I know this is not asterisk specific but we all know this group is used for Polycom issues as well... I have hints working ok on Asterisk. However the Polycom phone will only show the buddies key if there is not a call. This defeats the purpose of using the buddies to see if you can transfer a call to another extension (using the Buddy key to see if they are on the phone). Polycom sip version: 1.6.6.0036 for all platforms except 11402_001 1.6.6.0042 for 11402_001 Any way around this? The big issue is moving from a key system to this is the ability to use the phone to see who is on the phone so you know if you can transfer a call. Obviously web based interfaces work but that draws your attention from the phone to the computer reducing effectiveness. Buddies half solve this...

Figures I email this and realized I can hit Menu 1 (Features) 4 (Presence) 2 (Buddy Status) Wow that's a lot of key strokes. Anyway to reduce that to a one button touch? I don't mind doing that but I guess I should think of the users :-) Bill ________________________________ From: Bill Gibbs Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2006 2:21 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Polycom buddies question I know this is not asterisk specific but we all know this group is used for Polycom issues as well...
