similar to: Polycom-330 not displaying line & buddy label?

Hi, I found your post on http://threebit.net/mail-archive/asterisk-users/msg04580.html I am having the exact same issue with the Polycom IP601 (SIP version 1.6.6.0036) with Asterisk 1.2.7.1. I was wondering if you found any solution to it. I would really appreciate if you could share your solution. Thanks, Khairul. BELOW, THIS WAS YOUR POST Polycom IP 601 Buddy Watch problems

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 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:

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

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

Hello, On our Polycom phones we can not activate the Buddy Watch feature. When you add or edit a contact, the list ends at "Auto Divert".....I know it is the end of the list b/c the down arrow on the right side of the screen disappears when I get to Auto Divert. When I add <bw>1</bw> manually to the speed dial file it doesn't change anything. The buttons work well for

I've just set up my dial plan to use hints for each of my extensions, and I've set up a buddy watch list on my Polycom IP-501's, however, I keep getting the following messages every 5 or so minutes: -- Incoming call: Got SIP response 500 "Internal Server Error" back from 192.168.1.106 -- Incoming call: Got SIP response 500 "Internal Server Error" back from

Hello all, We have an Asterisk server that has worked without issue for a while. Before, only Sipura and Polycom 500 series phones were used. Recently, we've added a few POE switches and 20 or so Polycom 330's. The 330's seem to lock up often. One easy way to do this is by hitting the * key. I looked thru the XML files for dialplan and what not, nothing stood out.

Hello, I've found that my Polycom-501 accepts INVITES from any server in the world... I would like to restrict it to accept calls only from the servers listed in its config file, but I cannot find anything in the documentation. Any idea? Thanks, __Yehavi:

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.

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

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

Use Snom phones. We have had around 6 participants, without problems. In theory you should be able to have around 12 people on a conference on a snom phone.

I am having a couple of (unrelated) problems with my polycom 501. 1. The buddy watch is just not working. It tells me that everyone is online, whether or not they are. Here is an example directory entry for one of the peers (whose phone is not registered). <item> <ln>F</ln> <fn>J</fn>

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.

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
