Polycom has today announced their latest release of the SoundPoint IP SIP application.  The following are the important changes and notes:

• This release has significant enhancements to the Corporate Directory (LDAP) feature including User Interface changes. See updated Technical Bulletin TB 41137 for details. Administrator’s are encouraged to review the new UI prior to deploying the software to avoid possible user issues due to the changes.
• The distribution method for the releases has been changed starting with this release due to the size of the release files. See section 1.4 of the Release Notes for details.
• This release includes GA level support for SoundStation IP 7000 integration with Polycom HDX video systems. This feature requires that the SoundStation IP 7000 is running BootROM 4.1.2 or newer software. There are some dependencies on the software version running on the HDX system and the deployment scenario.
• SoundPoint IP 550, 560, 650 and 670 products require BootROM 4.1.0 or newer in order to load this software.
• Improved XML checking of Configuration Files has been included in this release. If XML errors are detected a message will be inserted in the log files for the phone. System Administrators are encouraged to examine phone log files for these types of errors and correct the configuration files. This check is intended to assist in reducing the number of field issues resulting from improper configuration files. A simple check of phone configuration files prior to deployment can be done by opening configuration files using an XML editor.
