This is my first foray into SIP telephony, so be gentle. :-) The Polycom SoundPoint IP 501 phones have been fantastic so far. I still have a lot to learn when it comes to them, but the manual seems pretty extensive and so far Asterisk has been playing well with them. I have a need to be able to identify incoming calls based on some factor (could be time of day, caller ID, dialed number, it

This feature also works on the IP301 phones. The obvious caveat is that it is one-way only. Still nice for an "all-page" though. -Jonathan > -----Original Message----- > From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users- > bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Andrew Kohlsmith > Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2006 12:27 PM > To:

I am starting to get the hang of this, I think. These are more implementation questions; "is this a proper/good way of using/doing this" kind of questions. The IP501 has three line appearances. I have learned that shared line appearances cannot place calls, only receive them. They're indicated by the "half telephone" icon beside the button. Private line

Hey, Thanks for the input Andrew. I did all you suggested but noticed that when I did the loopback test, the output *was not* there as you mentioned ("I'm set to pri_net, but the other side thinks it is pri_net!"). In fact, the same message as before kept repeating every second or so: >> Unnumbered frame: >> SAPI: 00 C/R: 0 EA: 0 >> TEI: 000 EA: 1

> -----Original Message----- > From: Andrew Kohlsmith [mailto:akohlsmith-asterisk@benshaw.com] > Is the channel physically being hung up before the * tone is heard? Good question. If it is, Asterisk doesn't detect it -- the PBX doesn't support Kewlstart-style disconnect notification. The sequence I hear on the extension, when I plug in an analog phone, is the click of the

In response to the postings by Andrew Kohlsmith and Ernest W. Lessenger: Andrew, I modified the exten line in extensions.conf as you suggested. Unfortunately, It still does not work... Ernest, I spent approx. 4 hours reading list archives (and anything else Google served up) on how to configure iax.conf and extensions.conf to work with Voicepulse. Then, I sent an email to voicepulse

Greetings, Has anyone noticed that attempting to place a call from the "Placed Calls" list on a Polycom IP501 by pressing the 'Dial' softkey sometimes simply returns the phone to the idle screen? It is not related to the number being dialed, as we have observed two entries for the same number, one of which worked and the other didn't. We've experimented with calls

Greetings, We are trying to make our corporate directory (around 400 entries) available via TFTP to some Polycom IP501 phones. A small (~40 entries or so) file works, but the full file fails to load. Does anyone know what the upper limit on directory entries is? The size of the XML file itself is only 60K - you'd think that would all fit into the phone with no problems..... I would

Hi gang, I know this is off-topic for Asterisk, but I don't know where else to ask: I've setup a central directory.xml file for my Polycom IP501 phones with a list of all the internal extensions. None of them have <sd>1</sd> as I don't want to enable any speed dials, just have a list in each phone. However, when a phone boots, it seems to pick a random entry and put it

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

Hi, Just started using an asterisk-based PBX with Polycom IP501 phones. Am Fairly satisfied and am starting to get into FTP setup of the phones. Have figured out most things except for how button remapping works. In sip.cfg, I have this entry: <keys key.IP_500.31.function.prim="DoNotDisturb"></keys> This works as expected but if I try to change the remapping to any

I remember seeing something like this on the list a while ago, but I'm darned if I can find it. We have a number of Polycom IP501 phones, some of which have more than one registration on them. When a voicemail is left for a phone with only one registration, the MWI lights up and stays lit until the voicemail is listened to. However, on our phones with more than one registration, the MWI

That is how many old PBX phone systems work and it is that way our users are used to working with the phone system. Another issue with the way Asterisk callparking currently works is that there is only one call-park orbit, you cannot use a different set of numbers for a different call park instance(i.e. 700 goes to 701-720 AND 740 goes to 741-750). We also have several Grandstream phones which

At the moment we're not - the email notification from Comedian Mail has been mostly sufficient. I do however have some Dialogic D/42-NS PBX emulation cards and the plan is to use them to set and unset the MWI lamps based on events pushed out of Asterisk. They may be obsolete hardware but they came in real handy for extracting the voicemail from the old StarTalk NAM too. Take a look at the
