phones to display certain information in the idle display and Microbrowser,
such as stock ticker and news or weather feeds.
This chapter provides an overview of the sample applications available on the
SoundPoint IP 330/320, 430, 501, 550, 600, 601, and 650 desktop phones and

of the sample applications that run on the phone’s idle display or
Microbrowser.
If you are a system administrator:
•Refer to Configuring Sample Applications— Administrator Tasks on page
2-1 for instructions on how to configure the SoundPoint IP and
SoundStation IP phones in your organization to run the sample
applications.
•For more information on the Microbrowser itself, refer to the Web
Application Developer’s Guide for the SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP Family
at http://www.polycom.com/support/voicedocumentation/.
If you are a user:
•Refer to Customizing Sample Applications— User Tasks on page 3-1 for

Installing Sample Applications
The sample applications are bundled together in one executable. The
executable must run as a web server on a Microsoft®Windows®compatible
computer.
To install, run, and access the sample application executable:
1. Download the setup.exe file.
The executable is available from the Polycom Resource Center at
http://extranet.polycom.com/csnprod/signon.html .
2. Install the executable into the desired location.
3. Once the executable is installed, select Start > Programs > Polycom >
Sample Application Server > Start Server .
To stop the executable, select Start > Programs > Polycom > Sample
Application Server > Shutdown Server .
4. To access the sample application configuration utility, select Start >
Programs > Polycom > Sample Application Server > IT Manager Home
Page .
The following login screen will appear.
Adding and Deleting Users
After you configure the sample applications, determine which users will have
access to those applications by adding a user name and password for each
user.
Note If you have installed the sample applications executable before, you must uninstall
it and delete the installed directory from the computer before reinstalling it.

You can also delete users at later time if you decide that you do not want them
to have access to the sample applications.

box is indicated.
You must notify users of their user name and password before they can access
the sample application screens and features on the SoundPoint IP phones.

Configuring Your User’s Phone
To run the sample applications on the phone’s idle display or Microbrowser,
the phone’s main browser and idle display must point to the sample
applications login page URL and idle page URL respectively. Users will then
connect to your application when they press the Application key (or select the
Application feature item) on their phones.
To allow an application to be run from the Microbrowser:
1. Open a new configuration file in an XML editor.
2. Add the Microbrowser <mb> parameter.
3. Set
mb.idleDisplay.home to the URL used for Microbrowser idle
display home page.
For example,
mb.idleDisplay.home=http://<your computer’s IP
address>/sampleapps/idle
4. Set mb.main.home to the URL used for Microbrowser home page.
For example,
mb.main.home=http://<your computer’s IP
address>/sampleapps/login
5. Save your changes and close the XML editor.
6. Add the new files to the master configuration file’s CONFIG_FILES list in
the appropriate order.
Since the files are processed left to right, any parameter which appears in
first file will override the same parameter in later files.
For more information on changes to the SIP configuration files, refer to the
Administrator’s Guide for the SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP Family at
http://www.polycom.com/support/voicedocumentation/.
