similar to: question on ways to activate voicemail light on polycom

Hello, is there some way to make Asterisk light up a certain light on an IP-phone ? Like MWI, the message waiting indicator can light up if there is voicemail. Could this light, or even other lights (like BLF-buttons) be used to give a visual notification to the user ? For example : if a certain value is set in the Mysql-DB and Asterisk reads out this value, can Asterisk react upon it inside

Hello; I am using vicidial which is using asterisk 1.8, mean while when the extension has voicemail, I always see the red light on the Polycom and hear the beep sound (toot toot) in period time. Also, I can see at the LCD an option to select it for accessing the voicemail ?but I am facing the following problems: 1) The red light and the beep: How I can let the Phone only have the red light

Hi All, Has anyone gotten the polycoms or the linksys phones to accept oprtion 66 on the dhcp request for the address of the tftp config server? We have the dhcp server issuing the proper IP of the tftp server, but the phones just sit there and never try to contact the tftp server for their configs. We can see the proper option going from the dhcp to the phones with ethereal trace. Thanks JR

I have PolyCom phones in one office working perfectly, but in another office with a new subnet, new server, new everything, the time does not work. Everything else about the phones seems fine, but the time. If you look at the internal webpage in the phone, it shows "clock". Our server, which is configured to allow others on the net to get their time from it, and it in turn gets its

This is not necessarily Asterisk specific but if I have Polycom 301/501 and 601s and want to dial a missed call back, how do I prepend a 9 - can I do this via the polycom config? I can't find anything in the docs. Bill -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Would anyone happen to have some examples of polycom configs, specifically the 650 with sidecar for blf. I have the asterisk side all configured since I've set up blf with other types of phones, but I'm missing the polycom side. I've put together a <mac>-directory.xml, and the sidecar now lists numbers as speed dials but does not subscribe to blf.

I think Polycom has added another feature that nobody wants. With MWI configured, and a phonexxx.cfg that has this: <msg msg.bypassInstantMessage="1"> <mwi msg.mwi.1.subscribe="" msg.mwi.1.callBackMode="contact" msg.mwi.1.callBack="XXX" msg.mwi.2.subscribe=...> </msg> Under 1.3.4 and earlier, the phone would immediately

I recently sent this email to a user in response to a problem report of phone calls going to voicemail without the phone ringing. I'm wondering if I've covered all bases, or whether there is some logical explanation I haven't considered, and generally what others' opinions/experiences are that relate. This is an Asterisk system, of course. ------- I looked at the server logs

Hi: What's the trick for getting the Polycom IP 501 message light to go on when there is voicemail waiting? Any ideas? -Stephen-

All, I am setting up asterisk on a nslu2 (Linksys) using unslug. Everything is working great except that I have a polycom 301 and I cannot get the message indicator to work. I have created the users and mailbox in users.conf and I can manually dial the mailbox (*986000). Last thing is I am not using config files for the polycom just web browser. Can anyone point me in the right direction I

Hello, I have a bunch of Polycom 601's and Asterisk 1.4.13. The problem is that the MWI indicators will never go off (The blinking red light and envelope in the LCD). I have tried to upgrade to 1.4.14 and all different SIP versions on the Polycoms. I am now at 1.6.7 Here is the SIP Message that turns on the lights: Scheduling destruction of SIP dialog '

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

Hi folks, A user here has asked if we can display the current voicemail message's envelope (date/time/caller id of message) in the LCD of the Polycom phones we use (430 & 501). I realize this is somewhat like the many caller-id-after-the-fact threads, but I figured maybe someone had solved this a different way. Has anyone been able to do this, via caller ID, messaging, the mini-browser

Hi! I have the following questions/problems with * 1.4. We have several Snom phones (320 and 360). Hints are configured in extensions.conf (core show hints shows the correct values). My Snom phone is registered to some numbers (validated by using sip show subscriptions). I see the lights blinking if someone calls the subscribed number and steady lights if the call is established. So far, so

I searched and read all the relevant posts, but I still don't have a solution to my problem.. I've got a small queue for tech support calls using AddQueueMember. The agents are using IP300's from polycom. In my example, only one agent is logged int. When a call comes into the queue, asterisk sends the call to the one agent logged in. The agent answers and is talking to the

Hi Guys, I have some Polycom 601's here. It is super annoying that the phone every so often beeps to let me know that I have a VM. Is there any way to turn that off ? (I just want the red led to blink that there is a VM). Thanks. Dovid -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Have a strange problem... When a C7960 calls the Polycom ip600, the ip600's first line button blinks, the ip600 display shows the proper callerid, but the phone does not ring at all. If I call the same ip600 from a bt102, the ip600 rings properly. If I call the same ip600 from another C7960, the ip600 rings properly. All phones and asterisk are on the same lan within a few feet.

I have meetme working with BLF on polycom phones however when meetme is not actually being used by anyone the 'status' of meetme becomes "idle". Which the Polycom phone sees and produces a clock symbol and FLASHING red LED. Are there any 'tricks' or work-arounds to change this status to something that does not blink the phone's LED making it look busy when meetme is

Hi all, We're testing TLS and SRTP on Asterisk 1.8.10.0 and have it working with a commerical (not self-sign) AlphaSSL wildcard (GlobalSign) using Blink Lite 1.6.2 as per https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Secure+Calling+Tutorial We've tested with Bria on an iPhone and that doesn't recognised the commercial CA (GlobalSign Root CA).
