similar to: Polycom question - removing a soft key functionality

I've got a problem that keeps popping up with my reception phone. It is a IP 650 and the receptionist - on three occassions - has accidentally hit the "Forward" softkey just before she enters the "Page All" keystrokes and then all future calls get routed as an overhead page. I will admit, the first time it happened, I was totally stumped. Why the heck did I have

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 am currently utilizing Polycom IP600 phones and presense. I have placed the hint directives in and everything seems to work fine. But this only works for a short period of time. After about 30 minutes, the extensions do not see when others are on the phone. Has anyone seen this type of behavior before? I am currently utilizing v1.5.2 of the polycom software and the cvs-head release from

Hi all, I've installed samba-3.0.21rc2 on a solaris 10 machine (latest patches applied) by compiling from source: #uname -a SunOS newton 5.10 Generic_118844-20 i86pc i386 i86pc User's home is mounted using automount without any problem. But when I try to mount using samba, it can not access the users home directory when it 's share is not mounted and gives following error:

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

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

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

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, There are a lot of posts around the web about my question; unfortunately I have not been able to get any of the solutions to work. I'm using Asterisk 1.6.2.8 under CentOS 5.5. I'm trying to get call pickup working for the secretaries that monitor their bosses' phones. The BLF and the speed dial works great on the Linksys phones. Call pickup is the problem.

This is very OT. If list readers can point me in the right direction, to other mailing lists, or web sites for recommended databases, that will be much appreciated! My wife's doctor wants to move records, for approximately 6000 patients (over a 12 year period), from paper (18th century) to a database (20th century). The data entry will be a PITA, for his secretaries, regardless of what

I've got two Polycom 500's that I'm playing with, and I want view the status of either phone, (busy/on the phone/etc.) from the other. I've got this cute little 'Buddies' button, and I can add contacts to that. But the status doesnt actually update. Do I need to setup realtime for asterisk? Can anyone point me to some documentation or give me some hints? Thanks, Nihal

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

Somewhat off topic. We upgraded a Polycom phone from SIP v1.6.3 to v1.6.6 The phone will no longer send SIP subscription messages for buddies to Asterisk.

I've somehow managed to battle may way through hinting issues with type=peer type=friend and various other oddities and now have presence working correctly on my Polycom 600 and Grandstream GXP-2000 phones. However, on the Polycom I have to press the Buddies softkey in order to see if an extension with a hints priority is in use or not. I've spent all day going through google and my

Hello, I have a customer who has their front door integrated to their current phone system. If someone presses the buzzer, the secretaries phone will ring, and she can talk to the person at the door. By pressing ** she can release the door. Anyone have any sort of integration like this. Are there IP devices anyone is using? They have a pizza box server as their asterisk server with

I have a ton of Nortel MICS/CICS phone systems and am looking for an easy way to integrate them. Two questions arise: 1. Is it feasible to use asterisk as a Man in the Middle for a T1 PRI system? The idea is to intercept outbound calls from the Nortel PBX and redirect them via VoIP to another asterisk box at another branch transparently(thus saving the LD cost). Otherwise I'd pass

No need to upgrade to this release if you already have the new bogons file or don''t use that file.
