Configuration Overview
The following steps are required to configure the Polycom SoundStation IP 4000, 5000, 6000, and
7000 conference phones to work with the ShoreTel system.
ShoreTel Configuration
This section describes the ShoreTel system configuration to support the Polycom SoundStation IP
phones. The section is divided into general system settings and individual user configurations needed to
support the SoundStation IP phones.
ShoreTel System Settings - General
The first settings to address within the ShoreTel system are the general system settings. These
configurations include the call control, the switch, and the site settings. If these items have already been
configured on the system, skip this section and go on to the “ShoreTel System Settings – Individual
Users” section below.

-9-
Call Control Settings
The Call Control Options within ShoreWare® Director may need to be reconfigured. To configure
these settings for the ShoreTel system, log into ShoreWare Director and select Administration, Call
Control, and then Options (Figure 2).
Figure 2 – Administration Call Control/Options
The “Call Control/Options” screen will then appear (Figure 3).

- 10 -
Figure 3 – Call Control/Options Screen
If this is an upgrade from previous ShoreTel versions, you may see a parameter named
“Always Use Port 5004 for RTP.” If so, you will need to disable this parameter by unchecking the box and saving the setting. When enabled, SIP extension configuration will fail.
It is also important to note that this “one time” setting requires a system restart (all servers first,
then ShoreGear switches followed by IP Phones) to take effect. Once the server has been
restarted, this configuration parameter will no longer be visible, or may be grayed out. The
default for new installations is disabled, thus the parameter is not visible (as shown in Figure
3).
Realm: The realm is used in authenticating all SIP devices. It is typically a description of the
computer or system being accessed. Changing this value will require reboot of switches
serving as SIP extensions. It is not necessary to modify this parameter to get the Polycom
solution functional.
SIP session interval: Session interval value indicates the session (call) “keep alive” period.
There is no need to modify the default value of 3600 seconds.
SIP session refresher: The refresher setting decides if user agent client or user agent server
refreshes the session. Again, there is no need to modify the default value of “Caller (UAC).”
This allows Polycom to be in control of the session timer refresh.
Switch Settings
When allocating Ports for SIP extensions, these changes are modified by selecting “Administration,”
then “Switches” in ShoreWare Director (Figure 4).

Figure 4 – Administration/Switches
This action brings up the “Switches” screen. From the “Switches” screen, simply select the name of the
switch to configure. The “Edit ShoreGear …Switch” screen will be displayed. Within the “Edit
ShoreGear …Switch” screen, define one of the “Port Type” settings from the available ports to “100
SIP Proxy” (Figure 5), then save the change.
Note: If your installation requires more than 100 SIP extensions, configure the “Port Type” as
“100 SIP Proxy” as necessary (i.e. two ports configured for “100 SIP Proxy” will provide 200 SIP
extensions).

Figure 5 – Edit Switches
If the ShoreGear switch that you have selected has “built-in” capacity (i.e., ShoreGear 50/90/220T1/E1,
etc.) for IP phones and SIP trunks, you can also remove 5 ports from the total number available to
provide the “100 SIP Proxy” configuration necessary (Figure 6).
Note: Every 5 ports you remove from the total available will result in “100 SIP Proxy” ports
being made available.
One dedicated ShoreGear 120 switch can act as a proxy for the entire site and support up to 2400 SIP
phones.

Figure 6 – ShoreGear Switch Built-in Capacity
Site Settings
The next settings to address are the administration of sites. These settings are modified under the
ShoreWare Director by selecting “Administration” then “Sites” (Figure 7).
Figure 7 – Administration/Sites

- 14 -
This selection brings up the “Sites” screen. Within the “Sites” screen, select the name of the site to
configure. The “Edit Site” screen will then appear. Scroll down to the “SIP Proxy” parameters (Figure
8).
Figure 8 – Site Screen SIP Proxies
The “Virtual IP Address” parameter is a new configuration parameter with ShoreTel 8. This “Virtual IP
Address” is an IP address that can be moved to a different switch during a failure. For each site that
supports SIP extensions, one “Virtual IP Address” is defined that will act as the SIP Proxy for the site.
This IP address must be unique and static.
The ShoreTel server will assign this “Virtual IP Address” to the ShoreGear that is configured as SIP
proxy for the site. Two ShoreGear switches can be configured as SIP proxy servers for redundancy and
reliability purposes. If the primary proxy server goes down, the other proxy switch will take over the
“Virtual IP Address.” Due to this “Virtual IP Address” mechanism, SIP phones will not know if the
proxy switch goes off-line.
Note: If you choose not to define a “Virtual IP Address,” you can only define one proxy switch, and
there will be no redundancy or failover capabilities. The switches available in the “Proxy Switch 1 / 2”
will only be shown if proxy resources have been enabled on the switch.

- 15 -
The Admission Control Bandwidth defines the bandwidth available to and from the site. This is
important as SIP endpoints may be counted against the site bandwidth. See the ShoreTel Planning and
Installation Guide for more information about this.
ShoreTel 8 now adds 10 CODECs by default. These CODECs can be grouped as “Codec Lists” and
defined in the sites page for “Inter-site” and “Intra-site” calls. See the ShoreTel 8 Server Release Notes
for more information. The default settings will work properly with Comdasys.
Creating SIP Extension
You need to create a user extension for a handset on Comdasys. This is accomplished from ShoreWare
Director by selecting “Administration” followed by “Users…,” then “Individual Users.” This action
will bring up the “Individual Users” screen at the top of the page. To the right of “Add new user at
site:,” select the site you wish to create the user in (from the drop down menu), and select “Go” (Figure
9).
Figure 9 – Trunk Groups Settings
This action brings up the “Users” “Edit Users” screen (Figure 10).

- 16 -
Figure 10 – Adding/Editing Users
Define the “First Name” and “Last Name” as you deem appropriate. ShoreWare Director will auto-assign the next
available “Number” (i.e., extension), but you can modify it to any available extension. Define the “License Type”
as needed; in this example we chose “Extension and Mailbox” although it’s not necessary to have a mailbox.
Define the proper “User Group” and set the “Home Port” to “Any IP Phone.”
Note: If you configured the “License Type” for “Extension-Only,” you cannot select “Any IP Phone”
but instead must set the “Home Port” for the “SoftSwitch” selection. Save your changes, then scroll down to
the “SIP Password:” section (Figure 11).
Figure 11 – Individual User SIP Settings
There is no default “SIP Password”: it is masked with the appearance that there is, but don’t be confused to think
that there’s a default password. You can modify it to any value you wish, but be certain to note what you changed it
to, as you will need it when configuring the SoundStation parameters. Save your changes.
SIP Profiles
ShoreWare Director’s “Call Control…” section contains an “SIP Profiles” option. ShoreTel 8 comes standard with
a “_System” and “_ShorePhoneIP8000” SIP profiles (they cannot be deleted - only disabled). By default, the
SoundStation system utilizes the “_System” profile. In order to optimize the functionality, you will need to add a
custom profile. This is accomplished from ShoreWare Director by selecting “Administration” followed by
“Call Control…,” then “SIP Profiles.” This action brings up the “SIP Profiles” screen. At the top of the
page below the “SIP Profiles List”, select the “New…” radio button, as shown in Figure 12.

Figure 13 – Edit SIP Profile
Define a “Name:” for the entry, and be sure to define an appropriate name. For the “User Agent:” option,
enter “ComdasysB2BUA” (without quotes); the “Priority:” defaults to 100, no change is required. Enable the
profile by checking (enabling) the “Enable” option. In the “Custom Parameters:” options, add the following
entries:
MWI=notify
FakeDeclineAsRedirect=1
Save the changes.
Note: Please do not disable any of the default SIP profiles. In case there are issues with the custom profile
defined, disabling the system profiles may cause the Polycom SoundStation phones to not be added to the ShoreTel
system. Refer to the ShoreTel 8 Server Release Notes for more information.
This completes all of the ShoreTel configuration parameters necessary to install the Polycom SoundStation.
