[FAQ] Can I register my Poly Phone with a “XYZ” SIP Server?

Poly IP Phone Platform Compatibility:

 

In general Poly IP Phones have been interoperability tested with several of our Partners => here <=

 

Poly cannot provide support for any Platforms that have not been tested but this does not exclude basic call features.

 

Simple SIP Setup Example:

 

A simple SIP registration only needs the following settings:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<!-- Application SIP Mink 4.0.0.26884 09-Sep-11 12:32 -->
<!-- Created 19-09-2011 10:50 -->
<CONFIG>
	<OVERRIDES
		reg.1.address="3011"
		reg.1.auth.password="3011"
		reg.1.auth.userId="3011"
		reg.1.label="3011"
		reg.1.server.1.address="asterisk16.t2voice.tech-support.lab"
		/>
</CONFIG>

 

These are on a per Phone basis and each registration / phone would need an individual file and could be loaded within the 00000000000.cfg via the substitution method.

 

A simple Excel Macro XML file for mass deploying Poly phones can be found => here <= 

 

These settings can also be made via the Web Interface or the phone GUI.

 

  • Address = the Extension/DDI/Username assigned to the Phone’s Account on the SIP Switch
  • Auth User ID = the Extension/DDI/Username assigned to the Phone’s Account on the SIP Switch
  • Auth Password = the Password assigned to the Phone’s Account on the SIP Switch
  • Label = can be used to show the Phones DDI or Name when idle

  • Server 1 Address = Hostname/FQDN or IP Address of the SIP Server (In the below example 10.252.75.119)

 

Example pre UCS 4.0.0 (UCS 3.3.x or SIP 3.2.x or earlier)

Additional Lines:

 

The same way the Line 1 was added additional Lines or SIP providers with their Individual lines can be added:

	<OVERRIDES
		reg.1.address="3011"
		reg.1.auth.password="3011"
		reg.1.auth.userId="3011"
		reg.1.label="3011"
		reg.1.server.1.address="asterisk16.t2voice.tech-support.lab"
		reg.2.address="3030"
		reg.2.auth.password="3030"
		reg.2.auth.userId="3030"
		reg.2.label="3030"
		reg.2.server.1.address="server.sbaierhome.lab"
		/>
</CONFIG>

Re: [FAQ] Can I register my Polycom Phone with a “XYZ” SIP Server?

Traditionally ObiHai Phones or Poly Phones running ObiEdition software instead of UC Software are usually automatically provisioned via the ObiTalk / PDMS-SP platform.

 

Option 1 manually registering a SIP Provider:

 

Registering an Obi Edition Phone to a SIP server:

 

  • Browse to the IP Adress of the Obi Edition Phone and enter the >admin password<
  • Select Service Providers > And select the Profile you want to use
  • Select General and add a Name

    obiSIP_Register_01.jpg

  • Select SIP and enter the Registrar Server and any required proxy's

    obiSIP_Register_02.jpg
  • Select Voice Services and chose the matching ITSP Profile previously added and set Enable it and set RegisterEnable.

    obiSIP_Register_03.jpg
    and add AuthUserName and AuthPassword.
    obiSIP_Register_04.jpg.png

  • Depending on if this is an ObiEdition VVX x50 or an Edge B phone in addition the Line key to be used for this new Registration needs to be specified
    IP Phone > Left or Right Line Key:

Option 2 using a file to registering a SIP Provider:

 

Either using option 66 as shown >here< can be used to partially or via the Web interface System Management > Device Update > Restore Configuration can be used to completely set up an ObiHai software running phone.

 

  • Use the attached VVXD230.XML (unzip) template to start with the basic configuration.

  • Language Change:
      <Object>
        <Name>UserPref.</Name>
        <ParameterValueStruct>
          <Name>Language</Name>
          <Value X_UseDefault="Yes"/>​
    into
        <Name>UserPref.</Name>
        <ParameterValueStruct>
          <Name>Language</Name>
          <Value>English-UK</Value>​

     

  • Time and Date format (the correct format is already in the below example rather than repeating to change  <Value X_UseDefault="Yes"/>
        <ParameterValueStruct>
          <Name>TimeFormat</Name>
          <Value>13:35</Value>
        </ParameterValueStruct>
        <ParameterValueStruct>
          <Name>DateFormat</Name>
          <Value>31/1/2014</Value>
        </ParameterValueStruct>​

    The TimeFormat and DateFormat is in European format

  • Sip Account:
        <Name>VoiceService.1.VoiceProfile.1.Line.1.SIP.</Name>
        <ParameterValueStruct>
          <Name>AuthUserName</Name>
          <Value>3009</Value>
        </ParameterValueStruct>
    	<ParameterValueStruct>
          <Name>AuthPassword</Name>
          <Value>3009</Value>
        </ParameterValueStruct>
        <ParameterValueStruct>
          <Name>DTLSPeerCertAltName</Name>
          <Value X_UseDefault="Yes"/>
        </ParameterValueStruct>
        <ParameterValueStruct>
          <Name>URI</Name>
          <Value>3009</Value>
        </ParameterValueStruct>​

     

  • Sip Server:
        <Name>VoiceService.1.VoiceProfile.1.SIP.</Name>
        <ParameterValueStruct>
          <Name>ProxyServer</Name>
          <Value>10.252.122.122</Value>
        </ParameterValueStruct>
        <ParameterValueStruct>
          <Name>ProxyServerPort</Name>
          <Value>5060</Value>
        </ParameterValueStruct>
        <ParameterValueStruct>
          <Name>ProxyServerTransport</Name>
          <Value>UDP</Value>
        </ParameterValueStruct>
        <ParameterValueStruct>
          <Name>RegistrarServer</Name>
          <Value>10.252.122.122</Value>
        </ParameterValueStruct>​

     

  • Assign Line one with Service provider 1 to top left key:
        <Name>VoiceService.1.Phone.LeftLineKey.1.</Name>
        <ParameterValueStruct>
          <Name>Function</Name>
          <Value>Call Appearance</Value>
        </ParameterValueStruct>
        <ParameterValueStruct>
          <Name>Service</Name>
          <Value>SP1</Value>
        </ParameterValueStruct>​

     

  • Using the Web Interface via System Management > Device Update > Restore Configuration will enable for example a 2nd Line to be added via importing the unzipped version >here<
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!-- OBi Configuration File (11:25:20     04/24/2020, Friday)-->

      <Object>
        <Name>VoiceService.1.VoiceProfile.1.Line.2.SIP.</Name>

          <Value>3008</Value>
        </ParameterValueStruct>
    	<ParameterValueStruct>
          <Name>AuthPassword</Name>
          <Value>3008</Value>
        </ParameterValueStruct>
    	</Object>
    	<Object>
    	<Name>VoiceService.1.Phone.LeftLineKey.2.</Name>
        <ParameterValueStruct>
          <Name>Function</Name>
          <Value>Call Appearance</Value>

        <ParameterValueStruct>
          <Name>Service</Name>
          <Value>SP2</Value>
        </ParameterValueStruct>
      </Object>
    </ParameterList>

     

  • Using the Web Interface via System Management > Device Update > Restore Configuration will enable for example a 2nd Line with a different Server Transport (TCP) to be added via importing the unzipped version >here<

Poly VVX D230 specific Tips:

 

In order to find the IP either:

 

  • Menu -> Settings -> Basestation Info
    or
  • Dial *** and select option 1

 

Assign incoming calls to a DECT Handset to ring on: 

 

  • Set Inbound Call Route to include DECT Handset you want to ring on incoming call from the respective Voice Service
  • DT1 stands for DECT Telephone 1,
    DT2 stands for DECT Telephone 2 and etc. The options are DT1 to DT10
  • For example, if you want DECT Handset 1, 2 and 3 to ring on an incoming call to SP1 Service below.
    Your Inbound Call Route should look like this: dt1,dt2,dt3
  • An advanced rule such as only forwarding call to specific DECT Handset based on caller ID is available too. Refer to Admin guide for details
    D230Obi_01.png

Setting up which line is available on which Handset for outbound calls:

 

  • Set OutboundServices under DECT Wireless -> Handset x
  • sp1 stands for Service Provider 1,
    sp2 for Service Provider 2,
    pp stands for peer to peer (aka Obitalk)
  • For example, if I want Handset 1 to have the option to call using SP2, SP5 and SP6 Line and no OBitalk. Your Outbound services should only be: sp2,sp5,sp6
  • Primary Line is the main line that will show on the DECT phone main screen.

Rove B2 or B4 Line mapping

 

Use the Service Provider / Voice Services section to manually assign the SIP accounts (or use the configuration way explained above)

 

DECT Wireless > Handset Summary > Extension Mapping
