similar to: SIP phones at multiple locations

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

A follow up (late better than never) Finally had time to sit down and look at this sip.cfg <keys key.scrolling.timeout="1" key.IP_500.31.function.prim="BuddyStatus"/> This turns the Services key which I never use on a 501 into the Buddy Status. It even works while on a call. One touch! Bill ________________________________ From: Bill Gibbs

I know this is not asterisk specific but we all know this group is used for Polycom issues as well... I have hints working ok on Asterisk. However the Polycom phone will only show the buddies key if there is not a call. This defeats the purpose of using the buddies to see if you can transfer a call to another extension (using the Buddy key to see if they are on the phone). Polycom sip

Greetings, Recently there has been talk of the presence/buddy feature with asterisk and Polycom phones. I have it setup, and working as expected, however I can only get 7 buddies to appear on the screen at any given time. Has anyone gotten more than 7 buddies to appear? I'm just trying to find out if this is some polycom limitation, bug, or my error. Thanks, Matt -- Matt Gibson VOIP

I'm running into an issue w/ Buddy status on Polycom IP650 phones using buddy status (with SIP Hints) on Asterisk 1.4. Sometimes the status on the phones will "stick" in the busy status. I have noticed that I can call that extension & the status will reset (sometimes). Anyone else encountered this or anything similar. -Chris

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

I'm trying to get the BLF to work correctly on my Polycom phones. I have the buddy watch working correctly, but can't get the BLF to change based on the state... Example: When an extension is ringing, I get the same 'red light' that I get when the extension is actually in use... I was wondering if anyone had any experience with getting the Polycom phone to

We are having an issue that I have been unable to figure out how to resolve. I think its related to the Polycom Phones and not the Asterisk configuration, but I'm not positive. We have several Polycom 500/501/601's on both a LAN and at employee homes. The problem we are having is if our internet connection goes down the Local LAN phones loose their connection to the Asterisk Server.

While trying to deploy a bunch of Polycom IP 500 phones, I ran in to the following. I limited the RTP ports from 8000-8050 to limit holes in firewall. Pretty soon Asterisk ran out of RTP ports. Traced the problem back to how * is handling SUBSCRIBE. A sip structure is allocated as soon as a request is received, which also allocates RTP ports. Normally, this is not a problem as the structure

Hi, I configured Buddy Watch function on my Polycom IP 601. It works well, until I make a reload of Asterisk. After reload, It can't monitor any lines and I have to restart the phone to reactivate this function. Is this a specific problem of asterisk-1.2.3? How can I solve it? Thank in advance, regards, Marco.

Using a SIP connection with a CLEC, the downstream (received) audio is perfect when the mute button is activated on the phone. However, when there is upstream audio (i.e., talking or even breathing into the microphone), the downstream audio is cut off. It's kinda like having a half-duplex audio connection. When I divert outgoing calls to another provider, these calls are fine.

Hi, I configured Buddy Watch function on my Polycom IP 601. It works well, until I make a reload of Asterisk. After reload, if I give the "show hints" command in Asterisk's CLI, it says that there are no watcher for the extensions that I configured. Before the reload in the CLI appears: -= Registered Asterisk Dial Plan Hints =- 3002 : SIP/3002 State:

Hi List, Not sure if this is the place for this so here goes ... We have a number of Polycom 501's connected to our * box and they work great. Some of our users have added a few entries into the directory on the phone. The problem is on those particular phones they now sometimes get "resource full" on the phone when accessing the directory. No central directory was configured.

Polycom 601 with Sip 2.01 Anyone using Sip 2.01? I have upgraded my phones and now presence no longer functions. Buddy list shows all phones online but status does not change when someone is on a call. Also blf does not function. I am using trixbox, 1.67 was working fine on the same box. Any ideas?

All, Slightly off topic. Polycom released their SIP software version 1.6.6 for their phones recently. I was under the impression that this release fixed a previous limitation where the phones would only watch 7 buddies, ie send 7 sip subscriptions to Asterisk. I have configured a phone directory to watch 30 or so appearances, and it still seems to only be sending 7 subscriptions to Asterisk.

Hi All, I have a pretty standard Asterisk PBX setup with 60 SIP Peers, mostly Polycom 501's and a receptionist phone, Polycom IP 601 with 3 attached sidecars and Buddy Watch enabled monitoring all other SIP phones. The problem occurs when a group (all SIP peers) Page is called. Not always but sometimes when the Page is executed, the IP 601 will become unreachable from Asterisk. So when the

I'm having difficulty with an Asterisk system. The external party has very good call quality, but the internal party hears clipping and drop outs. The WAN comes in from the Cisco IAD and into a LAN switch (DLink DGS-1005D w/ 802.1p) where the two public IPs are switched to different devices. One device is a FireBox device controlling a separate LAN with VPNs. The other device is eth0

Hi, I am using Polycom 501 and I came across a problem. As soon as I have incominglimit=1 in sip.conf, which is necessary for buddy watching, I cannot transfer calls. On the console it tells me: Call from user '3052' rejected due to usage limit of 1. Can someone please tell me how to get around this problem? (I don't know if this is relevant, but in the phone.cfg file, I have
