Warren,

You should used the Device File Manager under the Devices menu to enable
and disable your different versions of firmware.

But to directly answer your question:
/var/sipxdata/configserver/phone/profile/tftproot

Tony,

 

Thanks for the insight regarding the BootROM and firmware, so I will do
as you have suggested and post the results. As far as the process for
removal of the others and upload of the new, what location are these
files stored in so they can be purged? Or is that automatically taken
care of by virtue of creating a new Device File entry and uploading the
new files that you mentioned?

 

Regards,

I am trying to configure several new Polycom SoundPoint IP 550 phones to
work with a newly created SIPXecs server (4.0.1-015823
2009-06-19T07:16:14 ecs-centos5). This system was a default install and
operating fine with (6) older Polycom 501 devices and (4) Bria
Communicator 2.5 devices. After having received these new Polycom 550
phones yesterday, I tried to configure one of them with our SIPXecs
server and encountered several issues along the way. The first issue was
that after adding it as a new Phone Device, and associating a User/Line
with it, I generated the profiles and sent them tothe server. However
the device would boot up and load what appears to be a default app
whereas line 1 is labeled as "SoundPoint IP" and the date and time flash
off/on continuously.

 

These Polycom 550 devices are running firmware version 3.0.4, so upon
researching this online I came across information stating that I needed
to download the matching firmware files from Polycom and add to the
SIPXecs system by creating a new Device File entry. I performed those
actions, and then found that the phone now reboot but hang on the screen
which displays the IP address info and etc following the messages that a
new application was loaded and checked. When the devices freeze, they
actually drop their network connection as well.

 

Then to make things worse, after adding the new file from Polycom for
firmware 3.0.4 (spip_ssip_3_0_4_release_sig.zip), I was asked if I would
like to use those files as the defaults and I accepted. Since that
happened now the original Polycom 501 and Bria 2.5 extensions are no
longer working and display errors about the SIP URL on the Polycom 501s
and the Bria clients just state that the services are unavailable.

 

So at that point things were not looking too well, so I decided to go to
the backup (Config) from the previous day and do a restore. That process
completed successfully, but after the reboot I discovered the my issues
with the registration of the original Polycom 501 and Bria extension was
not any better and that I had also lost some of the custom DNS zone
entries and etc.

 

At this point I have no phones registering with my SIPXecs server,
appear to have the incorrect firmware/config files for the original
Polycom 501 and Bria extensions and still am unable to successfully
configure and register one of the new Polycom SoundPoint 550 devices
that we have purchased.

 

Short of completely rebuilding the server and starting from scratch, is
there information that can be offered to help me with these issues.

 

Regards,

You should have proper bootrom and firmware. I think you are confusing
bootrom versions as actually firmware.

 

http://downloads.polycom.com/voice/voip/relnotes/spip_ssip_3_1_3RevC_rel
notes.pdf

 

Look at PAGE 5.

 

You need Bootrom 4.1 or greater. The latest shipping version firmware
(3.2) is not tested yet, so I would stick with 3.1.3C (split) and
firware 4.1. Remove those others and upload this and let the phone
update before doing anything else. 

 

Post back your success/failure..

 

Thanks.
