asterisk users - Feb 2005 - why does the Polycom IP600 check FTP every 60 seconds...

Hi,

I am mostly happy with my Polycom IP600 but it apparently needs to check
the FTP server every minute. I couldn't find any obvious setting related
to that behavior in the configuration files.

Any idea how to curb the IP600's spurious network activity?

Thanks,

It could quite possibly be related to the log files the polycom uploads
to the FTP server. I found this quite a pain, so disabled all the
logging in the config files.

If that isn't it, then you will need to find out *what* activity the
polycom is doing, hint tcpdump -tn -A -s 16384 port 21 might help or
else see your ftp server log files.

Regards,
Adam

Related to that, the 1.4.1 firmware now gives you the ability to control 
how often the phone will connect to FTP to check its config files, so 
you can manage that as well.
