Does anyone have the polycom soundpoint ip's successfully remotely provisioning? I've got the phone pulling default configs, and it's downloading phone specific information, but it's not actually using that information. Any help would be appreciated :) -- Aaron Daniel Computer Systems Technician Sam Houston State University amdtech@shsu.edu (936) 294-4198

Polycom's can work in one of two ways: a) using self configuration b) downloading it from a ftp server To make your Polycoms work with Asterisk you actually don't need the phone to download any configuration, with the one embeded is ok. In any case, when turned on, the phone searches for the ftp server, when it cannot find it, it just continues loading with its self pre-configured parameters. Once this process is finished you should keep on with your own local network and sip configurations Alyed ---------------------------------------- Return-Path: <asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com> Thu Mar 23 17:36:11 2006 Received: from digium-69-16-138-164.phx1.puregig.net [69.16.138.164] by mail11.webcontrolcenter.com with SMTP; Thu, 23 Mar 2006 17:36:11 -0700 Received: from digium-69-16-138-164.phx1.puregig.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) Does anyone have the polycom soundpoint ip's successfully remotely provisioning?

How do you know it's pulling those files? Is there an error reported by the phone reading those files? Maybe a typo in the xml files?

I have two sites with 5 phones at each site successfully configuring themselves off my central FTP server. The next site (50 phones) is being installed next week. :) -- National Manager - Special Projects < Melbourne / Sydney / Canberra / Hobart / London /> 2/340 Gore Street T: +61 (0) 3 9486 0411 Fitzroy, VIC F: +61 (0) 3 9486 0611 3065 W: http://www.squiz.net/ .....>> Open Source - Own it - Squiz.net ...../>

Even if I backed out the manual changes that I did to the phone, it would have problems getting the FTP config. Ultimately I forced the phone to do a reset (I think it may be called "reset user settings" or something similar), then when I rebooted the phone it pulled the FTP config correctly... Hope it helps.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Aaron, I have this working quite well. Are you using FTP? or TFTP... We are using FTP for about 40 phones and it works like a champ. For each phone I have... 0004f2030925.cfg <APPLICATION APP_FILE_PATH="sip.ld" CONFIG_FILES="phone4710.cfg, sip.cfg" MISC_FILES="" LOG_FILE_DIRECTORY="logs/ "/> then I have phone4701.cfg that contains all of the line information and phone specific data then the stock sip.cfg with the digitmap and global options....

Can I see an example of > someone's phone specific configuration?Just a thought - have you tried just pulling the file from the ftp root instead of using a subdirectory? Anyway, here's the config file for the phone on my desk: http://pastebin.com/620426 - Noah
