Configuring Your Phone Using the Web Configuration Utility
This section explains how to update phone settings from your phone, using the phone’s menu commands. If you wish, you can also update these settings remotely with the Polycom Web Configuration Utility.
The phone’s Web Configuration Utility enables you to view and configure phone behavior from a computer using any compatible Web browser. The utility provides a browser-friendly view of
your phone’s current settings. Using the utility, you can perform many of the same updates from
your computer that you can perform using your phone’s menu system. You can access the utility using any compatible Web browser installed on a computer that
resides on the same network as your phone. Before you begin, you’ll need to know the IP
address of your phone, and the user password (usually 123) to log in to the utility. The Admin password is generally not available to end users to protect against making changes that would cause loss of service. Contact your PBX administrator or IT department for more information.
To access the Web Configuration Utility for your phone:
1 Launch a Web browser from a computer on the same network as your phone. 2 In the Address Bar of your Web Browser, enter the IP address of your phone. For
example, if your phone’s IP address is 123.22.3.4, enter this information in the address bar.
3 Press the Enter key. 4 From the Web Configuration Utility login screen, select User, and enter the user
password. The default user password is 123.
5 Click Submit.
The Web Configuration Utility Home screen is displayed.
