Polycom V500 Notas De La Versión

Release Notes
V500 and VSX systems, version 8.5

2

Softupdate now gives you the following options when you select Custom 

installation:

Change the monitor configuration.

Change the system’s network configuration.

Erase the system flash memory. 

Softupdate also includes new online help, which you can access by pressing 

the F1 key or clicking the Help button in any dialog.

Version 8.5 provides several enhancements to make operating the system 

more secure, including a new Security Mode on some systems and additional 

password options. Starting with version 8.5, Softupdate uses secure FTP to 

access the systems and verifies that the download has been digitally signed by 

Polycom before installing it.

With version 8.5, you can configure VSX 3000A, VSX 5000, VSX 6000A, 

VSX 7000s, VSX 7000e, and VSX 8000 systems to use Security Mode, which 

provides secure access to the system. Security Mode is based on Transport 

Layer Security (TLS) 1.0 using 168-bit Triple-DES. These protocols encrypt 

management communication over IP, preventing access by unauthorized 

users.
Every time you enable Security Mode, you must configure a new password for 

the system. The password cannot be blank, and it cannot be the default value 

(serial number).
