Hi, I'm not clear on how to use Power--over-Ethernet, specifically with Polycom phones. What I understand, is that by buying the Polycom 501 with the 802.3af cable bundle, I simply connect my phone, through the Polycom provided "special" RJ-45 cable, into a PoE capable switch, and voil?! Is this true? And if so, what happens when the Phone doesn't connect directly to the

When I bought two Polycom 501 SIP phones, I naively thought they were Power-over-Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af) because they were "powered over ethernet." Silly me. Polycom must have some odd voltage or funny way of injecting the power, because the POE switch I bought for them (Netgear F@510P) won't power them, though if I use the Polycom-supplied AC adapter and ethernet power

Hi, Do you need a special cable and power for that unit or you can run it of PoE Switch? Thanks. robert

I am looking at phones for my asterisk system and seem to have a problem. The only Power over Ethernet phones I can find that support the IEEE standard are 3com. Cisco uses its own proprietary ( and is expensive to boot ), snom has a different but equally non-IEEE method, and i'm havent found another phone that I'm confident can do the job for our office. Whats a good high quality ip

Hi listers, I am looking for people who have used Power over Ethernet switches, primarily in conjunction with Polycom IP 501's. I've been looking at the Linksys SRW224P, since I've had good luck with the SRW224 in our office. However, Nortel, Cisco, Adtran, etc. all have an offering, all of which vary in price. I would appreciate any input people have to offer. Thanks, James

I have a 501 with traditional power and a 301 with PoE. I rightfully assumed that the traditional power from the 501 would work on the 301. How do I get the PoE to work? Do I use the Polycom PoE cable in addition to whatever PoE injection method I use? I have a Cisco PoE injector that works on my Cisco AP350 and my 7960. No combination of this injector, the Polycom cable, and the phone result in

Hi all, I'm researching IP phones for a new office setup. We will need 30 phones. I have read the wiki and the polycom site for the phones, but I still had some questions about real world experience with these phones. -According to the documentation, the 500 series ( and 600, according to a polycom rep ) have built in hubs. Has anybody noticed performance issues in this setup, when

I'm trying to develop a company phone list accessible via the minibrowser feature on the phone. The pertinent section of ipmid.cfg is as follows: <microbrowser mb.proxy=""> <idleDisplay mb.idleDisplay.home="http://server/polycom/index.html" mb.idleDisplay.refresh="300"/> <main

Hi List; Can someone advise me if Polycom support H323 that work fine with Asterisk? And wether this H323 Polcyom devices more costly than SIP Polycom. Also, I am not able to know if new Polycom come with PoE adaptor so no need for PoE Switch (can use normal switch that does not support PoE)? Do I need any special cable for Polycom or normal Ethernet cable? Regards Bilal

I have just spent the morning playing around with a Polycom IP600's microbrowser. Everything is working pretty well. In answer to the question of what type of XML it runs, it appears to be more or less XHTML-compliant. I have created a basic set of web pages allowing users to clock in and out against our MySQL timeclock system, running a PHP back-end. It's running like a champ.

I found this solution from the web and figured I'd share it because it affects all phones getting input from IIS. Map .gif, .jpg, .css etc (in my case I used .xhtml for the Polycom 601) in IIS under your sites: Properties -> Virtual directory tab-> Configuration -> Application configuration -> Mappings tab. Make ASP DLL [..\inetsrv\asp.dll] to handle these files. This

Hi, folks: I just took delivery of new PoE cables (PN 2200-11077-002) for our Polycom phones here in the office. I have the following to report, for the erudition of existing Polycom users and those considering purchasing Polycom sets from the set of models noted in the subject: 1. The cables do indeed work (hooray). 2. The cable has a module on it about a third of the way from a female end.

Hi, I have been trying a (really simple) push application for the Polycom microbrowser, using a Polycom 650 with 3.2 firmware. I can't do anything, I always get "Push message cannot be displayed" back from the Polycom phone, and all I am sending is the Polycom example : <PolycomIPPhone> <Data priority=?critical?> <h1> Fire Drill at 2pm </h1>

Is the main difference between the two the full duplex speaker on the 330? -- Warm Regards, Lee

Has anyone been able to get the minibrowser on the Polycom SoundPoint IP 500/600 phones working? If so could you share the relevant sections of your config with me?

Aloha, Did anyone ever get the formating manual for the XML brwoser on the Polycom IP600? Does anyone have a sample? Aloha, Matt

Most decent phones have an ethernet passthrough (2 port) so you can plug in your PC. As long as your LAN is decent (Cat5 100baseT switched) the overhead using VoIP is

What gives with the stupid stupid power system on the Polycom IP500 (I hope they changed it on the 501's). Anyway, does anyone know if you can get some type of joiner to connect two Cat5 cables together, and will this affect the call/signal quality because my Ethernet cable is longer than the dumb 11ft polycom supply (oh and their manual is the wrong about which end goes into the handset

I've been noticing that my group of Polycom IP 501 phones seems to randomly reset themselves nearly every night (I guess it usually happens at night, since I've never seen it happen while I've been at work during the day).. When I say "reset", I mean, the hands free volume and ring volume are set to the default and the call logs (received calls, missed calls, placed calls)
