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.

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

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

Idle curiosity: I like the look and feel of the Grandstreams, but it's been my experience that the speakerphones suck (esp. when compared to the pretty damn flawless Polycoms). I've used the BT-100/101 and GS-2000; have any of their newer models changed that?

Hi... I've been fighting this for a while now, trying clean builds of Asterisk 1.14.18, 1.14.19rc3, and then 1.6 Beta 6 today. No workee. :-( Here's the results for various calls made off-hook (push the blue Speakerphone button on the Polycom 430): 988852700 - Phone waits for me to either hit the soft-key "Send" or "EndCall". If I hit "Send",

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?

Passing this along. I got it tonight from a friend: Basis Technology has uncovered a potentially serious issue with the Polycom SoundPoint IP600 SIP phones, which causes them to spontaneously reboot at unpredictable times. It appears that if the amount of current being delivered to the phone falls below a certain threshold, the phone will reboot. Here are the specific circumstances which will

Hey, all. I'm all over MWI, but I gotta say that I think the Polycoms go a bit over the top. The blinking LED is enough for me; how do I disable the stuttered dialtone and the audible warble? I've looked through the config files, but there are a HELL of a lot of options, and I haven't been able to find those particular ones yet. Thanks! -Ken -- This message has been scanned for

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

Thanks, I was afraid to try and change gains that I didn't know what they did simply because I don't want to blow a speaker or something.. :) I'll try it today. The only thing I haven't figured out is how to set a default ringer in the configuration file, set my time to EST w/ Daylight Savings and when receiving incoming calls if it's possible to see NAME & NUMBER instead

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

Could someone please recommend a reasonably priced IP phone that works well with *, has a decent (full duplex, echo canceling) speakerphone, has at least two line appearances, and can transfer / conference reliably? The Wiki lists 35 brands of hardphone, but: 1. Most seem to be toys. 2. For many, there is no info on e.g. speakerphone characteristics. 3. When one seems technically promising, e.g.

Anyone who has experience with the Polycom 330 know if the speakerphone is loud enough to be heard in a 20 foot x 20 foot room? The context is a classroom where announcements will need to be made. The phone will be wall mounted at the front of classroom. Thanks, Matthew Brothers

John, By chance do you know how to set a default ringer? What I have done is the following: <DEFAULT se.rt.1.name="Default" se.rt.1.type="ring" se.rt.1.ringer="7" se.rt.1.callWait="6" se.rt.1.mod="1"/> As you can see, I want 7 to be the default ringer for line 1... For some reason, it doesn't take these changes.

Hi, all. When I get calls on my SoundPoints, I only see the number -- is there a way to get the alpha portion of the CID, as well? Thanks! -Ken -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Hi, Is there a way to page a Polycom phone that is already in use (if, of course, the call isn't on speakerphone already)?

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'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

Hi, Is there a reliable way to auto-dial SIP phones (specifically Polycom) with some sort of TAPI driver in Windows? I am aware of SIPTAPI, which makes the user's phone ring, and when picked up dials the desired number, but I (and more to the point, many of my customers) find this annoying. I'd like the phone to autodial on speakerphone (or headset if there is one), without any human
