Polycom periodically updates the shipping configurations of the SoundPoint IP, SoundStation IP, Polycom Trio, VVX business media or CCX phones.

 

The Polycom® Engineering Advisories and Technical Notifications page => here <= lists the Product Shipping Configuration Change Notice.

  

Why does Polycom not ship the devices with the latest Software?

As with all Polycom IP phone products, End customers should refer to their Polycom VoIP-certified channel partner for technical support and product assistance.
