Administrator’s Guide SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP 

3 - 14

Copy all files from the distribution zip file to the phone home directory. 
Maintain the same folder hierarchy.
The distribution zip file contains:
— sip.ld (including a separate one for every supported model)
— sip.cfg
— phone1.cfg
— 000000000000.cfg
— 000000000000-directory~.xml
— SoundPointIP-dictionary.xml (one of each supported language)
— SoundPointIPWelcome.wav
Refer to the Release Notes for a detailed description of each file in the 

distribution.

You must decide on a boot server security policy.

For organizational purposes, configuring a separate log file directory is 

recommended, but not required. (For more information on 

LOG_FILE_DIRECTORY, refer to 

 on page 

.)

File permissions should give the minimum access required and the account 

used should have no other rights on the server. 
The phone's server account needs to be able to add files to which it can write 

in the log file directory and the root directory. It must also be able to list files 

in all directories mentioned in the <MAC-address>.cfg file. All other files that 

the phone needs to read, such as the application executable and the standard 

configuration files, should be made read-only through file server file 

permissions.

You can successfully deploy SoundPoint IP and SoundStation IP phones from 

one or more boot servers.

Polycom recommends allowing file uploads to the boot server where the security 
environment permits. This allows event log files to be uploaded and changes made 
by the phone user to the configuration (through the web server and local user 
interface) and changes made to the directory to be backed up.
