Setting up Your System
Your SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP SIP phone is designed to be used like a
regular phone on a public switched telephone network (PSTN).
This chapter provides basic instructions for setting up your SoundPoint IP /
SoundStation IP phones. This chapter contains information on:
•
•
•
Deploying Phones From the Boot Server
•
Because of the large number of optional installations and configurations that
are available, this chapter focuses on one particular way that the SIP
application and the required external systems might initially be installed and
configured in your network.

For installation and maintenance of Polycom SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP
phones, the use of a boot server is strongly recommended. This allows for flexibility
in installing, upgrading, maintaining, and configuring the phone. Configuration, log,
and directory files are normally located on this server. Allowing the phone write
access to the server is encouraged.
The phone is designed such that, if it cannot locate a boot server when it boots up,
it will operate with internally saved parameters. This is useful for occasions when
the boot server is not available, but is not intended to be used for long-term
operation of the phones.
