Polycom Tri 8800 Reset to default

[davemac2626]

Hi guys

How do you factory reset a Polycom Tri 8800?  Obviously there are no keys to hold the old way using key combos and if a phone is stuck in a boot loop how do you recover from this?

The menu doesn't show so you cant access anything.....

Cheers

Dave

Hello Dave,

reboot the Trio and once the Polycom logo appears press all 4 corners of the screen.

Wait until the Mute LED flashes and then let go and the unit will factory restore.

I have a TRIO 8800 with a MAC of 00:04:F2:FC:33:8C and currently running 5.4.0.12541.  I tried upgrading to something more current softwarewise but on each of 3 attempts when I do change it the system goes into a loop and continuosly reboots.  As soon as I reset it to this software version it is fine.  Is there any documentation that spcifies what might work or not on this older version of the TRIO?

Hello @DXPTom,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

Both the community's Must Read First and the community's FAQ reference the basic minimum information a new or follow up post should contain.

This ensures the questions having to be asked are limited and any new or follow up post contains the right amount of details to ensure any voluntary participant within the community does not spend additional time chasing basic information.

As a reminder the basic information asked for:

• Provide the exact Software Version of your Phone
• Provide the Phone Model
• Provide the Call Platform (aka openSIP, Skype for Business, Lync)
• If applicable provide a backup of the phone in question

UC Software 4.0.0 or later via the Web Interface Utilities > Phone Backup & Restore > Phone Backup > Phone Backup

• If possible provide a Log and either attach them or use the Code Tag.Consult the Troubleshooting Section found within the FAQ if applicable
• If possible provide the MAC Address or Serial of the device
• Provide details if the issue is a day 1 issue or only happened after an upgrade or any other relevant details

Whilst providing the answers to some of the above may not directly impact any possible answer the community can provide, it does enable Polycom to have an overview of the current software used and other details and allows us to look up a potential support partners if an issue needs to come into support.

Explaining for example what type of provisioning you use may enable us to ask for specific logs. This could help the specialists in this forum trying to identify what the problem is. You also did not specify which versions you tried resulting in the reboot loop.

I could not find the MAC address of this unit either so it may be a Beta unit.
