I’ve never found polycoms hard to debug or configure, you just need to set up a proper boot server for them... Once you do that, the configs are straight forward, and it’ll actually logs back to that server...
Compared to other brands Polycom sure could make it easier to configure their phones. The zillion (sub-sub-sub-sub-)xml options, (afaik) lack of a good xml editor that can handle the Polycom xml files on Linux and a 500 page admin guide don't really scream easy. The bootserver is easy, IMHO an advanced configuration with a lot of features not so much. Perhaps it's an idea to do a few "How to become a Polycom config master" sessions during the weekly conf call with video showing the steps to configure a Polycom phone with basic, advanced and very advanced configs?
