The update behavior of the VVX phones is very similar to that of Lync Phone Edition, yet is even more flexible. Now that the 5.0.1 maintenance release is available then this and all future releases can be handled natively by the Lync server. This is the same functionality which Lync Phone Edition devices have always used for firmware updates and now eliminates the need for a separate provisioning server in most Lync environments leveraging VVX Phones.Īlthough the 5.0.0 release added the ability to leverage the Device Update service it was not yet possible to actually leverage the feature until a new update was published. With the recent release of UCS 5.0 for Polycom VVX Phones automatic firmware updates are now supported directly from the Lync Device Update service.
