similar to: Displayed CallerID on Polycom 500 shows CALLERNAME only

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,

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

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

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

Can anyone explain the Polycom Text Messaging features built in to the IP 500/600? Can Asterisk (or something else) talk to it? I've seen vague references to MSN Messenger, and somehow that's mentally disturbing.

I'll do that, but I'm sure that it's the Polycom :) Caller ID shows up fine on my 7960... W/ the name on top and the number below that. -- Executing NoOp("SIP/614-3ede", "Caller*ID is Matthew Marlowe <6092521155>") in new stack When the phone rings, only 'Matthew Marlowe' would display. When I answer, both the Name & Number will show.

When I try to transfer calls with a Polycom 500, (blind or not), the digits don't display properly on the screen, and the call is just put on hold. I also can't park a call for the same reasons. Is there something funny with sending digits to this polycom? I'm sure this is something silly. Sip version 1.5.2.0054 and using the old bootrom Chris Coulthurst chris@shuksan.com

If you activate (via sip.cfg) the feature Group Call Pickup, its no surprise that asterisk doesn't know what to do with this feature request. But it is being sent as a SIP SUBSCRIBE request, and I'm wondering if, as asterisk stands, there is a way to take advantage of this feature to emulate the "*8#" normal behavior. If anyone has any input, there is also a call parking

Can anyone tell me why I keep getting these messages from IAXTEL? It does appear to register since I get lines like this: 2005-04-30 04:26:42 VERBOSE[1644]: -- Registered to '69.73.19.178', who sees us as 67.182.152.242:4569 But what is this? I don't think IAXTEL is working for me, since I can't dial 800 #s through it when I copy the iaxtel.com instructions. 2005-05-20

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 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

Does anyone have success in upgrading Aastra/Sayson 480i CT firmware? All I get, no matter what I've tried is "Unable to upgrade firmware". tftpd is working because the dialplan freshens, and I have aastra.cfg whatevermacaddressfile.cfg and firmware.st in /tftpboot Am I missing something stupid? Is there another way to upgrade it? Chris Coulthurst chris@shuksan.com

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

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(),

I swear I read somewhere on one of the MANY pages that there is a script out there that can read the extensions.conf file and create the MySQL DB records on the fly. Anyone know where I look for such a thing? Sure speeds up migration! Chris Coulthurst chris@shuksan.com

Lately when I issue a 'reload' from the CLI, I find that it will sometimes hang forever, completely locked up. I can press enter and see the CLI prompt move, but no commands are taken.

I had CC readers going over the internet (with pings over 80ms) connected to Linksys PAP2. It was only successful once every 3 attempts. I had 100% reliability when it was connected on LAN. Timing is an issue, if you doing everything on LAN it should not be a problem. Just make sure you use G.711 protocol. > -----Original Message----- > From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com

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
