[Asterisk-Users] Polycom IP 600

[usedcanon]

I have a polycom IP600 for testing and will try it out if possible. Not sure
at the moment if the phone as MGCP or SIP software on it.

Btw, has polycom released the IP600, I was under the impression that it was
still in testing.

Umar.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom IP 600


I am getting ready to install Asterisk and I was looking into the Polycom
IP600 phones. I spoke with Polycom sales to verify the multiple line
appearance and they said it would work. More specifically, if lines 1-3 all
contain the same SIP registration info, the Polycom will only send out 1 SIP
registration to the server and then handle the calls ringing on multiple
lines.

I was wondering if anyone can confirm that this works with the polycoms. I
know the 7960s support this, but I want to make sure the Polycom sales team
wasn't just saying Yes to make the sale.

Any comments are appreciated.

-Eric
