I was reading through the polycom admin manual to fine-tune a customers
polycom 300 and 600 phones, when I saw some settings. the default ring
time (ie, before answer) is 60 seconds. Consider that your call is
probably not answered until the real person answers, so the polycom is
probably giving up and hanging up the call. This can be modified from
the ipmid.cfg file and I think can be set to 0 to wait for 'infinity'.

I can't remember which xml tag it is, but I think it would be in the
call section.
