Release SIP 3.1.7

This release is a SIP patch release applicable Legacy phone models that 
are not supported in the SIP 3.2.x and newer releases. 
It includes enhancements to high priority issues identified in the field.

WARNINGS:  

1. Since this release is specific to legacy phone models, it is 
   necessary to follow the directions detailed in Technical Bulletin 
   35311 when deploying this release in installations that have a mix 
   of Legacy and other models.
   This Technical Bulletin is available from the Support site 
   www.polycom.com/support/voip by searching the SoundPoint IP 
   Knowledge Base for 35311.


This Release supports the following products:
	SoundPoint IP 301
	SoundPoint IP 501
	SoundPoint IP 600, 601
	SoundStation IP 4000

For build-id information, refer to the sip_317.ver file included in the 
release zip file. For details on changes in this build, refer to the 
relevant Release Notes.

Recommended Upgrade Process:
	1. Unzip the contents of the release zip file.

	2. Place the <MODEL-NUMBER>-sip_317.ld and/or sip_317.ld files 
         into the appropriate location on the provisioning server.

	3. Update your configuration files to use the template files 
         contained in the release zip file. In particular ensure 
	   that you use the sip_317.cfg and phone1_317.cfg files as 
         there may be changes that are required for proper phone 
         operation. Refer to the documentation from your 
         IP-PBX/softswitch provider and/or follow the recommended 
         practices in the reference documents listed below.

	4. If you are using SoundPoint IP 300 or 500 devices deploy copies 
         of the SIP 2.1.2 or 2.1.3 release and configuration 
	   files named appropriately (See Technical Bulletin 35311 for 
         details).

	5. Place the dictionary files into the appropriate location on the 
         provisioning server.

	6. On the next phone reboot, the phones will automatically detect 
         the new software and load it. In this case, the reboot will 
         take longer than usual.

	7. Confirm that the phone has loaded the correct software:
		a) If you have physical access to the phone, select 
               Menu->Status->Platform->Application->Main and confirm 
		   that the Version number matches that detailed in the 
               Release Notes and in the sip.ver file.
		b) If the phones are being remotely upgraded, the version 
               identifier may be verified by examining the phone 
		   application log file.
