HP Poly Edge E320: eight keys, Bluetooth and PVOS evidence

Keep eight physical keys, 32 paginated assignments and Bluetooth separate from absent Wi-Fi, wired network service and installed PVOS state.

Resolve the E320 radio boundary precisely

The E320 adds Bluetooth 5.0 and NFC but not Wi-Fi. Record the exact label, product number, region, MAC address, installed PVOS and effective radio state. Firmware does not turn Bluetooth into a Wi-Fi interface.

Family-level statements about available model choices are not exact-model evidence.

Separate eight buttons from 32 assignments

The eight physical keys can expose 32 configurable positions across four pages. Preserve page, key, category, value, label, configuration source and observed lamp or line state.

A position can represent a line, BLF, favorite or feature; it is not another registration or proof of simultaneous-call capacity.

Keep Bluetooth apart from wired network service

Bluetooth can pair an approved headset or mobile device, while the E320 still uses its Ethernet path for provisioning and SIP service. Verify power, LAN cabling, link, VLAN, address, DNS, time, configuration fetch and registration separately.

A paired icon does not prove network reachability, headset call control or two-way audio.

Qualify the actual accessory workflow

Record the accessory model, pairing owner, connection state, selected audio route, answer, mute, volume, hang-up, range and recovery after restart. If NFC is used for Android pairing, verify the intended pairing without treating NFC as Wi-Fi or a SIP credential.

USB-C, RJ9 and electronic hook-switch alternatives need their own cable, adapter and control evidence.

Stage PVOS changes with an approved path

HP lists PVOS 8.6.1 released August 2026. Preserve current and target builds, authoritative provider or administrator, artifact identity, backup, certificates, pilot and rollback.

After change, prove effective build, configuration, Bluetooth state, keys, registration and calls independently.

Pilot the E320 desk and Bluetooth path

Test every required key page, Ethernet recovery, provisioning, registration renewal, the approved wired or Bluetooth headset, mobile-call behavior where authorized, transfer, DTMF, two-way media, restart persistence and the emergency workflow.

No E320 phone, radio, accessory, firmware, registration, call or emergency workflow was tested for this reference.
