asterisk users - Dec 2006 - Polycom MyStat

Has anyone ever gotten the Polycom Status feature, accessible via the
'MyStat' soft-key to work? When you change the status in this way, the
phone does not send any communication to Asterisk, and it seems to have no
effect in incoming calls. So... what's it for?

I think that is strictly a Polycom to Polycom thing (Buddywatch).  I do not
believe it affects Asterisk (i.e. Busy = DND).  With that being said, I
don't think it works very well even with all Polycom phones.  I can change
my status to Busy and look at the other Polycom Phones and they still show
me as Online.  (Yes, I have bw set to 1.)

It still has to go through the upstream pbx/proxy. Each phone doesn't know
the location, ie ip address, of the other phones. When the state changes, it
should send an updated SIP subscription to Asterisk.

It works somewhat with sipX.

DND is different. When Asterisk sends an INVITE to a phone with DND set, the
phone responds to the invite with a 'Busy'... or it could be
'Declined'.... something like that.

Does that mean that DND doesn't show up as a hint either?
