similar to: Park buttons on Polycom IP501/601

Anyone want to talk briefly about one-button call parking/pickup on Asterisk with Polycom phones? Does anyone use it or know to do it? On many phone systems there are 2 or 3 park buttons, and you can park a call onto an unlit park button, and then the light flashes. You can go to any other phone, and press the park button with the flashing light to pick up the call. Super easy from the

One more Polycom IP601 question please (sorry for the long intro here to document) ... In order to closely approximate the behavior of the previous telephone system that many of the users are familiar with, I have set up call parking like this: - features.conf [general] section contains: parkext => ** ; What extension to dial to park parkpos => 10-11 ; What

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'm trying to get call parking working with the lighted buttons on the SNOM 200. I have set the 5 buttons to "Park Orbit", for extensions 700-704. Pressing the first button (x700) does park the call. However, the remaining buttons (x701-704) don't allow me to pick up parked calls, or show parking status via the LEDs. I can only pick up parked calling by manually dialing the

>From discussions with the receptionist staff, this is what we need: X number of buttons for parking slots. These buttons should be lit when a call is parked there. When on a call, just pushing an unlit button will park the call. (The do not want to hit hold, transfer, etc.) Hitting Transfer and the button would most likely be OK. To pick up a call, they can push the parking slot button. The

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

Has anyone gotten one-touch call parking to work on Polycom phones via the Enhanced Feature Keys feature working? I've looked at various examples, they appear correct, but the phones (501, 3.1.x firmware) show the Park button while in a call but this does not actually cause the call to be parked. Doing a SIP debug, I don't see that anything is transmitted as a result of pressing the call

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, Has anyone had any great difficulties with QoS using the second ethernet phone in these Polycom phones for desktop machines in a converged network? I had heard that these can cause difficulties when used in this manner. I have always tried to persuade customers to go with 2 ethernet drops per workstation to avoid having to use the phone as a switch. I apologize for this question not being

If I have two extensions: exten 128 SIP username: chris exten 117 SIP username: pam I call 128 from 117, and then try to use the Polycom IP 600 "park" softkey (on 117), it fails and this is what happens: Sip read: REFER sip:128@192.168.25.1 SIP/2.0 Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 192.168.25.119:5060;branch=z9hG4bKae271046B272902B From: "pam"

The answer is yes, I think, but I don't recall precisely how off the top of my head, and I'm walking out the door in a moment. The phone will hold more than a dozen distinct ring tones which you can create for yourself, and you can have asterisk direct it to use a ring tone independently of line appearance. The most direct way would be with the SIP Alert-Info field, but the phone itself

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:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Has anybody got the polycom acd function to work? I have the following setup: Debian 3.1 - 2.6.8 linux zlib-1.1.4 libpri-1.2.3 zaptel- 1.2.6 Asterisk - the bweschke/polycom_acd_funtions branch version - I get one error when doing a make install about needing a newer version of libpri and zaptel, I got the above versions from asterisk.org, are there newer version anywhere else?
