Ever since I upgraded my Polycom 500 to the newest sip.ld (kept the old bootrom), when I dial things like "*98" for voicemail, the screen shows "9*8" and doesn't dial my voicemail system! Is this user error, or errors in the new firmware? Chris Coulthurst chris@shuksan.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

When I try and park a call by transferring to 700, it audibly says to me "701", and then instead of hanging up with me, it puts me on hold. The only way to park the call is to send it blind to 700, but then I wouldn't know which parking spot the call is in! Before I send any .conf files to the list, does anyone recognize this behavior, and have a workaround? Chris Coulthurst

I'm having a problem with the callerID that the polycom IP600 phones are displaying. I would like to modify the CIDName and leave CIDNumber as exactly what the phone call came in as(provided they aren't hiding callerID). Most of the calls will be going to the queue, but a few will go directly to the SIP phones. I've done a various combinations of using SetCallerID(),

When I want to pick up a ringing line, I dial *8 and hit New Call softkey on my Poly 501. For some reason, if I pick up the hand set and dial *8, it seems to ignore or drop the 8 digit. I've confirmed that this happens with all of my 12 Polycom 501s. Does anyone know what would cause this or how to fix it?

Has anybody tried to use a Polycom phone (I have 500s and 600s) with a netmask shorter than /24? (A network bigger than 255.255.255.0). We've run out of IPs in our initial /24 network, and I'd like to expand it to 255.255.248.0. When I set it to 255.255.248.0 I can ping the phone while the bootloader has control. As soon as the SIP application starts, I stop getting ping responses. Phone

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?

I have a Polycom 500 and would love one of the line-appearance keys to show me if a certain person/people are on the phone upstairs. This 'hint' priority seems to have little-to-no documentation. So, if anyone out there has a clue about this, here are a couple of questions: Can you 'hint' Zap and IAX2 extensions? Can you concatenate extensions together? (i.e. exten =>

Does anyone know how to change the display format of caller id on the screen of a polycom 300/500/600? When I call FROM my 'shop phone 203' TO my 'office phone 201', a Polycom 500, it only says 'Shop' as the calling party. More specifically, the two lines look like this: Incoming call from: Shop I'm looking for a way to make it use both lines for caller id,

Does anyone have a quick-n-dirty context to implement *66 automatic callbacks? I have a few people who like to have no call waiting on their phone (can you really blame them?) It would be nice to have something like *66, and also like 'Camp On', but instead of waiting something like 30 seconds, monitor the channel until it becomes available, then immediately ring back your phone to

Does someone have a link to step-by-step instructions to making the Line-In on the console sound card a MOH source? I know this has to work somehow.

Is there another way to upgrade it? Chris Coulthurst chris@shuksan.com

Is there a way to make an outside call hear "The person at phone number XXXX is unavail", but when an internal extension calls another extension, they hear "The person at extension number XXXX is unavail"? I swear I've read this somewhere before but I'm not typing in the right search. I probably found it before by complete accident. Of course, we want the outside

Just wondering if anyone has gotten instant messaging working between two polycom phones/and or MSN messenger with asterisk in the middle? I tried a few things but couldn't get it to work... Regards, Adam

I am currently utilizing Polycom IP600 phones and presense. I have placed the hint directives in and everything seems to work fine. But this only works for a short period of time. After about 30 minutes, the extensions do not see when others are on the phone. Has anyone seen this type of behavior before? I am currently utilizing v1.5.2 of the polycom software and the cvs-head release from

Does anyone know if there is any way to make the 'services' key do anything? How about a way to remap it? Chris Coulthurst chris@shuksan.com

I'm attempting to set up my SoundPoint 501 with my Asterisk server. I've configured DHCP and TFTP and successfully updated both the BootRom and SIP application. I've also created a custom cfg file for this phone's MAC address and the settings seem to be taking just fine. I can see that the phone registers with my Asterisk server but 'sip show peers' reports that the phone

Being one the many people trying to track down echo 'ghosts' I ran across this page: http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2004-November/071301.html suggesting ways to adjust the gain. I have a TDM400P 2x2 config with Kewlstart lines configured. I've located a local telco milliwatt test line, and when I call it, the gain numbers are no where near 14844. Now, this

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
