similar to: Polycom dhcpd.conf? [Or, "Some day, I'll figure this all out."]

Hi, all. I'm thinking of provisioning my (non-PRI) T1 to be part data, part voice (currently, it's only voice). With the T100P, how do I get it to "do" data? Just load up the HDLC module, and it gets an IP address? Or...? I tried RTFM'ing, but there just doesn't seem to be much on it (leastwise, that's readily findable). Thanks much, Ken D'Ambrosio

Hi, all. I want to have a button on my receptionist's 601 that, when pressed, will forward her current call to a given extension. Is there any way to do that? I've tried to RTFM, but I'm coming up empty. Thanks, -Ken D'Ambrosio

http://downloads.polycom.com/voice/voip/sip_sw_releases_matrix.html Howdy, all. What's the difference between "split" and "combined" firmware, which can be seen at the above link? I've googled to no avail, I'm afraid. Thanks! -Ken -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Hi, all. I see that the Polycom SoundPoint IP 330 supports VLAN... but I don't quite see how that works. Do you point a non-VLAN'd segment at it (akin to when you uplink a VLAN_enabled switch), and have the phone implement the VLAN? Or...? *puzzled* Thanks much, -Ken

Hi, Just rejoined the list after many happy years of using samba in a production enviroment. I'm having problems getting my head around samba 3.0, or specifically, the UID/GID/SID mapping. I've been RTFM'ing but am still uncertain about the best way to go... I have a Win 2003 controlled ADS domain with five thousand users and just over a thousand groups. Users and groups (users and

For some reason, I cannot get samba (or Win98, depending on how you look at it...) to allow a win98 client to print. I search the list archives, but I didn't find anything similar. So here goes. Symptoms: - Win98 client can access fileshares OK. The printers show up OK as well in network neighbourhood. - On Linux, printing (lprng) works OK. - In win98, e.g. dir >

Hey, all. I quoted a customer about $100 for some cheap SIP phones. I was planning on using the BT-102's, but he called said they look like "Princess phones," and I have to admit that he has a point. Some of the other inexpensive phones look decent, but (for example) the SPA-841's wiki entry says the remote end gets a lot of static. Since it'll be being used from a noisy

Hi, all. I just upgraded my sip.cfg for my Polycoms, and that damn warble on registration(? -- maybe it's on acquiring an IP?) has started again. I still have the old sip.cfg, but can't figure out which option it is. Any help? Thanks! -Ken D'Ambrosio -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

[Please excuse if this is a repeat; I initially tried to send it from a different account, and it's been held up for a couple of days awaiting moderation.] 1) What's the absolute minimum required (hardware-wise) in order to get one in-bound POTS line into Asterisk, and then have IP phones "inside?" [In other words, I obviously need a NIC -- but what would be the

Hey, all. I've got an office set up with Asterisk, and forwarding's got a bit of a glitch: When they forward, they listen for the remote phone to ring, then hang up. If the remote phone doesn't connect, it goes to the original phone's VM. Is this Polycom's "fault," or Asterisk's? I've been reading up on blind/supervised forwards, and, honestly, have

Hi, all. Got my Uniden UIP200 today (ordered from thetwistergroup.com), and was very excited to set it up... until I came to the realization that there were no docs with it whatsoever. There was, however, a sheet of paper with the stock warnings (don't use the phone in the tub, etc.), AND a URL -- for documentation. Score! Well, no. The URL it gave me, bcs.uniden.com, does indeed have

Hey, all. I'm planning on migrating a W2K3 server to a Linux solution. It needs to be AD-aware, support ACLs, etc. This isn't something I'm doing Right Now(tm), so I can wait a little bit. A couple questions: 1) Are there any known issues with BTRFS? 2) Which version of Samba would be most appropriate for this? 3) AD integration: I've never really done it (with success); any

Hey, all. Just wondering if there's a GUI out there -- preferably OSS, but I'll take what-have-you -- that a) can run on an Ubuntu/Debian box, and b) allows a receptionist to see what calls are in-process, and forward calls from their phone to somewhere else. Thanks! -Ken -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

I'd *really* like to be able to have a call ring three different cell phones; then, if someone answers, they have to somehow acknowledge the call for it to be directed to them. That way, if one of the phones is off, or out of range, it doesn't go straight to that phone's voicemail. Asterisk 1.4 -- though I could probably upgrade. Suggestions on how to make this happen? Thanks!

Hi, all. I've done some Asterisk recelling, but recently got roped into a Sr. SysAdmin position. Our PBX is c. 1823, and -- well, as pretty much all circuit-based systems do, it sucks. It sucks to administer, moves suck... you know the drill. So, I'd love change to an Asterisk system. My boss, who loves to spend money for no particular reason, wants to go proprietary, though. So

Hey I was wanting to play with xen on beta 5. I have the beta 5 installed in my turion laptop. Went smooth... (4.4 would not install) Anyway anyone know were a starting point with xen might be? Thanks, Jerry

Hello listmates, I am running DHCPD for IPv4 on a Centos 5 machine. I am wondering if anyone has got a functional dhcpd.conf configuration serving static routes to Linux, Mac OS X and Windows clients. I tried a couple of variations of static-routes options - but have yet to create something that would work. Thanks. Boris.

I got dragged away from Asterisk (somebody made me an offer I couldn't refuse for system administration), but I'm thinking about seeing if I can't get it deployed at my new employer. Regardless, there are two things about older voicemail that used to annoy me: - Dial by name. Has anyone made it so it can be first or last? - Jump to voicemail; you used to have to actually dial the

Hey, all. I'm all over MWI, but I gotta say that I think the Polycoms go a bit over the top. The blinking LED is enough for me; how do I disable the stuttered dialtone and the audible warble? I've looked through the config files, but there are a HELL of a lot of options, and I haven't been able to find those particular ones yet. Thanks! -Ken -- This message has been scanned for

I bought a couple Polycom Soundpoint 300's, and have them working nicely with SIP... but I'd like to be able to do automatic config via FTP, but it requires some XML config files. The docs discuss them in detail, but I can't seem to d/l them from Polycom. [No, it doesn't appear to be on the CD that comes with the phone.] I've created an account at Polycom's tech support
