Poly Edge E350 settings

This reference describes all the settings associated with the Poly Edge E350 phone.

For information on creating the actual phone configuration in Genesys Cloud, see Create the base settings and Create a phone.

Base settings

Before you create a phone, create a Base Settings configuration for that phone model. The Base Settings configuration contains a group of settings that define how a particular phone model operates in Genesys Cloud. After you create a Base Settings configuration, assign it to a phone with the default settings or customize the settings. This section describes the settings that you can configure when you choose to customize a Base Settings configuration.

Network

Setting	Description
Provisioning
Provision Source	Use the Provision Source list to select the source that the phone uses to obtain the provision configuration data. From the Genesys Cloud provisioning service - Configure the phone to obtain provision configuration data from the Genesys Cloud provisioning service. From Edges within the Site - Configure the phone to obtain provision configuration data from an Edge on your site.

For more information, see Working with Configuration Files in the Poly Documentation Library. Note: Attributes defined in the custom configuration file cannot be used to override attributes previously defined by the standard configuration file.
Custom Directory	Specify a corporate directory file containing contact information for people in your company. For more information, go to the Poly Documentation Library and search for Corporate directory.
