    2. Verify you have assigned the phone's MAC address to the device profile.
    3. Verify you have properly plugged in the phone.

    From the Web UI

    Learn how to provision your phone from the web UI.

    These are the instructions to provision the base for this handset, the Poly Rove B2.
    1. Press OK on the handset to access Settings > Info and then write down the phone's IP Address.
    2. Open an incognito window in Google Chrome, enter the IP address in the address (URL) bar and then press enter on your keyboard. If the web UI doesn't load, enter https:// before the phone’s IP address.
    3. Enter admin as your Device Admin Username.
    4. Enter your Device Admin Password.
      Tip:
      • To find your password, log in at https://my.jive.com/pbx and then click Security in the left sidebar.
      • The password may also be the default password, admin.
    5. Go to System Management > Auto Provisioning > ITSP Provisioning.
    6. Remove the default checkmarks for Method, ProvisioningOption, and UCSServer.
    7. Enter the following settings:
      Option Description
      Parameter Name: Value:
      Method Select System Start from the drop-down menu.
      Note: This will change to Time Of Day after initial provisioning, which is expected.
      ProvisioningOption Select UCSServer from the drop-down menu.
      UCSServer Enter http://rtcprov.net/~<domain> or http://<domain>.onjive.com/p
      Note: Replace ‹domain› with your unique domain. PBX Administration (classic) users will find their domain in the parentheses at the top of their portal dashboard. portal users will find their domain in Account Settings.
    8. Click Submit > Ok/Yes.

      Result: You will see a message that says that the configuration will take effect shortly.

    9. Click Reboot in the top right corner. You can also select Force Reboot which will end any active calls.

      Result: The phone will automatically update its configuration and reboot (possibly more than once). A new firmware file may be downloaded during the upgrade process for your base station.

      Troubleshooting: Depending on the firmware your device was previously on, it is possible that the provisioning url will be erased by the device after upgrading. Once the base station has finished the reboot, verify that UCSServer maintained it's value before closing the browser window. You may see ;$DHCPOPT66 after the URL (which is fine). If the URL was erased, you will need to repeat steps 6-9.

    What to do next: If the phone doesn’t automatically reboot, power cycle the device to apply its provisioning settings.

    Factory Reset

    Factory resetting a phone is when you restore a device to its original factory settings. This will delete everything that was previously on the device.

    1. Press the Menu button.
    2. Select Settings > Advanced.
    3. Enter 8647 for the password. If this does not work, try 456 or contact Customer Support for assistance.
    4. Select Administrative Settings > Reset to Defaults > Reset to Factory > Yes.

      Result: The phone will automatically reboot.
