Off Hook Dialing Configuration

[TommyMac24]

Trying to setup OFF HOOK dialing for a door phone. AKA - hot line phone. It's a Poly VVX 150 telephone. Need it to ring to an auto attendant upon going off hook.

I located a configuration file for an older model of Poly, but this series does not like the one I found.

Has anyone configured this before with a VVX Poly? Is there a way to configure this in Zoom?

hi tommymac24,

please see zoom support article on how to use desk phone templates.

Configuring desk phone provision templates (zoom.com)

How to create a provision template

Sign in to the Zoom web portal.

In the navigation panel, click Phone System Management then Company Info.

Click Account Settings.

In the Desk Phone section, click Manage under Provision Template.

Click Add.

Enter the following:

Name: Enter a display name to identify the template. Include the manufacturer's name since each template can only apply to one manufacturer.

Description (optional): Enter a description to help you identify the template.

Template: Enter key-value pairs supported by the manufacturer. For more details, see parameter examples and supported parameters.

For autoOffHook, use

In this example, when I pick up line 1 of my poly edge e100, it automatically dials extension 6700.

How to assign a provision template to a provisioned desk phone

Sign in to the Zoom web portal.

In the navigation menu, click Phone System Management then Phones & Devices.

Find the desk phone you want to assign a template to.

Note: You can only assign one provision template to each desk phone. If there's already a template assigned, click Unbind Provision Template to remove the template from the desk phone, or you can change the assigned provision template.

In the Target Template drop-down menu, select the template to assign, then click Bind.

Re-sync the desk phone to finish assigning the provision template.
