I'm trying to get the BLF to work correctly on my Polycom phones. I have the buddy watch working correctly, but can't get the BLF to change based on the state... Example: When an extension is ringing, I get the same 'red light' that I get when the extension is actually in use... I was wondering if anyone had any experience with getting the Polycom phone to differentiate between the different device states.

What model Polycom are you using and which BIOS level? In my *, I can tell if the phone is ringing or in use, but I'm pretty sure the BLF records both as inuse. _____ From: asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Jeffrey Phelps Sent: Monday, March 23, 2009 12:36 PM To: asterisk-users at lists.digium.com Subject: [asterisk-users] Polycoms and BLF I'm trying to get the BLF to work correctly on my Polycom phones.

As far as I can tell, that implementation has no "Early" state, and cannot therefore report Ringing. Polycom also support RLMI for BLF type behaviour, which is a full implementation, but this is not Asterisk compatible. There is a partial patch to add this in the bugtracker, but I have not tried it. If anyone knows otherwise, I would be interested to know it. Regards, Steve
