New phone templates updated with newer phone models

Posted by playmaker66 on Wed, 04/30/2014

I was wondering if you guys were planning on integrating the newer Polycom VVX phone models as provisioning templates in TL 7? As Microsoft Lync continues to grow in popularity, so the support of the phone vendors goes as well when it comes to new models of phones. Don't get me wrong, the Soundpoint IP series of the 331/335/450/550/650/670 modes are great but I'm hoping that the newer phones can be added.

Seeing how Polycom has added video functionality on almost all of the VVX series of phones and added color screens, the attraction to potential customers is towards that line.

I know that Polycom has completely revamped provisioning on the new series which creates a challenge to integrate. Is this something you guys are actively looking into integrating?

I am already using VVX in TL7, but be warned that only 4.1.6 supports the expansion module, not the 5.0 branch of software. They announced 5.0.10 will support them but after 6mos and still only at 5.0.2 I am not holding my breath for a date this calendar year.

Are you currently manually adding/editing these files? Right now that's what we're doing for the VVX phones. Have you made any templates/scripts you would be willing to share?
