What Software Version will Polycom ship phones with ?

 

Polycom periodically updates the shipping configurations of the SoundPoint IP, SoundStation IP, Polycom Trio, VVX business media or CCX phones.

 

The Polycom® Engineering Advisories and Technical Notifications page => here <= lists the Product Shipping Configuration Change Notice.

  

Why does Polycom not ship the devices with the latest Software?

In order to maintain up-to-date interoperability, these shipping changes are carefully planned to ensure minimum disruption in the field.

 

As with all Polycom IP phone products, End customers should refer to their Polycom VoIP-certified channel partner for technical support and product assistance.

Such requests need to be raised with your Polycom reseller.

 

Can I order a Phone in Skype for Business or Teams mode?
