Hi All
I am trying to update some VVX firmware via a provisioning firmware. I am testing this out on a Polycom VVX 310 and also Polycom VVX 600.
I have setup an FTP server on my laptop and then set the provisioning server on the phone via the provisioning server options.
I can see the phone connect up via FTP and the phone is creating log files on the FTP server, therefore i know that side of things is working as expected.
One issue i am having is updating the firmware automatically.
For example my VVX 301 is on 5.7.1.3782. I have downloaded the split files for 5.8.1.6389. And dropped the files into the root of the FTP server.
From previous experience, i was expecting to reboot the phone and for the phone to see that there was new firmware on the FTP server and to then update itself. However this hasnt happened.
Attached is the 000000000.cfg file that i am currently using.
Any idea why the phones are talking to the FTP server but not pulling down the firmware files?
Thanks,
Robert

Hello @RobT,
Your config shows you are using:
device.prov.upgradeServer="http://downloads.polycom.com/voice/software/UC_Software_5_7_1D_release_sig_split/" device.prov.serverName.set="1"
If you use the Software Update Feature from the Polycom hosted server the phone will never look on your provisioning server for software. It will just look for configuration changes etc.
Add something like this in your configuration to clear this value:
<test device.set="1" device.prov.upgradeServer.set="1" device.prov.upgradeServer="" />

----------------Hello @RobT,
welcome back to the Polycom Community.
Some or a couple of your old post(s) or reply(s) to them => here <= are still open / pending as you have not marked these as "Accept as a solution" or at least provided some form of feedback or answer.
If they are in this state nobody finding them via a community search will know if an answer or advice provided was useful and has maybe helped you.
Could you therefore kindly go over them and mark or answer as appropriate ?
If they are marked as "Accept as a solution" other users can find these easier and it helps them to utilise the community more efficiently. Please do not simply mark them without any type of feedback.
For your new issu both the community's Must Read First and the community's FAQ reference the basic minimum information a new or follow up post should contain.
