similar to: Page app, Polycom IP 601, 60 SIP peers, Interesting Issue WORKING NOW

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

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

Asterisk 1.2.13 - Evolution PBX from Intuitive Voice Technologies We have an installation of 35 SIP phones (Polycom 501) and one receptionist phone (Polycom 601). I have 15 of the 501s set up to accept a "Page". From what I understand, the "Page" is done using the asterisk page application that throws the extensions into a conference room and then set the originating caller

Hi, We have a user who is putting large call volumes through Asterisk, and wants to BLF monitor up to 90 extensions. We are struggling to find a handset that can keep up with Asterisk :) 1) Is there a handset that will do this? 2) Is there a different (standard) way to send BLF and allow directed pickups? 2a) Or even a handset specific way? Asterisk handles the BLF volume fine, even on quite

One of our clients is using a Grandstream GXP2000 with an attendant console. We have used the same phone with past clients successfully however this particular operator processes around 200 calls a hours and the GXP2000 for sure does not like the quick line shuffling and call volume. We get the following problems randomly: 1. menu stops working 2. transfer key stops working 3. Line 1 LED gets

Hello list- I'm having an extremely odd issue with an installation of mine. The system is running * 1.2.12.1 and currently handles around 100 handsets. With the exception of a few Grandstream DTA's, all devices are Polycom 320, 430, or 601's. After a recent power outage, I'm having an extremely odd issue with one of the handsets. One of the Polycom 601 units simply reboots every

I came up with this a few days ago, mostly used the wiki examples, didn't have time to post on the wiki yet, maybe one of you guys with a few minutes can throw it up there, really, I forgot my logon. http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+Paging+and+Intercom The agi script didn't work for me, wouldn't call the active hint extensions, even though they were there, no

Has anyone got this annoying sidecar to illuminate when users are on the phone? In my function key settings I have: Context: Active Type: Extension Number: <sip:4000@serve.address.com;user=phone> (4000 is the extension I want to see/dial on the key). I can press the key and it will dial the extension, it just won't illuminate when the user is on the phone or on DND Since I have

Hi, folks: I just took delivery of new PoE cables (PN 2200-11077-002) for our Polycom phones here in the office. I have the following to report, for the erudition of existing Polycom users and those considering purchasing Polycom sets from the set of models noted in the subject: 1. The cables do indeed work (hooray). 2. The cable has a module on it about a third of the way from a female end.

I need to buy some new phones for our own offices. I've used only Polycom phones until now, but I'd like to broaden my experience. I'm trying to decide which phones to experiment with. I have these options: - A combination of Polycom, Aastra and Snom - Just Polycom One the one hand, I'd like to keep things uniform, since it greatly simplifies provisioning. On the other hand, I

I have a Polycom 601 with 3 expansion modules running 2.0.3. We have Buddywatch set up on around 42 users on the expansion modules. We are experiencing reboots on the 601. Today it happened twice after users paged through the phones. The page groups have about 23 phones each. There is a third page group comprising all 46 phones. I'm thinking it may be an issue with changing buddywatch

Hi I'm currently using a windows image processing application that regularly writes the user's image adjustments out to a 'sidecar' file in the same directory as the original image. When the original file is on a local disk this works fine but when the original image is on Samba share, the sidecars are not created. The application reports the following in its log: 2012-07-14

Hello, We are at wit's end on this. One (and only one) of our five asterisk installation is giving us real headaches. Buzzing and/or choppy sound interfere with conversations. I recorded some conversations with monitor() and no problem whatsoever appear in the recording, while the local user was hearing the buzz and half my words. This is a 1.2.16 installation with mISDN but mostly using

I am looking to replace all of the old "Bell" (POTS) phones in my home and office with IP phones. As you can imagine I don't have a huge budget to work with but I want phones that will provide acceptable voice quality and durability. There are basically three categories as I see it 1. satellite phones (low cost, low function) 2. primary domestic phone (good quality, POE capable,

We are running 2.1.1 with 3 expansion modules. Presence in turned on in sip.cfg, hints are set up on the extensions and buddy watch is enabled on about 40 extensions mapped to the expansion modules. We have 3 paging groups: "Building A" with 20 phones, "Building B" with 20 phones and "Both with all 40 phones. When Building A or B is paged separately, the 601 handles it

Hi List; Can someone advise me if Polycom support H323 that work fine with Asterisk? And wether this H323 Polcyom devices more costly than SIP Polycom. Also, I am not able to know if new Polycom come with PoE adaptor so no need for PoE Switch (can use normal switch that does not support PoE)? Do I need any special cable for Polycom or normal Ethernet cable? Regards Bilal

I have a 501 with traditional power and a 301 with PoE. I rightfully assumed that the traditional power from the 501 would work on the 301. How do I get the PoE to work? Do I use the Polycom PoE cable in addition to whatever PoE injection method I use? I have a Cisco PoE injector that works on my Cisco AP350 and my 7960. No combination of this injector, the Polycom cable, and the phone result in

Thanks for all the comments on the 3Com phones. Thankfully, there is a large number of phones out there to dig through looking for the right solution. What I have not been able to find, after spending all weekend looking, is a good solution for an attendant console. We have 2 receptionists that need to be able to view all 60+ phones (we could probably weed it down a bit if we had to,

If anyone on the list has a Polycom 601 + sidecar expansion they want to sell for less than $250 including shipping to New York 10027 then email me details.
