Dialpad is proud to support Polycom desk phones, both with and without Obi firmware.

The Poly Edge E family delivers a full-featured Dialpad experience at an affordable price.

Let's go over how to configure Edge E devices to set you up for success.

Firmware compatibility

Edge E devices use a UCS firmware — the current and tested Edge E Firmware is version 8.3.1.0164.

Note

Customers may use whichever firmware they want. Dialpad tests certain firmware to ensure compatibility, and we encourage customers to use our tested firmware.

Deskphone admin password

Company admins can access their organization’s deskphone password directly from the Company Settings. This admin password applies to all deskphones activated with Dialpad.

To access the deskphone admin password, navigate to Dialpad Admin Portal.

  1. Select My Company > Deskphone Settings
    Deskphone settings page showing password entry and reveal option for admin access.

  2. Navigate to Deskphone Admin Password

  3. Select the eye icon to see the password

Note

For unassigned Dialpad provisioned devices, use the default deskphone password: 3425723, which spells "Dialpad" on a phone keypad.
The deskphone admin password cannot be changed.

Provision to Dialpad

Now that your device has been reset, it's time to provision the device to Dialpad.  

First, use the phone’s navigation buttons to find the IP address.

  1. Press Home

  2. Press Menu

  3. Select Status

  4. Select Network

  5. Select TCP/IP Parameters

  6. Note the IPv4 address

In a web browser, enter the device's IP address: https://<phone_local_ip_address>

  1. Log in using the deskphone admin credentials

    Login screen for Poly Web Configuration Utility with fields for Admin and User access.

  2. Select Submit

Once logged in, select Settings.

  1. Select Provisioning Server

  2. Enter HTTPS in “Server Type”

  3. Enter https://prov.dialpad.com/ as the "Server Address"

    1. The trailing forward slash is required

  4. Reboot the phone

Your device will reboot several times, and then Dialpad Activate will display on the first line key.

Assign phone

To complete activation, you'll need to assign the device.

To assign the device, go to Your Settings.

  1. Select Your Devices

  2. Select Add New > Add a desk phone
    Settings page showing options to add devices and manage call handling features.

  3. Select See more options
    Options to add a desk phone with highlighted link for more choices.

  4. Select Poly Edge E Series

  5. Name the device, then select Next

  6. Save the 4-digit Activation code

  7. Pick up the receiver, and the phone will automatically dial out

  8. When prompted, enter the 4-digit activation code provided in the Dialpad portal

That’s it! The phone will restart and is now registered with Dialpad.

These instructions are for adding your own Poly Edge E device. If you're an Admin looking to add a Poly Edge E device to one of your users, please refer to this Help Center article for more details.

Frequently asked questions

My phone rebooted multiple times. Is this okay?

Yes. A successful result will see the phone reboot several times, possibly update firmware, and then display Dialpad Activate on line 1 in the top left of the screen.

How long does provisioning take?

If a firmware change is required, it can take 8-10 minutes to complete; otherwise, normal provisioning can be done in roughly 2-3 minutes.
