asterisk users - Oct 2005 - Polycom: Button Remapping, HELP!

I need to find a way to have the Polycom phones automatically park 
calls.  Right now my users hit #70# (I know the last # is optional but 
it speeds it up.) to park a call.  Personally I think this is easy, but 
my users would like one button to do this for them.  The Polycom has 
buttons we don't need (Transfer & Services), it would be nice if I could
remap one of those buttons to dial #70#.  Or if I could add a soft 
button during a call that would work too.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?

Thanks much,

Matthew O'Connor

Matthew, when I tried this, I couldn't get the soundpoints to dial 
in-call.  They thought there were picking up a new line for a new call.

I created a speed-dial entry (in MACADDRESS-directory.xml, 
"<item><fn>Park</fn><ct>#70#</ct><sd>3</sd></item>")
and then in ipmid.cfg:
<keys key.IP_500.31.function.prim="SpeedDial" 
key.IP_500.31.subPoint.prim="3"/>

This tells the phone to run Speed Dial 3 whenever the Services button 
(button #31 on a 500/501) is pressed.  I hope someone can help us 
configure them now to dial these digits in-call...
