Polycom Phones (updated for 3.2.X firmware with asterisk 1.6.1 Jan/2010) With
SIP 3.2.X firmware (available on the Polycom download site) and Asterisk
1.6.1, Polycom phones now support a full featured BLF showing statuses of
Ringing, Inuse and Online and one touch directed call pickup.
On the asterisk side all that needs to be done is to add a hint to the
extension and enable directed pickup. Directed pickup is enabled by adding
the following lines to extensios.conf
exten => _*8.,1,SET(GLOBAL(PICKUPMARK)=${EXTEN:2})
exten => _*8.,n,Pickup(${EXTEN:2}@PICKUPMARK)
On the phone side for each line that is going to be monitored add lines like
the following to the phone's cfg file.
attendant.reg="1"
attendant.resourceList.1.address="sip:205 at
192.168.1.102"
attendant.resourceList.1.label="205"
attendant.resourceList.2.address="sip:217 at
192.168.1.102"
attendant.resourceList.2.label="217"
call.directedCallPickupMethod="legacy"
call.directedCallPickupString="*8"
feature.12.name="directed-call-pickup"
feature.12.enabled="1"
Assuming my server is at 192.168.1.102, this will add two BLF lines to the
phone for extensions 205 and 217. Calls incoming to those extensions will
show a blinking green led on the monitoring phone, pressing the hard key
will pick the call up, if it is answered elsewhere the led will change to
solid red. AFAIK this cannot be configured via the phones web gui, you must
use the cfg files. You can also use versions of Asterisk older than 1.6.1 if
you remove the restriction on what asterisk thinks Polycom phones can
handle. Look in chan_sip.c for
if (strstr(p->useragent, "Polycom")) {
p->subscribed = XPIDF_XML;
and change that line to
p->subscribed = DIALOG_INFO_XML;
