Hi, I just got my ip500 back after months of waiting. Is there an easy way to get it hooked up to asterisk without [t]ftp servers and all that or is there a quickstart page somewhere? tia r

While I'm asking about the Polycom ip500, the answers for all phones where mic/handset/headset levels are adjustable would be of interest to many I'm sure. For the ip500, the default value for the handset seems to be voice.gain.tx.analog.handset="3" I've noticed that echo all but goes away when one reduces the mic volume on almost any phone. My question is, for you users

I'm guessing that I need more info entered into the 'message centre' section. What did you key in?

I've had an IP300 for a while now and it's been working fine. I just got an IP500 and when it connects to the FTP server it downloads the new bootrom and says error loading. The bootrom is fine and works on the 300... In addition, I downloaded a new copy to be sure and it still doesn't work. Can anyone give me some advice?

Hi, I have lookedaround and don't see this anywhere. Is there a way to tell the ip500 to not make the aural MWI blips?

Hi Everyone, I've been asked to determine which phones our organization should go with. And I've narrowed it down to the Polycom IP500 or the Cisco 7940. From my travels through google, it's hard to find a definitive comparison of the two phones. So I thought I would ask the people that have probably used both. From what I can tell, the only major benefit the Cisco has over the

Hi All - I've got a load of Polycom phones, and for the most part, I think they're great, but one thing that is bugging the heck out of me (and my users) is the "on-hold" feature. When you're on a call, and another one comes in, it doesn't ring the second line appearance on the phone, even though I have it registered separately, and I've tried to make my

Hello, Does anybody have the latest Boot ROMs for the IP500 and IP 600 Polycom phones. I have one of each and can't find the Boot ROM v 3 anywhere to download. I would also love a good sample phone.cfg and sip.cfg files from an Aussie asterisk user to look at. Also the ip500 is having problems trying to load the bootrom 2.6.2 ? Any ideas? Kind regards Michael Felder IT Medic

Could someone please direct me (via personal email) to a provider with good prices on Polycom Soundpoint IP 500's with POE cables? I need 14 of them.

Hi I have the latest a@h installed and everything is working perfectly. I have been told by a collegue that a@h doesn't use the full potential of the machine it is installed on i.e. the CPU & Memory, unless the kernel has modified. He is unsure where he heard this from and I wonderd if anyone had any other information about this or knew where I could find some? Many Thanks Scott

I've been looking at Asterisk for a while now, and want to set up a small installation at my house. I did originally want to get a Cisco IP phone, but due to price and it not being easy to obtain the SIP firmware I have decided again them. I am very interested in the Polycom IP500. I can find many places in the USA that sell it but nowhere in the UK. Also can anyone recommend some good

Hi I am just getting started with asterisk and trying out using the sample files with a Polycom IP500 (latest sip.ld etc) My question: phone status says not registered: /system status/server status "Line 1 poly is not registered" console message says: handle_request: Registration from '<sip:poly@10.1.20.3>' failed for '10.1.20.50' I have tried dialing and

Greetings, I'm wondering if it's possible to display line breaks with caller ID display. I have the Polycom ip500 phone, and what I am trying to accomplish is instead of the phone saying 'Incoming call from: name/number' i want it to appear on the phone like this Incoming Call from: Menu Context last in Name Number I tried using \n and \\n between the variables (${VAR} \\n

tuning for ulaw g.711 - Polycom IP500 I've got QoS ironed out at this point (dedicated section of bandwidth with VoIP having priority), yet ulaw is still unusable due to small 'holes' in the audio. Running iperf tests shows packet loss at very low percentages (< 0.02 %), and when we do drop, it's only 1 packet at a time. I thought ulaw was supposed to handle this OK.

Does anyone have any sample configuration files for the Polycom IP500 phones that have been cleaned from the samples that come with the 1.5.2 firmware. I'm wondering how much is necessary, and how much will just work by default. I am really only setting the line authentication , and sntp/timezone-offset for each phone, and everything else is just left as default. Can I just pull unchanged

Hi, Im having problems getting a polycom IP500 phone to register. Ive edited the xml files and appropriate .cfg files and it shows up registered with no ip address and if I go into the phones status menu and pick lines it says its not registered. If I tell it to upload the log file it doesn't say anything about why its not registering / what errors its getting. Any advice is appreciated.

I have these phones working well with Asterisk, thanks to http://www.freedomphones.net/polycom/files The code there is not the most current (and my Polycom Extranet login hasn't gotten updated yet to allow downloads). Been waiting a while for their support folks to update the access. If you know where I can get the 2.5.0 BootROM and 1.3.1 SIP code? Thanks, L.

Adam, Tor sent this one a little while ago that looks really promising for solving the problem.
