Of the people in here that have hinting working with the polycom 601's (or any phone for that matter)... do you have it working so that the shared line appearance shows that there's someone on the phone? If so, any hints on how to do it? -- Aaron Daniel Computer Systems Technician Sam Houston State University amdtech@shsu.edu (936) 294-4198

If you are using 'shared' registrations, it will likely not work properly with Asterisk since Asterisk does not yet support the draft protocol for doing them. Just add a 'buddy' to the phone's directory and set 'watch' to yes; then the button's light will show whether that channel is busy or not. However, depending on the channel type, the definition of 'busy' can vary... for Zap, it's obvious, but for SIP and IAX2, it is less clear.
I have had this working but not reliably. It seemed to work like this: Phone A watched B and C. Phone B watched A and C and Phone C watched A and B. I could see on Phone A (601) when phone B (501) was on the phone. Phone C never saw the status of either and Phone B would show the status of C. B would never show the status of A and A would never show the proper status of C. Phone C never showed the proper status of A or B. I didn't spend any more time on it but I'll try and get a chance to day to set the phones back up and give it a little more scientific testing. -Jonathan> -----Original Message----- > From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users- > bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Aaron Daniel > Sent: Monday, April 03, 2006 10:32 AM > To: Asterisk Users List > Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Hinting > > Of the people in here that have hinting working with the polycom 601's(or> any phone for that matter)... do you have it working so that theshared> line appearance shows that there's someone on the phone?
