DHCP and the Polycom CX700 IP Phone
All computers that are on a TCP/IP network must have an IP address for the
network to work correctly. Generally, you can manually configure IP
addresses at each computer, or you can install a Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) server that automatically assigns IP addresses to each client
computer or device on the network. The Polycom CX700 phone is no exception
and therefore can receive only DHCP-assigned IP addresses and requires no
configuration on the device.
A DHCP client is any network-enabled device that enables you to
communicate with a DHCP server to obtain dynamic, leased IP configuration
and related optional information. The Polycom CX700 phone is a DHCP client.
DHCP Search Options
To complete unqualified domain name system (DNS) names that will be used
to search and submit DNS queries at the client for resolution, you must have a
list of DNS suffixes that can be appended to these DNS names. For DHCP
clients, this can be set by assigning the DNS domain name option (Option 15)
and providing a single DNS suffix for the client to append and use in searches.
In some circumstances it is preferable that a DHCP client be configured by
using multiple DNS suffixes, supported with the use of DHCP Search Option
119.
DHCP Search Option 119 is passed from the DHCP server to the DHCP client
to specify the domain search list used when resolving hostnames with DNS.
DHCP Search Option 119 applies only to DNS and does not apply to other
name resolution mechanisms.
DHCP Option
Description
015
Specifies the connection-specific DNS domain suffix to
be used by the DHCP client.

When the Polycom CX700 phone connects to the Microsoft Office
Communications Server 2007 R2, it queries in the following order.
1. Hosts and port pointed to by these SRV records
— _sipinternaltls._tcp.<SIP domain>
— _sip._tls.<SIP domain>

Exchange Server 2007 Autodiscover Service
Microsoft® Exchange Server 2007 includes a new Exchange service named the
Autodiscover service. The Autodiscover service configures client computers
that are running Microsoft® Office Outlook 2007. The Autodiscover service
can also configure supported mobile devices. The Autodiscover service
provides access to Exchange features for Outlook 2007 clients that are
connected to an Exchange messaging environment. The Autodiscover service
must be deployed and configured correctly for Outlook 2007 clients to
automatically connect to Exchange features, such as the offline address book,
the Availability service, and Unified Messaging (UM).
For more information, see the Exchange Server TechCenter topic How to
Configure Exchange Services for the Autodiscover Service at
Retrieving Outlook Contacts, Call Logs, and Voice Mail
The Polycom CX700 phone retrieves Outlook contacts, call logs, and voice
mails and displays them on the device. The Polycom CX700 phone does this
by accessing the Exchange Server 2007 Client Access Server (CAS) and
retrieving the information by using Exchange Web Services (EWS). The
Polycom CX700 phone locates the Exchange Server 2007 CAS by using an A
record that is in DNS. It uses the SMTP domain of the primary e-mail address
for the user to locate the A record. The primary e-mail address is sent to the
device during the sign-in process through in-band provisioning. The A record
it is querying is in the following order.

Deploying Polycom CX700 Phone within a Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Environment
Outlook 2007 uses Active Directory Service Connections Points (SCP) and
DNS SRV records to locate Exchange Server 2007 CAS. However, the device
does not support these additional methods.
The Autodiscover service finds and presents the various URLs that are used to
interact with Exchange Web Services and information about how to connect
Outlook 2007 to Exchange Server 2007. The device uses those URLs to retrieve
the Outlook contacts, call logs, and voice mails from Exchange Server 2007.
Polycom CX700 Phone Querying of Exchange Server 2007
The device must be able to resolve to the Exchange Web Services URL and
connect to it using HTTP or HTTPS.
If HTTPS is enabled, the certificate must be trusted by the device.
The Polycom CX700 phone tries to connects to the Exchange Server 2007
Autodiscover service in the following order:
•
•
•
http -> https redirect
On successful response, the Polycom CX700 phone connects to the Exchange
Web Service URL in the Autodiscover response XML.
The certificate from Exchange Server 2007 must be trusted.
NTP and the Polycom CX700 IP Phone
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is the default time synchronization protocol
that is used by the Windows Time service in Windows Server 2003. NTP is a
fault-tolerant, highly scalable, time protocol that is used most frequently for
synchronizing computer clocks. It does this by using a designated time
reference. The Polycom CX700 phone requires NTP to set the correct time and
date for the Polycom CX700 phone.
NTP Time Provider
The NTP provider is the standard time provider that is included with
Windows Server 2003. The NTP provider in the Windows Time service
consists of the following two parts:
•
NtpServer output provider. This is a time server that responds to client
time requests on the network.
•
NtpClient input provider. This is a time client that obtains time
information from another source, either a hardware device or an NTP
server, and can return time samples that are useful for synchronizing the
local clock.

Deployment Guide for the Polycom CX700 IP Phone
Although the actual operations of these two providers are closely related, they
appear independent to the time service. By default, when a computer that is
running Windows Server 2003 is connected to a network, it is configured as an
NTP client.
The Polycom CX700 phone searches for a NTP server in DNS as follows:
•
NTP SRV record (UDP port 123)
— _ntp._udp.<SIP domain> pointing to NTP server
If it cannot find the NTP SRV record, it will try to use windows.com as an NTP
server:
•
NTP A record
— time.windows.com
To set Group Policy for Windows Time Service global configuration settings:
1. From the MMC, click Active Directory Users and Computers.
2. Right-click the domain that contains the NTP server, and then select
Properties.
3. Click the Group Policy tab, make sure that the Default Domain Policy is
highlighted, and then click Edit.
4. Click Computer Configuration, click Administrative Templates, click
System, and then click Windows Time Service.
5. Click Time Providers and in the right pane, double-click Enable
Windows NTP Server, select the Enabled button, and then click OK.
6. From the Group Policy Object Editor menu, select File, and then click
Exit.
Server Security Framework Overview
The following section summarizes the elements that form the security
framework for Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2. It is helpful
to understand how these elements work together when you deploy the
Polycom CX700 phone in your organization.
These security elements are as follows:
•
Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) provides a single trusted,
back-end repository for user accounts and network resources.
•
PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) uses certificates that are issued by trusted
CAs (certificate authorities) to authenticate servers and to help ensure data
integrity.
6

Deploying Polycom CX700 Phone within a Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Environment
•
TLS (Transport Layer Security) and MTLS (Mutual Transport Layer
Security) enable endpoint authentication and instant messaging (IM)
encryption. Media streams are encrypted by using Secure Real-time
Transport Protocol (SRTP).
These fundamental elements work together to define trusted users, servers,
and connections. The resulting trust relationships provide the foundation on
which the complete Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 security
framework is built.
Root CA Certificate for the Polycom CX700 Phone
Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 relies on certificates to
authenticate servers and to establish a chain of trust between clients and
servers and among the different server roles. By default, communication
between the Polycom CX700 phone and Office Communications Server 2007
R2 is encrypted by using TLS and SRTP. Therefore, the device must be able to
trust certificates presented by Office Communications Server 2007 R2 servers.
A means must always exist for the VoIP client to create the TLS secured
connection that is required for audio communication on the network.
Publicly Hosted Certificate Authority Solution
If Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 servers use public
certificates, the certificates will most likely be automatically trusted by the
device, because the device contains the same list of trusted CAs as Windows
CE. The table at the end of this topic lists the public certificates that are trusted
by the Polycom CX700 phone.
Privately Hosted Certificate Authority Solution
Most Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 deployments use
internal certificates for the internal Office Communications Server 2007 R2
server roles. In these types of deployments, the Root CA certificate must be
installed from the internal CA to the device. Because you cannot manually
install the Root CA certificate on the device, the certificate must be
downloaded to the device through the network.
The Polycom CX700 phone downloads the certificate using the following
methods:
1. The device searches for Active Directory directory objects of category
certificationAuthority. If the search returns any objects, the device will
use the attribute caCertificate. This attribute is assumed to hold the
certificate and the device will install the certificate.
The Root CA certificate must be published in the caCertificate for the
Polycom CX700 phone. To place the Root CA certificate in the caCertificate
attribute, use the following command:
certutil -f -dspublish <Root CA certificate in .cer file> RootCA.
7

Deployment Guide for the Polycom CX700 IP Phone
2. If the search for Active Directory objects of category
CertificationAuthority does not return any objects, or if the objects have
empty caCertificate attributes, the device searches for Active Directory
objects of category pKIEnrollmentService in the configuration naming
context. Such objects exist if certificate AutoEnrollment was enabled in
Active Directory. If the search returns any objects, it will use the
dNSHostName attribute returned to reference the CA and it will then use
the Web interface of the Microsoft Certificates Service to retrieve the Root
CA certificate by using the HTTP GET command
l=-1&Enc=b64
.
If neither of these methods succeeds, the device displays the error message
“Cannot validate server certificate” and the user is unable to use the device.
Polycom CX700 Phone Certificates
The following is a list of considerations for issuing certificates to the Polycom
CX700 phone.
•
By default, the uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Real-time
Transport Protocol (SRTP).
— Requirement: Trust certificates presented by Office Communications
Server 2007 R2 and Exchange Server 2007 server.
— Requirement: Root certification authority (CA) chain certificate
resides on the device.
•
•
No manual installation of certificate on device is possible.
Options:
— Use public certificates
— Preloaded public certificates on device
— Use of enterprise certificates
— Receive the Root CA chain from the network
Enterprise Root CA Chain
The Polycom CX700 phone can find the certificate by using either the public
key infrastructure (PKI) PKI auto-enrollment object in Active Directory
Domain Services or through a well-known distinguished name (DN).
•
•
Enable PKI auto-enrollment through Enterprise CA.
— Device makes an LDAP request to find pKIEnrollmentService/CA
server address and eventually download the certificate over HTTP to
Windows CA /certsrv site by using the users credentials.
Use certutil -f -dspublish .cer file location" RootCA to upload certificates
to the Configuration NC.

Upgrading Polycom CX700 Phone
within a Microsoft Office
Communications Server 2007 R2
Environment
This chapter detailed instructions on how to upgrade Polycom CX700 IP
Phone. Due to a number of issues, the upgrade may be a two-step process,
which includes a hard reset of the phone to remove any pre-existing phone
credentials, certificates chains, and URLs.

Deployment Guide for the Polycom CX700 IP Phone
Introduction
The Polycom® CX700 IP Phone may contain one of the following software
releases:
Corresponding Microsoft Office
Software Releases
1.0.199.123
Communications Server (OCS) 2007
OCS 2007 (R1)—software on phones
1.0.522.101
OCS 2007 (R1)—download from
Microsoft web site
3.5.6907.35
OCS 2007 (R2)—download from
Microsoft web site
This section will focus on upgrading the Polycom CX700 phone from
1.0.199.123 to 1.0.522.101 and then to 3.5.6907.35 using an Office
Communications Server 2007 R2 Device Update service.
If any of the Polycom CX700 phones are running a software release earlier than
1.0.199.123, it may be necessary to install an R1 Update Server to update to
1.0.199.123. If the phone is already running 1.0.199.123, the upgrade process to
1.0.522.101,and then 3.5.6907.35 can be performed using an Office
Communications Server 2007 R2 Device Update service only. It is not possible to
upgrade directly from 1.0.199.123 to 3.5.6907.35—due to 1.0.199.123 software
limitations.
The Polycom CX700 phone software updates behaves differently in terms of
environmental dependencies and how the device locates firmware updates.
Version 1.0.199.123 is the least tolerant of variations in the environment.

Assumptions and Terminology
Terminology
When referring to signing in to the Polycom CX700 phone, the following
format will be used:
Sign-in address: userAlias@SIPDomain
Domain\User name: DomainFQDN\userAlias
For example:

<SIPDomain> in this document)
Domain\User name: contoso.com\ocstest1(contoso.com represents
<DHCPDomain> in this document)
<SIPDomain> and <DHCPDomain> are used as placeholders to distinguish
between the domain used in the Sign-in address: list box and the domain
specified in the Domain\User name: list box:
•
<SIPDomain>
This is the SIP domain of the user that’s signing into the OCPE device and
is the same one they use when signing into their MOC client.
•
<DHCPDomain>
This is the domain assigned by DHCP Option 015 DNS Domain Name and
is usually the NetBIOS name of the domain containing the pool running
the Device Update service. Domain\User name is analogous to the
account the user signs in to Active Directory with.
In some environments the <SIPDomain> and <DHCPDomain> values will be the
same but they are purposely kept different in the examples used here to highlight
the issues that arise as a result of them being different.
For example; depending on the firmware version, a phone will look in <SIPDomain>
for the _ntp._udp SRV record but in <DHCPDomain> for locating a domain
controller to use for LDAP queries. And to make it more confusing, and the phone
will occasionally query DNS using a combination of <SIPDomain>.<DHCPDomain>
(e.g., _sipinternal._tcp.fabrikam.com.contoso.com) as sort of a catchall query.
Although some phone queries concatenate <SIPDomain> and <DHCPDomain> It
is not necessary to create any corresponding concatenated DNS records in order to
upgrade a Polycom CX700 phone. Refer to the table in Step 1.2 - Configure DNS

Deployment Guide for the Polycom CX700 IP Phone
The Polycom CX700 phone reset options are as follows:
•
•
Power cycle— Reboot the phone by removing and then reapplying power
Soft Reset—Press the reset button on the back of the phone just long
enough to reset it
•
Hard Reset - Unplug the phone, use a paper clip to press and hold the reset
button (small hole on back between USB and Headphone jack), reapply
power (while continuing to hold down the reset button) until the scroll bar
on the display goes all the way across the screen. Then release the reset
button and within 30 to 120 seconds, the display should change to the
white calibration screen with the large plus sign in the center.
This process removes any credentials, certificate chains and XML
configuration files and restores the phone to factory defaults.
The first time a user powers up the phone and signs in, the phone gets in-band
provisioning information from the server or Enterprise pool hosting the user's
account. The information contains the internal and external URL of the server
running Device Update Service.
For example, this is the payload from a packet returned by the pool indicating
the location of the cpe.nbt file for both internal and external phones (some code
has been removed for clarity):
Http: Response, HTTP/1.1, Status Code = 200, URL:
/RequestHandler/ucdevice.upx
ProtocolVersion: HTTP/1.1

•
There is an internal DNS zone called fabrikam.com (i.e., the
<SIPDomain>) created manually and populated with autodiscover
(pointed to Exchange UM) and sip A records. It also contains
_sipinternaltls._tcp and _ntp._udp SRV records.
•
There is an Active Directory DNS zone called contoso.com (i.e., the
<DHCPDomain>) and created automatically during setup. It will contain
the pool and ucupdates-r2 A records at a minimum. It also hosts all
machine accounts.
•
•
There are corresponding external DNS zones for contoso.com and
fabrikam.com.
There is a reverse proxy that is publishing the pool locations for
DeviceUpdateFiles_Ext and RequestHandlerExt (refer to Device Update
•
Software release 1.0.522.101 is set to “Approved” and software release
3.5.6907.35 is set to “Pending”. To upgrade from 1.0.522.101 to 3.5.6907.35,
the phones are added to the Test Devices tab to limit the upgrade to just
the targeted devices.
Background
When trying to figure out why one or more steps in the upgrade process are
not working, it is helpful to know how it is supposed to work. This section
provides a brief explanation of the components involved and how a Polycom
CX700 phone interacts with DNS, Pool, Web Components service and the
Device Update service.

Device Update File Storage
During Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 installation, Device
Update Service is automatically installed on all servers running the Web
Components Server role. You do not need to plan for additional servers to
support Device Update Service.
Device Update Service uses a number of files that must be stored on a file
system. The location is different, depending on which edition of Office
Communications Server 2007 R2 you are running.

Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Enterprise Edition.
Before running the Create Enterprise Pool wizard during deployment,
you must create a shared folder for both client and device update files.
Device Update Service creates folders within this shared folder in which
to store update image files, log files, and configuration files. The shared
folder will also be used by Office Communications Server for storing
Office Communicator update files. During installation you will need to
provide the UNC path of this folder.
For example, if you specified Pool01Data during setup, the path would be:
C:\Pool01Data\ClientUpdateStore\DeviceUpdates
•
Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Standard Edition. The
installer automatically creates the DeviceUpdateFiles folder in the Web
Components folder under the Office Communications Server 2007 R2
installation folder on the local computer. This folder is not shared, and it
inherits the permissions of the installation folder. Device Update Service
creates folders within the DeviceUpdateFiles folder in which to store
update image files, log files, and configuration files.
By default:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007
R2\Web Components\DeviceUpdateFiles\DeviceUpdates
Two virtual directories in Internet Information Services (IIS) refer to these
folders:
•
The DeviceUpdateFiles_int virtual directory points internal devices to the
updates folder.
•
The DeviceUpdateFiles_ext virtual directory points external devices to the
updates folder.
By default, the built in group Users (for example, Pool01\Users) is issued

Upgrading Polycom CX700 Phone within a Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Environment
How Polycom CX700 Phones Connect to the Device Update Service
At a high level, a Polycom CX700 phone using the default configuration
connects to the Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS) 2007 R2 Device
Update Service in the following way:
1. When a user signs in to an OCPE device, the device contacts the server or
pool hosting the corresponding user account to obtain in-band
provisioning information that includes the internal and external URL of
the IIS server running the Device Update Service.
If the device is turned on, but no user signs on, and no user has ever
previously signed on to the device (or a hard reset is performed) AND it's
running either version 1.0.522.101 or 3.5.6907.35; the device sends a DNS
lookup request to ucupdates-r2.<DHCPDomain> to obtain the FQDN of
the pool server running Device Update Service.
Software release 1.0.199.123 does not check for a DNS A record called
“ucupdates.<DHCPDomain>”. The check was disabled for this particular software
release so the only option for obtaining the FQDN of the Device Update service is
via in-band provisioning; which only occurs by signing in to the phone.
Thereafter, when the phone is turned on or every 24 hours by default, the
phone queries DNS for ucupdates-r2.<DHCPDomain> and sends an
HTTP POST request over port 80 to the IP Address returned. The request
to the Web Components Server hosting the Device Update Service and
includes the MAC address and serial number of the phone issuing the
request.
If you sign in to the phone, this will be a DNS query for an A record called
ucupdates-r2.<DHCPDomain> which returns the pool IP address.
1. The Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS) 2007 R2 Device
Update Service returns a response containing one of the following:
•
•
If no updates exists for the current version, the response contains
downloads=0. For test devices, updates must be “Pending” rather than
“Approved” for this to occur.
If an approved update exists for the current version, the response contains
an internal and external URL for Device Update Service. For test devices,
updates must be “Pending” rather than “Approved” for this to occur.
In the latter case, the phone sends an HTTP update request over port 80 to
the Device Update Service unless the device is remote; in that case HTTPS
over port 443 is used.

Deployment Guide for the Polycom CX700 IP Phone
2. If the phone determines it is running a down level version of firmware it
issues either an HTTP or HTTPS GET request to the pool hosting the
Device Update Service:
/A/ENU/1.0.522.101/CPE/CPE.nbt
0/A/ENU/1.0.522.101/CPE/CPE.nbt
Where 192.168.7.81 is the internal pool IP address and 63.123.155.6 is the
reverse proxy address defined in WMI as the ExternalBaseURL value.
3. The image is downloaded to the device using HTTP (80) internally or
HTTPS (443) externally.
4. The phone waits for five minutes of idle activity, and then restarts.
5. When restart is complete, the phone is updated but will need to be
recalibrated before use.

Upgrading Polycom CX700 Phone within a Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Environment
When looking through a NetMon trace from an upgrade to 1.0.522.101, you may
notice that the DNS query for ucupdates-r2.<DHCPDomain> does not occur until
the CPE.NBT file had already started streaming to the OCPE device. This happens
when you sign into the phone prior to the upgrade starting; if you do not sign in, the
DNS query would have occurred at the beginning of the trace.
Polycom CX700 Phone Upgrade Steps - Summary
If your environmental dependencies are close to being set and you just want a
high level checklist of the steps involved in configuring Microsoft Office
Communications Server (OCS) 2007 R2 to upgrade from release 1.0.199.123 to
1.0.522.101 and then to 3.5.6907.35, the following is a summary of the steps. For
more details, refer to the next section, Polycom CX700 Phone Upgrade Steps -
1. Set Environmental Dependencies
a
Configure DHCP
— Set Option 006 = the IP Address of internal DNS server
— Set Option 015 = the <DHCPDomain> (contoso.com is used in the
example)
— Optional; set Option 119 = FQDN of any domain containing users that
may connect using and Polycom CX700 phone as well as the domain
containing the pool running Device Updater
b
Configure DNS for <SIPDomain> (fabrikam.com is used in the
example)
Add A records for:
— autodiscover.fabrikam.com pointed to the IP address or the
Exchange CAS server used by OCS
— sip.fabrikam.com pointed to the IP address of the pool running
Device Updater
Add SRV records for:
— _sipinternaltls._tcp .fabrikam.com pointed to the FQDN of pool
running Device Update service on port 5061
— _ntp._udp. fabrikam.com pointed to the FQDN of NTP server
(typically time.windows.com but can be any NTP server FQDN)
on port 123

c
Configure DNS for <DHCPDomain> (contoso.com is used in the
example)
Add A records for:
— yourPoolName.contoso.com pointed to the IP address of the pool
running Device Update service
— ucupdates-r2.contoso.com pointed to the IP address of the pool
running Device Update service. If you currently have a
ucupdates.<DHCPDomain> A record, it can be deleted if all your
Polycom CX700 phones are release 1.0.199.123 or later.
Add SRV records for
— No SRV records required
If upgrading Polycom CX700 phones remotely, refer to the table in Step 1.2 -
d
Configure Certificates
— If using a W2K8 / W2K3 Enterprise CA, the RootCA certificate chain
should already be published but you can confirm that using the steps
— If using a W2K8 / W2K3 Standard CA, use certutil -f to upload
certificate chain and then confirm that it was successfully published it
is present using the steps in Enabling Automatic Certificate
Enrollment.
2. Configure Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS)
On the pool running the Device Update service:
— Modify the Client Version filter to allow “OCPhone” devices equal to
or greater than (=>) release 1.0.199.* .
If you get the error "Cannot sign in. You do not have the necessary permissions.
Contact your system administrator." when trying to authenticate it is probably
related to the Client Version filter not being set properly.
— Modify Device Update Service External URLs (required even if
upgrading Polycom CX700 phones internally).
3. Upgrade Polycom CX700 phone from release 1.0.199.123 to 1.0.522.101
— Download the latest build 522 ucupdates.exe file
1b339-df7e-486f-a47a-23d7ed8be6fd&DisplayLang=en, expand the
CAB file, upload and approve it using Device Updater.

Upgrading Polycom CX700 Phone within a Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Environment
— Performs a hard reset, and then recalibrate the phone.
— Sign-in to the Polycom CX700 phone using your SIP URI for the
Sign-in Address value and your domain FQDN for the Domain\User
name value (e.g., [email protected] and contoso.com\ocstest1
respectively).
4. Upgrade Polycom CX700 phone from release from 1.0.522.101 to
3.5.6907.35
— Download the latest build 6907 ucupdates.exe file
95be-6cf3-4a61-a1e4-12555749ca64&displaylang=en&tm, expand the
CAB file, upload and leave it as “Pending” using Device Updater.
— Add the MAC address of the phone you are upgrading to release
3.5.6907.35 . (Later you can make 3.5.6907.35 approved but there may
be existing phones with release 1.0.522.101 that you do not want
upgraded to 3.5.6907.35 and this approach allows you to control
which phones are upgraded.)
— When upgrading from 1.0.199.123 to 1.0.522.101, a ucupdates.XML file
is copied to the Polycom CX700 phone and it should not be necessary
to sign back in, but you will want to power cycle the phone to start the
upgrade.
if you do a hard reset, you will wipe the ucupdates.xml file and will need to sign in to
the Polycom CX700 phone to trigger the upgrade to 3.5.6907.35 . You may also
have to wait 15 minutes for the update to begin.
— If you do sign-in to the Polycom CX700 phone, use your SIP URI for
the Sign-in Address value and your domain FQDN for the
Domain\User name value (for example, [email protected] and
contoso.com\ocstest1 respectively).
— The Polycom CX700 phone should upgrade to 3.5.6907.35 at this point.
Polycom CX700 Phone Upgrade Steps - Details
Use the detailed steps in this section if you are just getting started with
configuring Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 to upgrade
Polycom CX700 phones.
Step 1 - Set Environmental Dependencies
Prior to upgrading the Polycom CX700 phone’s software, there are certain
environmental dependencies that must be in place. Some dependencies are
only required for upgrading from 1.0.199.123 to 1.0.522.101 or are considered
optional and will be noted as such.

Deployment Guide for the Polycom CX700 IP Phone
Step 1.1 - Configure DHCP
The first step is to make sure the Polycom CX700 phone can get an IP address
and the necessary DNS (and potentially WINS) information it needs to locate
a time service, certificate chain and pool running the Device Update service.
The figure below shows both WINS and DHCP Option 119 configured but
typically you will only configure Option 119 and leave the WINS scope
options out.
Polycom CX700 phones look for a WINS entry matching the NetBIOS name of
<DHCPDomain> (for example, CONTOSO or CONTOSO.COM if you sign in using
the domain FQDN in the Domain\User name: field). All examples in this document
were done using the domain FQDN (so WINS was not used).
If the <SIPDomain> value that users sign in to their Polycom CX700 phones
with is different than the domain where their domain controller is located, you
can configure DHCP Option 119 to include a list of all the domains to check for
a DC. For instructions on configuring Option 119, refer to How to Configure
Step 1.2 - Configure DNS
The following DNS records are required for upgrading but some are only
required for a specific phase (for example, ucupdates-r2 is only used from
1.0522.101 to 3.5.6907.35):

Polycom CX700 phones running release 1.0.199.123 look for time.windows.com by
default and use it if it's reachable. If not, they append <DHCPDomain> to
time.windows.com and try again (e.g. time.windows.com.contoso.com).
Polycom CX700 phones running 3.5.6907.35 use SRV records to locate a time
source but also checks for a time.windows.com A record for reporting its time back
to the pool (applies to 1.0.199.123 and 1.0.522.101 also).

Step 1.3 - Configure Certificates
Two approaches to configure certificates are provided. By default, a Windows
2008 / 2003 Enterprise Certificate Authority (CA) will publish the trusted root
certificate chain in Active Directory automatically.
To determine whether you need to run certutil, you can confirm that the
certificate chain is present by running ADSIedit.msc to check the
Configuration naming context for the following entry under CN=Certification
Authorities (you should see your Enterprise CA listed with a Class type of
certificationAuthority).
Once you’ve determined that your Enterprise CA is listed, you can confirm
that the Trusted Root certificate chain actually uploaded by double-clicking on
your Enterprise CA (CN=ContosoCA in the example) and look for the
cACertificate attribute. It should be populated because this is the data
(basically .CER file) that the Polycom CX700 phone pulls down from Active
Directory to populate its Trusted Root Certificate cache in order to trust the
pools internally issued certificate (refer to the following figure).
26
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Upgrading Polycom CX700 Phone within a Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Environment
Do one of the following:
•
Upload certificate chain
If for some reason the cACertificate attribute is not populated, or you want
to make sure that it contains the information you want, you can run
certutil with the -f option to force an override as shown.
On a domain controller, open cmd.exe and run the following command:
certutil -f -dspublish ".CER file location" RootCA
For example:
certutil -f -dspublish "c:\certs\ContosoCARootChain.cer"
RootCA
•
Enable Auto Enrollment
As an alternative to running certutil and uploading the Trusted Root
Certificate Chain into Active Directory, you can enable the domain for
certificate auto enrollment. For instructions, refer to Enabling Automatic
Step 1.4 - Configure Microsoft Office Communications Server
Modify client version filter
On the Pool running the Device Update service, confirm that Client Version
control is either turned off or the filter is set to a value that will allow OCPhone
(Polycom CX700 phone) devices that are version 1.0.199.* or higher as shown
in the figure below. There is also a client version filter on the Edge so if you
plan to upgrade external Polycom CX700 phones as well, be sure to make the
same adjustment on your Edge server (set to 1.0.522.* by default).
27

Deployment Guide for the Polycom CX700 IP Phone
Modify Device Update Service External URLs (required even if upgrading
OCPE devices internally)
There are two URLs used by external Polycom CX700 phones for downloading
updates; the DownloadURL and StoreURL. If there are Polycom CX700
phones that need to upgrade remotely, then use either the Automatic or
Manual method to configure the DownloadURL / StoreURL values using
WMI.
In some cases, the URLs already contain the correct values and may not need
modification. You can confirm this by running steps 1 - 5 only of the Manual
approach described below.
Use the Automated Method:
1. Create a VBS file, ConfigureExternalDownloadURLs, that you can use to
modify the client version filter and automate the creation of the
DownloadURL and StoreURL WMI entries.
2. From a command prompt on a front end server in the pool running the
Device Update service, run cscript
ConfigureExternalDownloadURLs.vbs
3. The script will populate the DownloadURL / StoreURL values with the
FQDN of the reverse proxy server that is publishing the URLs from
which remote Polycom CX700 phones will download updated image files
from (e.g. ocsrp.fabrikam.com) and update the client version filter.
4. If you plan to upgrade external Polycom CX700 phones, open a browser
from outside the corporate firewall, connect to
download cpe.nbt to confirm that remote OCPE devices will be able to
download firmware updates.
Use the Manual Method:
1. Click Start, click Run, and then type wbemtest to open Window
Management Instrumentation Tester.
2. Click Connect. For Name space, type root\cimv2, and then click Connect.
This enables all the buttons on the wbemtest user interface.
3. Click Query, and type the following query:
select * from MSFT_SIPUpdatesServerSetting where
backend='$poolbackend$'
where $poolbackend$ is the backend database of the pool in
instance\database format.

Upgrading Polycom CX700 Phone within a Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Environment
To determine the correct syntax for the DB to connect to you can look at the Pool,
Database tab; the value listed for Database Instance Name: is the value you
substitute for $poolbackend$. Also, double quotes work as well as single quotes
Also, you have to add a second backslash to existing backslash separating
the instance name from the database name as shown (for example,
'(local)\\rtc'):
4. This query opens one instance of this class. Double-click the instance.

for each property as follows:
For ExternalUpdatesDownloadURL, type
6. Click Save Property.
For ExternalUpdatesStoreURL, type
7. Click Save Property and then Save Object to save the instance.
8. Click Close.
9. Verify that the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) values are
updated by querying the class as described in step 3. The
ExternalUpdatesDownloadURL and ExternalUpdatesStoreURL
properties should be set to a non-NULL value.
10. Click Exit to close wbemtest.
Verify Internal and External Download URLs
Confirm that internal and external Polycom CX700 phones will be able to
download firmware updates.

Deployment Guide for the Polycom CX700 IP Phone
For details on Verifying External Device Access refer to the Microsoft Office
Communications Server (OCS) 2007 R2 product documentation:
In previous releases of OCS 2007, Polycom CX700 phones operating outside the
firewall connected to the update service by using anonymous access. In this
release, to enhance security, Polycom CX700 phones by default must use NTLM
authentication. This means that a user must be logged on to the device with a valid
user account in order for an external device to connect to Device Update service
and receive updates.
If your organization has external Polycom CX700 phones that were deployed with
the previous version of OCS 2007, and you want to use OCS 2007 R2 to update
them, you must enable Anonymous access for the RequestHandlerExt virtual
directory in Internet Information Services (IIS). For security reasons, once all
previously deployed devices have been updated, you should disable anonymous
access on this virtual directory. OCS 2007 R2 Polycom CX700 phones can be
updated without Anonymous access.
Step 1.5 - Configure a Time Source
This step is optional.
If you are not using time.windows.com as your time source, you can configure
a Windows 2008 / 2003 domain member server as an NTP server. For more
Once configured, modify the _ntp._udp.<SIPDomain> SRV record to point to
the FQDN of the internal NTP server. In some cases, this may require creating
DNS zone for <SIPDomain>.
Step 2 - Upgrade Polycom CX700 Phones from 1.0.199.123 to 1.0.522.101
Once the environmental dependencies are in place, the next step in the process
is to upgrade the Polycom CX700 phone’s software from release 1.0.199.123 to
1.0.522.* (either .101 or .103). (The reason you cannot directly from 1.0.199.123
to 3.5.6907.35 is because the 1.0.199.123 software does not recognize builds
greater than 1.0.522.*).
Step 2.1 - Prepare Software Update Files
There are three basic steps to this process:
1. Download the UCUpdates files and uncompress them to CAB files
2. Upload the CAB files to the pool and uncompress them further to CPE
files
3. Approve the CPE files

Upgrading Polycom CX700 Phone within a Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Environment
To prepare the software update files:
1. Download the Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS) 2007
1.0.522.101 Polycom CX700 phone software release (UCUpdates.exe) here
and store it on a Pool Front End server (for example,
c:\UCUpdates\522.101).
2. Open a CMD window, change to the directory where you downloaded
the 1.0.522.101 version of UCUpdates and run the ucupdates.exe file.
Extract the CAB file to a directory (for example, use the same directory
that ucupdates.exe is in).
3. From the Pool Front End server, click Start, Administrative Tools, Office
Communications Server R2.
4. Right-click on the Pool and click Device Updater. Select Tools, Upload
.cab File.
5. Navigate to the directory where you extracted the CAB file (for example,
c:\UCUpdates\522.101), click on UCUpdates and click Open.
This will extract the 3 CPE.* files from the CAB file and make them
available for Approval / Rollback.
6. Click the Pending Updates tab and ensure that 1.0.522.101 is in the
“Pending” state. Do not change it at this time.
7. Click the Test Devices tab and add the Polycom CX700 phone to be
upgraded (no spaces / dashes in the MAC address).
Step 2.2 - Upgrade the Polycom CX700 Phone from 1.0.199.123 to
1.0.522.101
Now that the necessary CPE files have been installed and a test device created,
it is time to upgrade the Polycom CX700 phone (test device) to release
1.0.522.101.
To upgrade the phone to release 1.0.522.101:
1. With the power off, connect the Polycom CX700 phone that you
configured as a “Test Device” in the step 2.1 to the same network subnet
as the Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 pool containing
the Device Update service.
2. Perform a hard reset—hold down the reset button on the back of the
phone using a paper clip through the small hole near the headset plug
in— while keeping the reset button depressed, plug in the power supply.
When the scroll bar goes all the way across the screen, let go of the reset
button and wait approximately 15 seconds for the white calibration screen.
3. Calibrate the phone by clicking the plus signs and then press the button
in the center of the scroll wheel.

4. Sign in to the Polycom CX700 phone using an account that is on the same
pool as the Device Update service.
If the Polycom CX700 phone is not picking up downloads, be sure the client version
filter is set properly and that WMI has been configured with internal (BaseURL) and
external (ExternalBaseURL values.
Also, make sure that if you have a build set to “Pending” that the corresponding
MAC address or serial number of the phone is listed on the Test Devices tab. You
check to begin the troubleshooting process.
5. Perform a Reboot— power cycle the Polycom CX700 phone to force it to
look for an update and leave it alone for five to ten minutes.
The phone should reset automatically and present the calibration screen
again.
You can monitor the IIS and ImageUpdate Audit log files for progress /
status.
There is a lag between when 1.0.522.101 is available and when the phone can
access it and the system logs the attempt. Be sure to allow for that (usually less
than 5 minutes.)
6. Calibrate the phone, but do not sign in.
7. Confirm the Polycom CX700 phone is running release 1.0.522.101 by
clicking About on the main menu and checking the Version information.
Click OK to return to the Sign in screen.
At this point Step 2 is confirmed and you can do one of two things:
•
Add any remaining Polycom CX700 phones still running release
1.0.199.123 as “Test Devices”, power cycle them and within five to ten
minutes they should pick up the pending 1.0.522.101 (only Polycom
CX700 phones listed on the Test Devices tab can receive Pending Updates)
OR
•
If no other production Polycom CX700 phones are on a build higher than
1.0.522.101, you can use Device Updater to approve the pending updates
and finish flashing the software on the remaining phones running build
1.0.199.123.
Once all Polycom CX700 phones are running release 1.0.522.101 and have been
recalibrated, go to the next section, Step 3 - Upgrade Polycom CX700 Phones

Upgrading Polycom CX700 Phone within a Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Environment
Step 3 - Upgrade Polycom CX700 Phones from 1.0.522.101 to 3.5.6907.35
This is the final step in the upgrade process and can be conducted on a one-off
basis or after all Polycom CX700 phones have been upgraded from release
1.0.522.101 to 3.5.6907.35. As in Step 2, you will want download the latest
software updates and use test devices to confirm the update works properly
before approving the build for product distribution.
Step 3.1 - Prepare Software Update Files
There are three basic steps to this process:
1. Download the UCUpdates files and uncompress them to CAB files
2. Upload the CAB files to the pool and uncompress them further to CPE
files
3. Approve the CPE files.
To prepare the software update files:
1. Download the Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS) 2007
3.5.6907.9 Polycom CX700 phone software release (UCUpdates.exe) here
and store it on a Pool Front End server (for example,
c:\UCUpdates\6907.9 ).
2. Open a CMD window, change to the directory where you downloaded
the 3.5.6907.9 version of UCUpdates and run the ucupdates.exe file.
Extract the CAB file to a directory (for example, use the same directory
that ucupdates.exe is in).
3. From the Pool Front End server, click Start, Administrative Tools, Office
Communications Server R2.
4. Right-click on the Pool and click Device Updater. Select Tools, Upload
.cab File.
5. Navigate to the directory where you extracted the CAB file (for example,
c:\UCUpdates\6907.9), click on UCUpdates and click Open.

6. Click the Pending Updates tab and ensure that 3.5.6907.9 is in the
“Pending” state. Do not change it at this time.
7. If using a different Polycom CX700 phone for testing release 3.5.6907.9,
click the Test Devices tab and add the Polycom CX700 phone to be
upgraded (no spaces / dashes in the MAC address); otherwise, use the
existing test device.
Step 3.2 - Upgrade the Polycom CX700 Phone from 1.0.522.101 to 3.5.6907.*
Now that the necessary CPE files have been installed and a test device created,
it is time to upgrade the Polycom CX700 phone (test device) to release
3.5.6907.9.
To upgrade the phone to release 3.5.6907.9:
1. If the Polycom CX700 phone has not reset after 10 minutes of inactivity or
you want to expedite the process, perform a reboot—power cycle the
phone and let it sit for five to ten minutes.
You can monitor the IIS and ImageUpdate Audit log files for progress /
status.
There is a lag between when 3.5.6907.9 is available and when the phone can
access it and the system logs the attempt. Be sure to allow for that (usually less
than 5 minutes.)
The phone will reset and go to the calibration screen.
If the Polycom CX700 phone is not picking up downloads, be sure the client version
filter is set properly and that WMI has been configured with internal (BaseURL) and
external (ExternalBaseURL values.
Also, make sure that if you have a build set to “Pending” that the corresponding
MAC address or serial number of the phone is listed on the Test Devices tab. You

When to Use DHCP Option 119
You need to use the DHCP option 119 when you deploy the Polycom CX700
phone to find a domain controller to talk to.
You can sign in to a the Polycom CX700 phone in two different ways:
•
•
Using NetBIOS style (<domain>\<user>)
Using User Principal Name (UPN) style (<user>@<domain>)
41
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Deployment Guide Polycom CX700
When you use NetBIOS style, the phone needs to use the <domain> name to
find a domain controller. If WINS is configured for use by the phone (via
DHCP), it will use that. However if WINS is not configured, and the phone is
on another subnet than the domain controller, it needs to use DNS to find it.
The way it looks for a domain controller is using the DC locator SRV records
in DNS (_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.<DNS domain>). When it looks up these
records, it uses domain information received using DHCP (option 15 and
option 119). Say we have the following situation:
•
•
•
•
The phone receives the DNS domain fabrikam.dk in DHCP option 15
(DomainName).
The phone receives the DNS domains fabrikam.dk and dk in DHCP
option 119 (DomainSearch).
The domain controller is located in fabrikam.dk and can be found by
locating the SRV record _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.fabrikam.dk .
The user signs in with Fabrikam\Jens .
The phone will try to locate the domain controller using this sequence:
•
•
_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.fabrikam—takes the NetBIOS name directly (fails)
_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.fabrikam.fabrikam.dk—adds the DomainName
value (fails)
•
•
_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.fabrikam.fabrikam.dk—adds first element in
DomainSearch (fails)
_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.fabrikam.dk—adds second element in
DomainSearch (succeeds)
So if dk was not added to DHCP option 119, the phone would have been
unable to locate a domain controller and, therefore, the user could not sign in
and the phone would have be unable to download certificates. You need to
configure the DNS Suffix list such that the device can construct the correct
DNS domain based on the NetBIOS name used.
An alternative approach is to instruct users to sign in using UPN style, for
DNS domain directly at sign in.
If you have configured the NetBIOS name to be completely different to the AD
DNS domain name, for example, NetBIOS fabrikam and AD DNS domain is
contoso.net, it is not possible to use the DNS Suffix list to create the mapping.
In such a scenario the best approach is to instruct the users to use UPN style
login. Alternatively use WINS.

Making the Root CA Certificate Available to a Polycom
CX700 Phone
Communication between the Polycom CX700 phone and Microsoft Office
Communications Server 2007 R2 is by default encrypted using TLS and SRTP.
Therefore, the device needs to trust certificates presented by Microsoft Office
Communications Server 2007 R2 servers. If the servers use public certificates,
they will most like be automatically trusted by the phone, since it contains the
same list of trusted certificate authorities (CAs) as Windows CE. However,
since most Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 deployments use
internal certificates for the internal Microsoft Office Communications Server
2007 R2 server roles, there is a need to install the Root CA certificate from the
internal CA to the phone. It is not possible to manually install the Root CA
certificate on the phone, so it needs to come via the network.
The Polycom CX700 phone is able to download the certificate using two
methods:
•
The device will search for AD objects of category certificationAuthority. If
the search returns any objects, it will use the attribute caCertificate. That
attribute is assumed to hold the certificate and the device will install the
certificate. To get the Root CA certificate placed in the caCertificate
attribute, use the command certutil -f -dspublish <Root CA certificate in
.cer file> RootCA. This command will publish the certificate as required by
Polycom CX700 phone.
•
If the search for AD objects of category certificationAuthority does not
return any or if the objects have empty caCertificate attributes, the phone
will search for AD objects of category pKIEnrollmentService in the
configuration naming context. Such objects exists if Certificate
AutoEnrollment has been enabled in Active Directory. If the search
returns any objects, it will use the dNSHostName attribute returned to
reference the CA and it will then use the Web interface of the Microsoft
Certificates Service to retrieve the Root CA certificate using the HTTP GET
command
l=-1&Enc=b64.
If neither of these methods succeeds, the error message “Cannot validate
server certificate” appears on the screen and the user will not be able to use the
phone.

Troubleshooting the Polycom CX700 Phone
Installing a Public Root CA Certificate on a Polycom CX700
Phone
The Public Certificate you are using on your Edge server(s) is not trusted by
the Polycom CX700 phone, because its corresponding Root CA certificate is
not installed on the phone per default.
You can use the certutil mechanism to install the Public Root CA certificate.
First, you download the certificate from the CA’s web site. Then you use the
certutil command to publish the certificate to your Active Directory. It will be
added as an object under CN=Certification Authorities, CN=Public Key
Services, CN=Services, CN=Configuration, DC=<domain>, DC=<tld>. You
can add multiple Root CA certificates using this method. The phone will
download all the certificates found.
After the public Root CA certificate is published, you will have to connect the
phone once to the internal network to get the certificate downloaded. Before
you do that you need to reset the phone to clear the certificate store, since you
need the device to ask for certificates (if you do not do this, the phone will use
the currently installed certificate when challenged by your internal Microsoft
Office Communications Server 2007 R2 servers and not search for them in
Active Directory). You reset the device by inserting a paper clip in the small
hole on the back between the USB and headset connectors. Then you can
connect the device to the Internet and it will connect to the Edge server.
