[Asterisk-Users] "Local Directory" feature on Polycom Soundpo int 501s
The filename needs to be <MAC Address>-directory.xml, not <IP Address>-directory.xml. Grab the MAC off the back of the phone. This is the same as for the provisioning files if you are using your TFTP server to do that. Also, is there a reason that you aren't using FTP? It's much more robust, and does not require that you pre-configure the directory file (unless you want to fill in specific values). - Brad -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of hugolivude Sent: Friday, November 25, 2005 11:55 AM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] "Local Directory" feature on Polycom Soundpoint 501s I cannot seem to get the "Local Directory" feature to work. I've consulted section 3.1.17 of the Administrator Guide. It says to put a file <Ethernet address>-directory.xml (where <Ethernet address> is the IP address of the phone) into the TFTP directory. Polycom provides a template. The IP address for one of my phones is 192.168.0.113, so I placed the file 192168000113-directory.xml (shown below) into my TFTP directory, but the local directory on the phone was not updated when it rebooted. I think the TFTP is configured correctly because the phone has no problem loading the firmware etc. I thought it might have something to do DHCP, so I gave the phone a static IP address, still no luck. Next I tried entering the info manually right on the phone. I went into the "Contact Directory" pressed "Add" and entered the infor for a contact. I pressed "Save" and the phone came back with "No Records". Occasionally I see a message "Busy. Please try again..." Anyone have better success?

[Asterisk-Users] "Local Directory" feature on Polycom Soundpo int 501s
Hrmmm... I'm not sure how much more help I can be on this exactly. For all of my users, we use FTP and the files get created and updated automatically. I should note that this is with all IP600s/601s but this should be the same even for the 501s. - Brad -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of hugolivude Sent: Friday, November 25, 2005 12:44 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] "Local Directory" feature on Polycom Soundpo int 501s I tried changing the name to the MAC address format, but still no luck.
