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.

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

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

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

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 have 3 analog trunks zap/1, zap/4 and zap/5. zap/5 is the least used line. Would the following work for 911 calls? [e911] exten => 911,1,ChanIsAvail(Zap/1) exten => 911,2,Dial(Zap/1/911) exten => 911,3,Hangup() exten => 911,102,ChanIsAvail(Zap/4) exten => 911,103,Dial(Zap/4/911) exten => 911,104,Hangup() exten => 911,203,ChanIsAvail(Zap/5) exten =>

Does anybody know if there are any external telephone-keypads for sale anywhere? (containing the keys 0-9, *, # and onhook/offhook would do) I am looking for a keypad to control a softphone and would prefer the controls to be in the physical world instead of as a window. Sincerely, Markus Hakansson

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?

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 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

I really hate to have to make a post like this, but I feel I have little choice but to relay to the group my experience with Teliax, and explain why I recommend against using them as a primary Voip-> PSTN provider. I hope that a letter like this will inspire companies like Teliax to work harder at customer service, as well as circuit stability. We need more companies that offer the types of

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?

Hello I have a Junghanns ISDN BRI card for incoming calls and use SIP Polycom IP300 phones. My config files look like this: features.conf pickupextn = *8 zapata.conf context=frompstnisdn group=1 callgroup=1 pickupgroup=1 I also edited sip.conf like this: group=1 callgroup=1 pickupgroup=1 But on internal and incoming calls if I dial *8 from any phone I cannot pickup. Do I need to add

Hi, I'm trying to write a tool, which shows me the state of the current calls. For this purpose I'm reading from Pipe the Asterisk output and parse it... asterisk -vr | mytool However, the problem ist how to get the information about who got this call in the group. The Zap channels are assigned dynamical. Only thing I can see which channel is connect to the caller but not who is
