We've made an update to our Polycom Boot Server (firmware version 3.1.3 to version 3.1.4) that fixes a security issue on 'legacy' Polycom models. In the past, the web interface for some of the older models displayed SIP passwords in plaintext instead of masking them. While this is a seemingly minor issue, we can't stress enough that every little bit counts when it comes to securing your SIP account credentials.

Affected models include the Soundpoint 301 / 501 / 601, and the Soundstation 4000.

Simply reboot your phone if you're using one of these phones and the changes will automatically take effect. Thank you for helping us safeguard your phone system.
