is not registered with the server correctly, your server is not setup to use the proper audio coedec's to pass the call through, so it fails sending the caller direct to voicemail. check the registration port on both ends as well. If everything above appears correct, check to see that the phone is not set to DND at the phone server end, this can be set independent from the phones settings which may appear normal. i hope that helps you.
