Hi, all. I see that the Polycom SoundPoint IP 330 supports VLAN... but I don't quite see how that works. Do you point a non-VLAN'd segment at it (akin to when you uplink a VLAN_enabled switch), and have the phone implement the VLAN? Or...? *puzzled* Thanks much, -Ken

I bought a couple Polycom Soundpoint 300's, and have them working nicely with SIP... but I'd like to be able to do automatic config via FTP, but it requires some XML config files. The docs discuss them in detail, but I can't seem to d/l them from Polycom. [No, it doesn't appear to be on the CD that comes with the phone.] I've created an account at Polycom's tech support

http://downloads.polycom.com/voice/voip/sip_sw_releases_matrix.html Howdy, all. What's the difference between "split" and "combined" firmware, which can be seen at the above link? I've googled to no avail, I'm afraid. Thanks! -Ken -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Hi, all. I want to have a button on my receptionist's 601 that, when pressed, will forward her current call to a given extension. Is there any way to do that? I've tried to RTFM, but I'm coming up empty. Thanks, -Ken D'Ambrosio

Hey, all. I quoted a customer about $100 for some cheap SIP phones. I was planning on using the BT-102's, but he called said they look like "Princess phones," and I have to admit that he has a point. Some of the other inexpensive phones look decent, but (for example) the SPA-841's wiki entry says the remote end gets a lot of static. Since it'll be being used from a noisy

Does anyone know where I can get replacement handsets for the Polycom SoundPoint IP phones? Or does anyone have any they want to sell? From the looks of it you have to buy a whole new phone to get a new handset. My vendor, TriaTechCOA, told me I had to buy a whole new phone to get a handset, which is pretty ridiculous. Maybe there is a more sane vendor I should be buying from? Thanks, -Ryan

Okay, I'm terribly confused. If I build and run Asterisk with the 1.0.0 sources that I downloaded from Digium, my Polycom 300 works just fine. If I build with either various CVS builds, or the 1.0.6 sources from Digium, I get "No compatible codecs!". WTF? I'm using -the exact same- config files for both; I've tried enabling/disabling ULAW, ALAW and G279 on the

Docs? Polycom has docs? Where would one find this fabled land of... err I mean Polycom does stating what ftp servers are supported?

Hey, all. I've got an office set up with Asterisk, and forwarding's got a bit of a glitch: When they forward, they listen for the remote phone to ring, then hang up. If the remote phone doesn't connect, it goes to the original phone's VM. Is this Polycom's "fault," or Asterisk's? I've been reading up on blind/supervised forwards, and, honestly, have

Hey, all. I'm in the middle of a rollout, and just learned that the SoundPoint IP 430 -- my favorite mid-range phone -- has been discontinued. The heir apparent is the SoundPoint IP 450 -- for a low, low, low $130 more/handset. AND it doesn't look as nice. Ouch. Does anyone have any recommendations -- Polycom or otherwise -- for a good-quality, mid-range, two-line SIP phone (with good

Hey, all. I'm planning on migrating a W2K3 server to a Linux solution. It needs to be AD-aware, support ACLs, etc. This isn't something I'm doing Right Now(tm), so I can wait a little bit. A couple questions: 1) Are there any known issues with BTRFS? 2) Which version of Samba would be most appropriate for this? 3) AD integration: I've never really done it (with success); any

Hey, all. Just wondering if there's a GUI out there -- preferably OSS, but I'll take what-have-you -- that a) can run on an Ubuntu/Debian box, and b) allows a receptionist to see what calls are in-process, and forward calls from their phone to somewhere else.

I can't figure out how one upgrades the boot ROMs for the Polycoms. I've read the wiki, I've checked the docs, I've looked here, there, everywhere; I hoped it might be through the web interface, through DHCP... but I can't see how to do it. Suggestions? Thanks! -Ken

Hi, all. I just upgraded my sip.cfg for my Polycoms, and that damn warble on registration(? -- maybe it's on acquiring an IP?) has started again. I still have the old sip.cfg, but can't figure out which option it is. Any help?

I need to find a way to have the Polycom phones automatically park calls. Right now my users hit #70# (I know the last # is optional but it speeds it up.) to park a call. Personally I think this is easy, but my users would like one button to do this for them. The Polycom has buttons we don't need (Transfer & Services), it would be nice if I could remap one of those buttons to dial

Hi, all. I've done some Asterisk recelling, but recently got roped into a Sr. SysAdmin position. Our PBX is c. 1823, and -- well, as pretty much all circuit-based systems do, it sucks. It sucks to administer, moves suck... you know the drill. So, I'd love change to an Asterisk system. My boss, who loves to spend money for no particular reason, wants to go proprietary, though. So

I'd *really* like to be able to have a call ring three different cell phones; then, if someone answers, they have to somehow acknowledge the call for it to be directed to them. That way, if one of the phones is off, or out of range, it doesn't go straight to that phone's voicemail. Asterisk 1.4 -- though I could probably upgrade. Suggestions on how to make this happen? Thanks!

I'm RTFM'ing, but I can't figure out how the dhcpd.conf file specifies the boot server, and how it differentiates between whether it's FTP or TFTP. I've tried option 66/next-server, and option 150, to no avail. And the docs just don't -- leastwise, in the way I'm reading them -- make sense. I've checked the admin guide, I've checked the wiki... no dice.

I got dragged away from Asterisk (somebody made me an offer I couldn't refuse for system administration), but I'm thinking about seeing if I can't get it deployed at my new employer. Regardless, there are two things about older voicemail that used to annoy me: - Dial by name. Has anyone made it so it can be first or last? - Jump to voicemail; you used to have to actually dial the

Hey, all. Got an SNOM 820 in the other day to kick the tires. As with many phones, provisioning it was a bit of a PITA. The biggest problem, as far as I could tell, was that their firmware just doesn't seem that stable, and is sometimes hard to get to. - I managed to corrupt the firmware twice; fortunately, instead of bricking the phone, there's a fairly easy-to-use "rescue
