Can anyone explain the Polycom Text Messaging features built in to the IP 500/600? Can Asterisk (or something else) talk to it? I've seen vague references to MSN Messenger, and somehow that's mentally disturbing.

Ever since I upgraded my Polycom 500 to the newest sip.ld (kept the old bootrom), when I dial things like "*98" for voicemail, the screen shows "9*8" and doesn't dial my voicemail system! Is this user error, or errors in the new firmware? Chris Coulthurst chris@shuksan.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Does someone have a link to step-by-step instructions to making the Line-In on the console sound card a MOH source? I know this has to work somehow.

Does anyone have a quick-n-dirty context to implement *66 automatic callbacks? I have a few people who like to have no call waiting on their phone (can you really blame them?) It would be nice to have something like *66, and also like 'Camp On', but instead of waiting something like 30 seconds, monitor the channel until it becomes available, then immediately ring back your phone to

Does anyone have success in upgrading Aastra/Sayson 480i CT firmware? All I get, no matter what I've tried is "Unable to upgrade firmware". tftpd is working because the dialplan freshens, and I have aastra.cfg whatevermacaddressfile.cfg and firmware.st in /tftpboot Am I missing something stupid? Is there another way to upgrade it? Chris Coulthurst chris@shuksan.com

Is there a way to make an outside call hear "The person at phone number XXXX is unavail", but when an internal extension calls another extension, they hear "The person at extension number XXXX is unavail"? I swear I've read this somewhere before but I'm not typing in the right search. I probably found it before by complete accident. Of course, we want the outside

Does anyone know how to change the display format of caller id on the screen of a polycom 300/500/600? When I call FROM my 'shop phone 203' TO my 'office phone 201', a Polycom 500, it only says 'Shop' as the calling party. More specifically, the two lines look like this: Incoming call from: Shop I'm looking for a way to make it use both lines for caller id,

If you activate (via sip.cfg) the feature Group Call Pickup, its no surprise that asterisk doesn't know what to do with this feature request. But it is being sent as a SIP SUBSCRIBE request, and I'm wondering if, as asterisk stands, there is a way to take advantage of this feature to emulate the "*8#" normal behavior. If anyone has any input, there is also a call parking

Being one the many people trying to track down echo 'ghosts' I ran across this page: http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2004-November/071301.html suggesting ways to adjust the gain. I have a TDM400P 2x2 config with Kewlstart lines configured. I've located a local telco milliwatt test line, and when I call it, the gain numbers are no where near 14844. Now, this

I have 3 analog trunks zap/1, zap/4 and zap/5. zap/5 is the least used line. Would the following work for 911 calls?

I swear I read somewhere on one of the MANY pages that there is a script out there that can read the extensions.conf file and create the MySQL DB records on the fly. Anyone know where I look for such a thing? Sure speeds up migration! Chris Coulthurst chris@shuksan.com

Lately when I issue a 'reload' from the CLI, I find that it will sometimes hang forever, completely locked up. I can press enter and see the CLI prompt move, but no commands are taken.

I have a Polycom 500 and would love one of the line-appearance keys to show me if a certain person/people are on the phone upstairs. This 'hint' priority seems to have little-to-no documentation. So, if anyone out there has a clue about this, here are a couple of questions: Can you 'hint' Zap and IAX2 extensions? Can you concatenate extensions together? (i.e. exten =>

I had CC readers going over the internet (with pings over 80ms) connected to Linksys PAP2. It was only successful once every 3 attempts. I had 100% reliability when it was connected on LAN. Timing is an issue, if you doing everything on LAN it should not be a problem. Just make sure you use G.711 protocol. > -----Original Message----- > From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com

I really hate to have to make a post like this, but I feel I have little choice but to relay to the group my experience with Teliax, and explain why I recommend against using them as a primary Voip-> PSTN provider. I hope that a letter like this will inspire companies like Teliax to work harder at customer service, as well as circuit stability. We need more companies that offer the types of

I'm having a problem with the callerID that the polycom IP600 phones are displaying. I would like to modify the CIDName and leave CIDNumber as exactly what the phone call came in as(provided they aren't hiding callerID). Most of the calls will be going to the queue, but a few will go directly to the SIP phones. I've done a various combinations of using SetCallerID(),

Hi, I have lookedaround and don't see this anywhere. Is there a way to tell the ip500 to not make the aural MWI blips?
