Dear Polycom community.

 

I have an issue registering the hostname for a VVX400, software version - 5.4.2.2834

 

I have found the appropriate setting seen below;

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<!-- Generated device.cfg Configuration File -->
<polycomConfig xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="polycomConfig.xsd">
<device device.baseProfile="" device.set="1">
<device.host device.host.hostname.set="1" device.host.hostname="Pol_12349*299_"> </device.host>
<device.sntp device.sntp.gmtOffset="" device.sntp.serverName="0.uk.pool.ntp.org">
<device.sntp.gmtOffset device.sntp.gmtOffset.set="0">
</device.sntp.gmtOffset>
<device.sntp.serverName device.sntp.serverName.set="1">
</device.sntp.serverName>
</device.sntp>
<device.auth device.auth.localAdminPassword="joejo1" device.auth.localUserPassword="">
<device.auth.localAdminPassword device.auth.localAdminPassword.set="1">
</device.auth.localAdminPassword>
<device.auth.localUserPassword device.auth.localUserPassword.set="0">
</device.auth.localUserPassword>
</device.auth>
<device.prov device.prov.clinkEnabled="" device.prov.lyncDeviceUpdateCredentialType="" device.prov.lyncDeviceUpdateDomain="" device.prov.lyncDeviceUpdateEnabled="" device.prov.lyncDeviceUpdateExtension="" device.prov.lyncDeviceUpdatePassword="" device.prov.lyncDeviceUpdatePin="" device.prov.lyncDeviceUpdateUser="" device.prov.maxRedunServers="" device.prov.password="" device.prov.password.set="0" device.prov.redunAttemptLimit="" device.prov.redunInterAttemptDelay="" device.prov.serverName="http://192.168.1.130:8080/Polycom" device.prov.serverType="2" device.prov.tagSerialNo="0" device.prov.user="" device.prov.user.set="0" device.prov.ztpEnabled="">
<device.prov.upgradeServer device.prov.upgradeServer="**validURL**" device.prov.upgradeServer.set="1">
</device.prov.upgradeServer>
</device.prov>
</device>

 

 

I have also searched the questions already, and found => this <=, but it didn't help.

 

I have tried changing the way I present the hostname format, but haven't been successful. I have downloaded the config files for this phone but have not seen the parameters saved there. As seen below;

<device device.baseProfile="" device.set="1" device.host.hostname.set="1" device.host.hostname="Pol_12349*299_"/>

 

Can anyone inform me as to what to try next? Or can you not provision this setting?

 

Many thanks, Joe.

Hello joethejones,

looking at your example a Star / * is not a valid character.

 

RFC 1035 states:

 

  • 2.3.1. Preferred name syntax
    They must start with a letter, end with a letter or digit, and have as interior characters only letters, digits , and hyphen . There are also some
    restrictions on the length. Labels must be 63 characters or less.

Using:

<device device.set="1" device.hostname.set="1" device.hostname="Pol_12349299_" />

Imported via the Web Interface (An example File packd as a ZIP is attached):

Hello joethejones,

welcome back to the Polycom Community.

How do you load this configuration?

 

Are you importing a config file or are you loading this from a provisioning server?

Is this the same procedure for a Polycom VVX410 Deskphone as well?

Hello @Matt Russell

welcome to the Polycom Community.

It is always useful to include the currently used UC Software version as issues experienced or a question asked may already be addressed in a newer release.

This also allows yourself and others to check against current software release notes, Administrator Guides or FAQ post’s.

The above is also stated in the "Must Read First" and is the absolute minimum requirement every new post should include. .

In addition providing us with this basic information gives Polycom an idea what Software Versions are used in the field and avoids wasting time trying to troubleshoot issues which have already been addressed.

Therefore the Polycom VoIP FAQ contains this post here:

Question: How can I find out my SIP or UC Software Version of my Phone?
Resolution: Please check here

 

To answer your actual question : YES

 

Jan 25, 2015 Question: Why do most FAQ posts not mention the VVX101, 150, 201, 250, 301, 311, 350, 401, 411, 450, 501, 601, Polycom Trio 8800 or Trio 8500, VVX D60 or CX5500?

ResolutionMost FAQ posts have been written before these new phones had been introduced. Please check the Admin Guide and/or Release notes for compatibility issues.
