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

Hi, I just got and setup a new ip500 yesterday and it worked for about 15 minutes. Then it froze during a reboot.Now, when power cycled, the logo comes on for 3 seconds and then the screen is blank and nothing further happens. 468* factory reset doesn't work. I am about to send the phone back, but wonderd if anyone had a suggestion first.

I'm guessing that I need more info entered into the 'message centre' section. What did you key 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

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

Hi All - I'm running version SIP version 1.3.4 on various IP300, IP500, and IP600 Polycom phones. I'm having a tough time with MWI. I thought I remembered somebody on the list saying that they had it working, but I can't find it in the archives now. I have all the phones configured for MWI as specified in the WIKI: ipdmid.cfg: up.oneTouchVoiceMail="1"

Hi All - I noticed that the Polycom IP501's are now shipping. Has anyone gotten one yet, and if so, what's different about the phone? Any UI improvements, or is it just better hardware? Thanks, Noah

Hi, Has anyone used polycom phone IP500/600's conference feature? I ran into some issues. Polycom is not behind NAT. Polycom calls pstn number A, (gets two way voice), presses conference, (A is put on hold), calls pstn number B, (gets two way voice), presses conference again, suppose to have all three parties in the call, polycom and B have two way voice, but polycom doesn't have two

Could someone please direct me (via personal email) to a provider with good prices on Polycom Soundpoint IP 500's with POE cables? I need 14 of them.

Hi, I just got my ip500 back after months of waiting. Is there an easy way to get it hooked up to asterisk without [t]ftp servers and all that or is there a quickstart page somewhere? tia r

Could someone please recommend a reasonably priced IP phone that works well with *, has a decent (full duplex, echo canceling) speakerphone, has at least two line appearances, and can transfer / conference reliably? The Wiki lists 35 brands of hardphone, but: 1. Most seem to be toys. 2. For many, there is no info on e.g. speakerphone characteristics. 3. When one seems technically promising, e.g.

I've had an IP300 for a while now and it's been working fine. I just got an IP500 and when it connects to the FTP server it downloads the new bootrom and says error loading. The bootrom is fine and works on the 300... In addition, I downloaded a new copy to be sure and it still doesn't work. Can anyone give me some advice?

I just received my first polycom 501, tried my best to follow all of the documentation and configs on the wiki ( though some conflicted in which case i tried both ways ), and at the end of the day can not connect my phone to asterisk. My Questsions: does the wiki information apply to the 501's? The images and config files at freedomphones, are those supposed to work with the 501? Has anyone

Hello, I have configured my polycom ip600 and ip500. The phone works well. But the clock is wrong and flashes the whole time. Drives me nuts! I have set the time offset on the DHCP / boot server. 36000 (I'm in Australia!) It doesn't seem to help... Mike

Hello, I am looking at the Polycom phones. The ip600 has a very nice screen, is that the only real advantage over the ip500 and ip300.. Is it worth the extra dollars?

Hi Everyone, I've been asked to determine which phones our organization should go with. And I've narrowed it down to the Polycom IP500 or the Cisco 7940. From my travels through google, it's hard to find a definitive comparison of the two phones. So I thought I would ask the people that have probably used both. From what I can tell, the only major benefit the Cisco has over the

Hello, Does anybody have the latest Boot ROMs for the IP500 and IP 600 Polycom phones. I have one of each and can't find the Boot ROM v 3 anywhere to download. I would also love a good sample phone.cfg and sip.cfg files from an Aussie asterisk user to look at. Also the ip500 is having problems trying to load the bootrom 2.6.2 ? Any ideas? Kind regards Michael Felder IT Medic

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

I am trying to use a Polycom Soundpoint IP400 with my asterisk setup, and have been unable to find the proper firmware and application files to make it work. The phone can access the FTP server, and downloads the IP500/600 configuration files, but claims that the sip.ld file is larger than its file system. I can think of two possible ways to make this work. One is to find the IP400

>From the Wiki: 'There are aready a few bugs in 1.5.2 but more fixes some good new features' Anyone know where the bugs are being listed? I am working through a few issues: 1. When rebooting, the phone will pause for exactly 180 seconds with the screen reading 'updating initial configuration'. I know it is 180 seconds because when I tail the FTP server log the entries are
