Polycom Phone

Polycom Phone

A common practice when troubleshooting and provisioning IP devices is the factory reset, or a full restoration of the phone to its factory settings. 

It is important to understand that while factory resetting a phone is a great backup plan if a device is not working properly, all of the localized settings on the device are lost when you factory reset. While you  can reconfigure your phones with auto provisioning or configuration files that can be easily reapplied to the phone, it is important to remember to do so.

 

If your phone is already programmed with PrimeVOX, you can simply follow these instructions:

  1. Press the Menu or Home button
  2. Select Settings > Advanced. The default admin password is admin123. If this does not work, enter the MAC address located at the back of the device
  3. Select Administration Settings
  4. Select Reset to Defaults
  5. Select Reset to Factory
  6. Select Yes to confirm
