asterisk users - May 2006 - multiple registrations with Polycom IP600

Hi All,

Can someone please advise me about configuring my Polycom IP600? I have an
account with a SIP based IP Centrex provider. The basic SIP info and line 1
config points to them. That's
working fine.

I'd like to register line 2 with my own asterisk server. I've tried
putting the basic registration info in the line 2 configs...but the phone never
registers. Not certain how to proceed.

Have had the phone for a year or more but never had to register with services
both in-house and out-of-house. Usually just in-house.

Thanks,

Michael

These are from the older firmware version 1.4.1 configs that we used
to use, so they are missing a few of the XML elements like linekeys,
etc, but the basic idea should work:

   <reg reg.1.displayName="User's Name"
reg.1.address="100"
reg.1.label="Line1" reg.1.type="private"
reg.1.thirdPartyName=""
reg.1.auth.userId="100" reg.1.auth.password="100"
reg.1.server.1.address="asterisk.yourdomain.com"
reg.1.server.1.port="5060" reg.1.server.1.transport=""
reg.1.server.1.expires="" reg.1.server.1.register=""
reg.1.server.1.retryTimeOut=""
reg.1.server.1.retryMaxCount=""
reg.1.server.1.expires.lineSeize=""
reg.1.acd-login-logout="0"
reg.1.acd-agent-available="0" reg.2.displayName="User's
Name"
reg.2.address="100b" reg.2.label="Line2"
reg.2.type="private"
reg.2.thirdPartyName="" reg.2.auth.userId="100b"
reg.2.auth.password="100b"
reg.2.server.1.address="asterisk.anotherdomain.com"
reg.2.server.1.port="5060" reg.2.server.1.transport=""
reg.2.server.1.expires="" reg.2.server.1.register=""
reg.2.sserver.1.retryTimeOut=""
reg.2.server.1.retryMaxCount=""
reg.2.server.1.expires.lineSeize=""
reg.2.acd-login-logout="0"
reg.2.acd-agent-available="0" ... />

There's really only four things you need for a line registration to work:

reg.X.address
reg.X.auth.userid
reg.X.auth.password
reg.X.server.1.address

One thing that is often confused is that the reg.X.address is not the
address of the server you want to connect to, but is instead the
address of the phone.  In the case of asterisk, this makes it the same
value as reg.X.auth.userid.
