[asterisk-users] Polycom Buddy Watch Broken with 2.0.1 Firmware?
I updated a batch of Polycom IP501 phones and an IP601 to the 2.0.1 firmware to get the new NAT keep-alive feature and the ability to watch more than a handful of buddy contacts but it appears to have broken the buddy-watch feature. Is anyone seeing this? Anybody know if it's a Polycom problem or something on the Asterisk end? I'm running a recent (2 days ago) copy of the 1.2 trunk. In a rather bone-headed move, I updated the firmware and Asterisk at the same time so I'm unable to tell which is the culprit.

[asterisk-users] Polycom Buddy Watch Broken with 2.0.1 Firmware?
Yes, we saw the same problem. We opened a ticket with our reseller, who escalated it to Polycom. Here's what the reseller said... "We escalated this up to Polycom. They said that they had seen a problem with the display not updating with Asterisk, and they are going to see if your issue is a match for a known issue or if this is a new different issue. I expect an update from the later today (Monday) or tomorrow. I'll let you know as soon as I hear from them." Guess that snuck through Polycom's QA process. You can watch more than a handful of buddies with version 1.6.7. :) Doug. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Dugas [mailto:paul@dugas.cc] Sent: Mon 10/2/2006 6:01 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Cc: Subject: [asterisk-users] Polycom Buddy Watch Broken with 2.0.1 Firmware?

I did the same thing with the Polycom's - upgraded all mine from 1.6.x to 2.0.1 but I had great success and no problem with the buddy watch / presence feature --- if anything, it works a little better. Whats your <mac-address>-directory.xml configuration file look like? Did you make any changes to the <mac-address-phone.cfg file? do you have the line of: up.useDirectoryNames="1" feature.1.name="presence" feature.1.enabled="1" In the config?

Hi Looking at using Asterisk for a new remote office with about 200 extensions. We have an existing EPABX in our central office with about 120 POTS lines. The central office and the new office will be connected over a 4Mbps leased line. We want to be able to connect our Asterisk box to our EPABX so that people with Asterisk VoIP extensions can dial out using the POTS line - and, of course, receive calls through the POTS line. I am informed that we will require a Digium card to connect the Asterisk box to the existing EPABX. This card, I am told is a PRI card that can handle 30 voice channels. This is fine. My question is - how many such cards can one Asterisk system handle? What if I want to enable three PRI lines on Asterisk? Is it recommended to put in three or four PRI cards in one Asterisk box? I have a dual Xeon 3.0Ghz (I think!) box with 2GB RAM - this box can be upgraded or changed as well and am running RHEL 4.0 AS on it. Thanks very much Best wishes Iyer -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi
Looking at using Asterisk for a new remote office with about 200 extensions.
We have an existing EPABX in our central office with about 120 POTS lines.
The central office and the new office will be connected over a 4Mbps leased
line.
We want to be able to connect our Asterisk box to our EPABX so that people
with Asterisk VoIP extensions can dial out using the POTS line - and, of course,
receive calls through the POTS line.
I am informed that we will require a Digium card to connect the Asterisk box
to the existing EPABX. This card, I am told is a PRI card that can handle 30
voice channels. This is fine.
My question is - how many such cards can one Asterisk system handle?
What if I want to enable three PRI lines on Asterisk? Is it recommended to
put in three or four PRI cards in one Asterisk box?
I have a dual Xeon 3.0Ghz (I think!) box with 2GB RAM - this box can be
upgraded or changed as well and am running RHEL 4.0 AS on it.
Thanks very much
Best wishes
Iyer
