[Asterisk-Users] Polycom IP 500 Voicemail

[Wiley E. Siler]

My Polycom is on loan as a demo and I assume it is one of the first
revision models.  In fact it shows as Rev A on the back of the phone.

I have all the same buttons you listed save for the Messages button.
The 3rd from the bottom on the right column of buttons sayd Voice Mail
on my version.  That corresponds to the location of your button that
says Messages.  I assume this was changed by Polycom since their phone
has other messaging capability (isntant message for instance) and it was
easier to use Messages and unify the meaning instead of Voice Mail and
lock it into one type of messaging.

Does your Messages button dump you right into voice mail or do you have
to navigate a menu first?

Thanks,
Wiley

Strange, I have an IP500 right out of the new-plastic-gadget-smell box,
and it doesn't have a button labelled Voicemail.


On the left side are the blue speaker, red mute, and blue headset
buttons, 
then next to them top to bottom are the three Line buttons (clear covers

for putting your own labels), Directories, Services, Call Lists, 
Conference, Transfer, and Redial.

On the right of the system, top side are the 4 way selection pad with 
select and delete, then below that are Menu, Messages, and Do Not
Disturb, 
and finally Hold.

In the middle are the 12 keypad keys, 4 soft keys, and volume + and -
buttons.

No where am I able to find a hard voicemail button.
