I always use FTP instead, it works famously. Make sure you configure the 
ftp server in DHCP or in the ftp servers settings, as an IP of course, 
and that you change the ftp password to the password for the user 
PlcmSpIp on the server.

After that it's flawless.

Polycom, the company, does not support the use of the phones with 
Asterisk. Who cares? SIP is a standard, we don't need any help from them 
and we don't need their blessing. The phones are excellent quality and 
work very well with Asterisk, there's no support issue.
