UC documentation question regarding reg.1.auth.password

[neveunc]

On page 87 of the most recent UC documentation is states:

You can change the default password using any of the following methods:
• The popup prompt when the phone first registers
• Phone menu
• Web Configuration Utility
• Use the parameter reg.1.auth.password in the template configuration file

It this last bullet point correct? I thought reg.1.auth.password  was the password used to authenticate with the SIP and not the phones local admin password.

Hello @neveunc,

welcome back to the Polycom Community.
From the FAQ:

Resolution: Please check => here <=

and

Oct 7, 2011 Question: Can I register or is my Polycom Phone compatible with a “XYZ” SIP Server?

Resolution: Please check => here <=

The two FAQ posts outline the correct settings for the password for the phone and the password for the SIP account.

Since the first three items in the bulleted list refer to the phone's administrator password and the fourth to an unrelated SIP line password, I can only conclude that the documentation is in error since reg.1.auth.password has nothing to do with the administrators password.

Hello @neveunc,

I am unsure what makes you believe that this paragraph is referring to the Admin Password protecting the menu's.
