This is not really a VICIdial issue, it's a Polycom config issue.

Have you ever configured a Polycom before?
Do you have a FTP server set up for it tow download it's config files from?
Did the company you bought the Polycom from send you any instructions for the firmware version that was installed on the phone you bought?

We don't do skype.

As for your Polycom, it's looking for a boot server, which is defined in the phone's settings. Whoever sold you your Polycom phones should have supplied you with the configuration documentation and steps to go through to set up an FTP account to serve the config files and firmware that your phones need.
