You can configure your network to provision Polycom telephony devices directly out of the box to work with NocTel.
This is typically done from a dedicated provisioning VLAN and not the typical voice VLAN network.
In order to do this, add a DHCP Option 160 to your DHCP Server with the content content "httphttps://noctel.com/provision/polycom/"". This URL should not have a trailing slash.
Upon initial boot up of the device, it will configure the phone's bootloader with the following settings:
- Enable DHCP
- Disable CDP
- Enable LLDP
- Set the provisioning server type to HTTPS
- Set the provisioning server to noctel.com
The Polycom device will then reboot and provision as if it was configured manually.
