Release Notes - BootROM 4.3.1

1 General
1.1 Software Revision
These release notes cover Polycom‟s SoundPoint/SoundStation IP - BootROM
version 4.3.1.

1.2 Important Notes









The BootROM for the VVX 1500 is not included in this release. For SIP
3.2.2 and future releases, the BootROM (for the VVX product) will be
distributed as part of the SIP software image as there is a tight
dependency between them. Products other than the VVX 1500 will
continue to be supported with a separate BootROM image. Refer to
technical bulletin TB 53522 for upgrade instructions.
BootROM 4.3.0 does not include support for the SoundPoint IP 430.
BootROM 4.2.0 does not include support for the following phone models:
SoundPoint IP 300, 301, 500, 501, 600, 601 and SoundStation IP 4000.
These are termed „Legacy‟ phone models. If you have these phones
installed in your network the following options can be used if you wish to
upgrade the BootROM to 4.2.0
 Continue to host an older version of the „split‟ BootROM for these
phones e.g. you could place bootrom file 2345-11300-001bootrom1.ld from the BootROM Release 4.1.3 on your provisioning
server while updating/replacing the files for other phone models.
This step can be achieved by unzipping the BootROM 4.2.0
distribution file into the same directory as an earlier BootROM had
been placed and replacing the files for the current phone models.
 If an applicable „split‟ image for the Legacy phone models is not
found the phone will still boot, but the boot time will be increased
due to the time taken for the phone to search the bootrom.ld file for
an applicable image.
This BootROM version is not compatible with the MGCP application and
must not be used on phones running MGCP.
When the BootROM is changed on the phone the Flash File System is reformatted. To ensure that user settings such as contacts are preserved
across the upgrade, a provisioning server must be used for the phone to
store back-up copies of the local settings and contact directory
information.
The Zero Touch provisioning (ZTP) feature introduced in the current
release 4.3.1 is “UNSUPPORTED” unless the phones are running both
BootROM/Updater version 4.3.1 and UC Software version 3.3.2

Release Notes - BootROM 4.3.1

1.3 Document Revision
These release notes may be updated during the life of this release as any issues
are reported. This document was last updated September 14, 2011.

1.4 Hardware Support
This release is compatible with the following Polycom products:
 SoundPoint IP 320
 SoundPoint IP 321
 SoundPoint IP 330
 SoundPoint IP 331
 SoundPoint IP 335
 SoundPoint IP 450
 SoundPoint IP 550
 SoundPoint IP 560
 SoundPoint IP 650
 SoundPoint IP 670
 SoundStation IP 5000
 SoundStation IP 6000
 SoundStation IP 7000
 VVX 1500 (BootROM is distributed as part of the SIP 3.2.2 and later
releases)

1.5 Image Signatures
Cryptographic signatures are added to all downloaded image files as a security
feature. BootROMs 3.0.0 and later require that an image has a valid signature to
prevent malicious code from being used. Since no prior BootROMs have this
signature it is not possible to downgrade the BootROM below 3.0.0. Similarly it
will not be possible to run older applications. Care should be taken when
deciding to upgrade to later BootROMs.

1.6 Distribution Files

SoundPoint IP/SoundStation IP/VVX BootROM software. For centrally
provisioned systems, copy these files to the boot server in order to upgrade the
BootROM software on the phone.
