Hi I am struggling with hardware choices to get started with. My options are narrowed down to SIP phones - Polycom IP500, IP600 and Cisco 7940G. of importance is: - functionality / integration with asterisk - headset functionality and use - voice quality - build quality Is there much of a difference between Polycom and Cisco? Scanning the group it looks like there may be slightly more

Hi, I've been asked for a headset recommandation for Polycom SoundPoint IP phones. Since I believe they use a pretty standard headset jack (correct me if I am wrong) it's really a general recommandation on headset.

Hey everyone, I have been trying to figure this out and I am just getting no where with it. The office is using Polycom IP 601 phones. Everything sounds great in terms of quality on both heads. However, users of the phone are having trouble with their headsets and handsets. Some users are hearing their voices back come back on the phone. If they adjust their volume lower, then it goes away,

Hello, I'm trying to setup the revised Polycom remote reboot script as found on: http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Polycom+reboot+hardphone+script I'm not sure how to use this script, it's just a perl script, so I tried creating an executable perl script and running it, but I get the following: [root@asterisk1 agi-bin]# ./polycom_reboot.pl 192.168.3.205 Checking ARP

I need to find a way to have the Polycom phones automatically park calls. Right now my users hit #70# (I know the last # is optional but it speeds it up.) to park a call. Personally I think this is easy, but my users would like one button to do this for them. The Polycom has buttons we don't need (Transfer & Services), it would be nice if I could remap one of those buttons to dial

Hi I am looking for a good wirless headset to use with the Polycom Soundpoint 501 phone. I would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone with good experiences with a specific device. Thanks -- Jim Freeze

Hi everyone, I have a user that needs a little extra volume on his Polycom IP 601 phone set for all calls (beyond what the volume control currently offers). Is there a provisioning setting for this anywhere? (I'd like to avoid a separate amplifier between the phone and handset if possible.) Alternatively, is there a way to have Asterisk 1.4.x boost the volume to a particular SIP device

I am getting to my wits end with these phones (and so is my boss). I am getting an random echo on these phones and I have an issue opened with Polycom and its been in their research and development department for almost a month with no results. I have noticed that I get a message "RFC3389 support incomplete. Turn off on client if possible" in asterisk. I have researched this and made

I am doing some experimenting with Asterisk 1.0.9 and Polycom IP501's. I have the extensions setup, and everything is working well up to this point. Now, I want to setup my system so that a user at an extension can start a recording on demand. I have tried various Google searches, but am coming up empty. Could someone point me in the right direction, or have some sample Polycom/Asterisk

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

We are doing a medium sized office in NYC with 80 phones. The customer originally requested Polycom 601 phones. The COO also authorized us to purchase 2 Grandstream GXP2000 phones for the mail room. We find these phones much easier to configure and work with asterisk . They support BLF & intercom right out of the box. They can also be centrally managed and provisioned. They also sound great

Hi all, Has anyone made up custom ring tones for the Polycom SIP phones? We use different rings for different lines, but the ones it comes with are all very similar. In the interesting of sharing, here's one I made up for paging: <PAGE_BEEP se.pat.ringer.13.name="Page Beep" se.pat.ringer.13.inst.1.type="chord" se.pat.ringer.13.inst.1.value="12"

I have the following situation: Asterisk 1.2.1 25+ Polycom 501 telephones. Bootrom 2.6.2.0032 Application 1.6.2.0041 Some 501's local to my network, some across the great INTERNET divide. PRI connected to Sangoma card. Issue: horrible echo (and squeals, and "underwater-like" sound) on speaker phone when calling from extension to extension. echo not present when calling outbound

I have a client that want to try the softphone with USB handsets route to see if hardphones will even be needed. I always push for hardphones (Polycom) so I am not sure about softphones or USB handsets. This is going to be for a 300+ seat call center onsite and many offsite, I plan on using OpenVPN for the offsite machines. Any advice on softphones, handsets, or practical experience with

Has anyone gotten one-touch call parking to work on Polycom phones via the Enhanced Feature Keys feature working? I've looked at various examples, they appear correct, but the phones (501, 3.1.x firmware) show the Park button while in a call but this does not actually cause the call to be parked. Doing a SIP debug, I don't see that anything is transmitted as a result of pressing the call

I have been testing with Polycom IP600 phones for a month or so. I found out that there are frequent problems with the handset. The problem is I can hear the other end but the other end cannot hear me. I have already downloaded the latest bootROM 3.1.3 and sip 2.1.2 However, there are no problems with the headset or speaker phone. Has anyone encountered such problems before? Thanks.

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)

Hi: I want to make parking calls easier for my hard-working users. Is there a way to make the Polycom call park feature work with Asterisk? In case it just works out of the box, I haven't tried it yet; but the "call park" feature isn't enabled on the Polycom phones by default. -Stephen-

I have some IP 500s that I bought used, but the connectors are different than the new ones. There is a Modem/Power RJ11, a Line RJ11, and Handset and headset connector.
