I've installed the following chain of Polycom CAs in SipX (not via GUI though) 
downloaded from http://pki.polycom.com/pki/

Polycom Root CA.crt
Polycom Equipment Policy CA.crt
Polycom Equipment Issuing CA 1.crt

Maybe I shall install the last one as well, the "Polycom Issuing CA 2". I've 
also, as mentioned, installed the SipX self-signed CA onto the Polycom phone 
using the info in the SipX Wiki. The Wiki does not describe the procedure of 
installing the Polycom Root CA in order to use TLS. It only talks about getting 
the SipX CA cert onto the Polycom phone. What is required? Do we really use 
mutual TLS authentication, or only server based authentication (client 
authenticates server by installing the CA cert of SipX)? 

Is anyone running SIP over TLS for Polycom phones?
