AI-generated summary
Genesys Cloud provides provisioning capabilities for Polycom SoundPoint IP phones through manual configuration of three key settings accessed via the phone's administrative menu. Administrators must configure the DHCP Boot Server to static, set the Provisioning Server Type to HTTPS, and specify the Provisioning Server Address using the appropriate regional URL. For local Edge deployments, the provisioning URL uses either the Edge's IP address and port (default port 80) or the Edge's domain address if DNS records exist. For Genesys Cloud Voice, region-specific phone home endpoints must be used across 16 geographic regions spanning North America, South America, Europe, Middle East, and Asia Pacific.
The manual configuration process requires accessing the phone's menu system through Settings > Advanced using the default administrative password (456, or 1234 if previously provisioned). Configuration involves entering text through the phone's keypad using number keys 0-9 for numerals and letters, the hash mark (#) to switch to URL entry mode, and the asterisk (*) key for punctuation. A Polycom SoundPoint base setting must already exist in Genesys Cloud before provisioning begins. Once configured, phones auto-configure network settings, extension registration, feature keys, and certificates, with automatic reboot occurring upon successful configuration.
Phone status verification occurs through the Genesys Cloud Phone Management page, where successful provisioning is indicated by a green status symbol. If misconfiguration occurs, phones can be reset to factory defaults through the Advanced Settings menu by pressing 5, or device-specific settings can be reset by pressing 3, followed by confirmation via the Yes soft key. Alternatively, enabling DHCP on the phone provides automatic discovery of phone settings from the Edge. Troubleshooting options include factory reset or administrative password reset if needed, with additional guidance available through the Junction Networks knowledge base. The documentation includes related provisioning guidance for Polycom SoundPoint IP series devices (301, 320, and 321), covering zero touch provisioning requirements, DHCP and DNS configuration, and HTTP/HTTPS settings.
