CVS Head from 07/07/2005 I'm trying to make an IP-501 auto answer a call. exten => 301,1,SetVar(_ALERT_INFO="Ring_Ans") exten => 301,2,SetVar(ALERT_INFO="Ring_Ans") # Tried both combinations exten => 301,3,Dial(SIP/5001,15) exten => 301,4,Hangup Sip.cfg for Polycom phone <alertInfo voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.2.value="Ring_Ans"

I am looking for clues on how to configure distinctive ring for a PolyCom SoundPoint 300. Does ALERT_INFO apply? If so, how? Thanks, David Koski david.nospham@kosmosisland.com

(new asterisk user - currently setting up Polycom IP600 phones) Does anyone know if it's possible to make a sip phone instantly pick up on speakerphone when a particular call comes in? Eg so that you can quickly bother someone across the office without making them reach for their phone?

I am using SugarCRM together with the asterisk plugin, which allows me to click a number, SugarCRM calls my extension then places the call when I pickup. I would like to have that extension auto-answer. I set it up as line 3 on my phone so normal calls do not get auto-answered. However, I have not been able to get this to work. Has anyone implented this? This is what I put in the config file

I was trying to get my polycom phone to auto answer. I added this to the dialplan. Used a different phone to call "22" and the phone rang it did not auto answer. Did I miss something? exten => 22,1,SipAddHeader(Call-Info:=\;answer-after=0) exten => 22,n,SipAddHeader(Alert-Info: Ring Answer) exten => 22,n,Set(__SIPADDHEADER=Call-Info:\;answer-after=0) exten =>

I'm stumped on this one and any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm just trying to get my Polycom 601 to have multiple extensions on it. For example, on line 1 I want extension 21, on line 2 I want extension 22, and on line 3 I want extension 23. Ideally I'd actually have each extension appear on 2 lines and therefore filling up all 6. I should be able to do that with the

Hi, I'm having trouble setting the ringtone on my Polycom 501. The relevant entry in extensions.conf is: exten => 801,hint,SIP/creative1 exten => 801,1,SetVar(ALERT_INFO="Test") exten => 801,2,Dial(SIP/creative1,20,Ttr) In the sip.cfg: <alertInfo voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.1.value="Test" voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.1.class="13"/> and <TEST

Hi, I just moved many Polycom phones from firmware v3 to 4.0.1b. Anto-Answer simply stopped functioning. I can downgrade and make it work, upgrading kills it again. There obviously is a difference in how the newer firmware is treating this auto answer sip header. Can anybody tell me if they have Polycom firmware 4.x.x working with auto-answer/paging? Just so I know it's worth my time

Hi all - This isn't really directly Asterisk related, but has anyone successfully set up a Polycom phone to register two lines on two different Asterisk boxes? I can get the first line to register, but the second one does not. I can still place calls from that second line, which indicates to me the server, user, and secret are correct. I'm running the newest 2.6 series firmware with the

Hi, I'm using asterisk 1.2.1 on a debian sarge distro. I've followed notes in http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Polycom+auto-answer+config and http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=OptiPoint+600+SIP+-+Distictive+ring+using+ALERT_INFO but I still cannot change ring style via asterisk using exten => 666,1,SipAddHeader(ALERT_INFO="ring3") in extensions.conf . Is it

Hi, I've been meaning to fix my non-working paging feature here for a while, and I've just spent the last 5 hours looking at many, many web pages that all say the same thing. I am using Asterisk 1.6.2.18 and Polycom phones, both older (501 with "latest" legacy 3.1.7 firmware) and newer (335 and 650 with latest 3.3.1f). I have changed the correct values in sip.cfg like

now that I have finally figured out what I was doing wrong with my polycom phone and got it to read the configuration file Im changing some gains. I successfully changed the gain for the ringer... It was too low for me. Does anyone know which gain would be for the call waiting and which tone would be for the "hands free" mode? Thanks

hi there I'm setting up asterisk@home and I'm using Polycom IP 500 phones. When I call a number that has a digital receptionist (i.e. "dial 1 or such and such, dial 2 for this and that...") the Polycom doesn't seem to send the extra digits. When I try it with X-Lite things appear to work fine, so I think the problem is with the Polycom configuration. Here's some

Hi, My phones stopped auto-answering when being paged, since I moved on to Polycom firmware 3.3.0 (3.3.1 is the same, I tried). That is with Asterisk 1.6.2.16. I looked at the wiki but nothing I try there works, even if I cut and paste the same setup. Any one has any idea of what I should change from my old 3.2.3 setup? My older phone (501) still using 3.1.6 still auto-answer

I just got a Polycom soundpoint and I set it up using the phone and web based admin. I cant seem to figure out the config files and they are confusing me greatly and I dont have time for it :) Some things are odd, like on every reboot it seems the volume I set is reset? is there any way to fix that. And the ringer seems low. - Even all the way up Anyone willing to point out a good asterisk

Hi Guys This has been discussed a little in the list before so my apologies for sendig it again but I have done what others have done in the list but to no avail. I have configured Asterisk to send the callerID of extension phones as "firstname lastname" and that seems to work well and extensions show calls originating on other extensions in this format. I set the following in

Hi All - I'm trying to implement the auto-answer config from the wiki, but the result for me is that the phone just rings as normal. I'm running firmware version 1.4.1 on an IP500. I've added the following to my sip.cfg: <alertInfo voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.2.value="Ring Answer" voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.2.class="4"/> and this to my ipmid.cfg

Working on a paging system for one of my sites and running into something I can't believe is this hard. In one of the zones, they want to have three different extensions ring over the pa system, using it as a loud ringer. Now the paging system does have a loud ringer built in and I can easily have it do a simultaneous ring, but all of the extensions will sound the same over the loud

Anyone have some recommended equipment for alerting people to calls in a noisy environment? I have Polycom IP550 phones set up in some really noisy environments - our mine hoists - and they tend to drown out the ringers. I'm using Clarity WR100s now. They're analog devices, attached to Linksys PAP2T ATAs as part of a call group to get a loud (advertised as 95dB) ring out there, but it
