----------------STUN Parameters
Prior to UC Software 6.1.0 STUN implementation did not support the functionality of RFC 3581. This meant during a port change Firewall/NAT STUN connection is lost. This resulted in phones being unable to make or receive calls.
UC 6.1.0 added support for Rport & RFC 3581.
Polycom UC software supports Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN). This section lists
parameters that configure STUN.
nat.refresh.interval
Set the time interval for the phone to send STUN binding indications to keep the NAT port open
and the phone reachable.
nat.device.pollInterval
Set the time interval for the phone to send STUN binding request to the STUN server to detect
whether NAT device is rebooted.
Note: Poly recommends not to set the value as 0 second

----------------Software Upgrade Resiliency
Polycom UC software supports software upgrade resiliency to configure the number of attempts a VVX phone uses to update the UC software.
The phone may fail to upgrade the UC software due to the following scenarios:
If the phone fails to upgrade to the new UC software version after the defined prescribed number of
attempts, the VVX phone retains the existing UC software version. By default, this feature is disabled.
Software Upgrade Resiliency Parameter
Use the following parameter to configure the number of attempts for a software upgrade.
